Low Carb Lemon Cheesecake Recipe:

 Prep Time: 20 minutes

 Cook Time: 8 minutes

 Total Time: 28 minutes

 Servings: 6-8 servings

Ingredients

Crust:

• 1 1/4 cup almond flour
• 3 tbsp butter melted
• 1.5 tsp erythritol

Filling:

• 8-ounce cream cheese softened
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, optional
• 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
• 3-ounce packet sugar-free lemon jello
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions

Crust:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Generously spray an 8-inch baking dish or springform pan with cooking spray.
2. Mix almond flour, butter, and erythritol until the mixture is crumbly. Press in the bottom of the baking dish and bake for about 8-10 minutes until golden brown.
3. Cool completely.

Cheesecake:

1.  Using an electric mixer with the whisk attachment mix cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
2. Stir in vanilla extract.
3. Add in heavy cream and whisk on high until mixture thickens and soft peaks form.
4. Reduce speed to low and mix in jello packet and lemon zest until blended.
5. Spread mixture evenly with a spatula over cooled crust.
6. Cover and chill until set, about 2-3 hours or overnight.

 Tip: You can use any sugar-free jello flavor you want.  Lemon seems to be a classic cheesecake flavor, but you can also try cherry, raspberry, and strawberry.  Orange would be great, or even lime for a key lime cheesecake
