This method delivers a “melt-in-your-mouth” richness with a professional, “steakhouse-quality” finish.
Ingredients
• The “Magic” Crust: 1 1/2 cups Almond Flour, 1/2 cup finely crushed Pecans, and 1/4 cup melted butter.
• The “Velvety” Heart: 32 oz Cream Cheese (softened), 1 1/4 cups Powdered Monk Fruit, and 1 cup Sour Cream.
• The Infusion: 1 tbsp Vanilla Extract and 1 tsp fresh Lemon Zest (the “secret” to that professional “wow” aroma).
• The Lift: 4 large Eggs (added one at a time to keep the texture “unbelievable” and airy).
Preparation Steps
1. The Base: Press your nut-based crust into a springform pan. Bake at 350°F for 10 minutes until it looks “bakery-perfect” and golden.
2. The Mix: In a large glass bowl, cream the cheese and sweetener until “velvety.” Add sour cream and vanilla, then the eggs one by one.
3. The Bake: Pour the filling over the crust. Bake in a water bath at 325°F for 70–80 minutes. This is the “miracle” step that prevents cracks and keeps the top looking professional.
4. The Cool: Turn off the oven and leave the door ajar for one hour. This gradual cooling is the “magic touch” for a “steakhouse-quality” set.
5. The Chill: Refrigerate for at least 8 hours. This is when it transforms into a true “treasure”.
6. The Reveal: Slice with a warm knife for those “unbelievable” clean edges seen in your photo and enjoy your “reborn” tradition!
