Ingredients

Servings

120 g almond flour — for the base
50 g butter — melted
15 g erythritol — for the base
600 g full-fat cream cheese — at room temperature
90 g erythritol — for the filling
150 g eggs — 3 large
100 g double cream
15 g lemon juice — 1 tablespoon
5 g vanilla extract — 1 teaspoon

Method

Heat the oven to 160 °C (conventional) and line the base of a 22 cm springform tin with baking paper.
Mix the almond flour with the melted butter and the 15 g of erythritol until it looks like damp sand. Press it into the tin with the back of a spoon and bake for 10 minutes.
Beat the cream cheese with the rest of the erythritol on a low speed until smooth. Cold cream cheese straight from the fridge leaves lumps that won't beat out later.
Add the eggs one at a time, then the cream, lemon juice and vanilla. Mix only until combined, because air beaten into the filling makes it crack in the oven.
Pour the filling over the base and bake for 50–55 minutes. It is ready when the edges have set and the centre still has a slight wobble.
Turn off the oven, open the door slightly and leave the cheesecake inside for an hour. Then chill it for at least 6 hours (ideally overnight) and serve it plain or with a few raspberries and blueberries.

Strawberries with unsweetened whipped cream
The simplest dessert of the week: strawberries with cream you whip yourself, no sugar added. Cream from an aerosol can is sweetened, so it won't do here.
