Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 oz (450 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150 g) powdered erythritol or preferred keto sweetener
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) sour cream
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 tsp lime zest, freshly grated
  • 1 1/2 cups (150 g) almond flour
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp powdered erythritol (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) sour cream (for crema)
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice (for crema)
  • 1 tsp chipotle powder
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
  • Pinch of salt (for crema)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Line the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, melted butter, powdered erythritol, and salt. Mix until texture resembles wet sand.
  3. Press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 10 minutes until golden and fragrant. Remove and let cool.
  4. Using a hand whisk or wooden spoon, beat softened cream cheese and powdered erythritol together until smooth and creamy (3-4 minutes).
  5. Add eggs one at a time, whisking gently until just combined before adding the next.
  6. Fold in sour cream, lime juice, lime zest, and vanilla extract until well combined but still light and airy.
  7. Pour the batter over the cooled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
  8. Bake on the middle rack for 40-50 minutes until edges are set and center has a slight wobble.
  9. Cool the cheesecake in the oven with the door slightly open for 1 hour to prevent cracking.
  10. Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight to firm up and meld flavors.
  11. To make the chipotle lime crema, mix sour cream, lime juice, chipotle powder, chopped cilantro, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  12. Serve cheesecake slices topped with a spoonful of chipotle lime crema.
