Ingredients
• The Creamy Base: 2 blocks (16 oz) Cream Cheese (softened) mixed with ½ cup Monk Fruit sweetener.
• The Zesty Layer: 1 jar (10 oz) Sugar-Free Lemon Curd or a homemade sugar-free lemon pudding.
• The Flourless Topping: 2 ½ cups Almond Flour mixed with 1 tsp Baking Powder (replaces the standard yellow cake mix).
• The “Magic” Set: ¾ cup melted Butter (poured over the top to create that rustic, golden crust).
Preparation Steps
1. The Creamy Foundation: In a glass bowl, whip the softened cream cheese with your monk fruit until smooth and “velvety.” Spread this as the first layer in a greased 9×13 baking dish.
2. The Lemon Burst: Spread the sugar-free lemon curd evenly over the cream cheese layer. This provides the vibrant yellow center seen in your photo.
3. The Dump: Sprinkle the almond flour mixture evenly over the top. Do not stir! The beauty of a “dump cake” is the distinct layers.
4. The Golden Finish: Pour the melted butter slowly over the almond flour. Aim for total coverage so you get that “steakhouse-quality” golden-brown crust.
5. Bake: Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 35–40 minutes until the edges are bubbling and the top is slightly crisp.
6. The Serve: Let it cool completely so the layers set. Top with a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream right before serving to match your beautiful picture.
Why This Fits Your “Healthy Treasure” Collection
• Naturally Flourless: Swapping cake mix for almond flour keeps the dessert grain-free and rich in healthy fats, helping you feel “reborn” rather than weighed down.
• Zero Refined Sugar: By using monk fruit and sugar-free lemon curd, you enjoy the “wow” tartness of lemon without the inflammatory sugar spike.
• High-Protein Satiety: The combination of cream cheese and almond flour turns this into a “protein bomb” that satisfies your sweet tooth with a much smaller portion.
