Ingredients
  

  • 3 8-ounce packages cream cheese at room temperature
  • 1.5 cups sour cream at room temperature
  • 0.75 cup Swerve sugar substitute
  • 4 large eggs at room temperature
  • 0.75 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 0.25 teaspoon kosher salt balances sweetness
  • 1 cup almond flour gluten-free
  • 2 tablespoons coconut flour adds texture
  • 1 cup chopped pecans for the topping
  • 0.25 cup pure maple syrup natural sweetener

Equipment

  • 9-inch springform pan
  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer
  • Rubber spatula
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, melt the unsalted butter. Add almond flour, coconut flour, Swerve, and kosher salt. Stir until combined and press into a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes and set aside to cool.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese and 3/4 cup of Swerve. Beat until smooth. Add sour cream and mix. Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  3. Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust. Smooth the top and bake for 50-60 minutes, until edges are set and center is slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave cheesecake inside for 1 hour.
  4. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine chopped pecans and maple syrup. Cook for about 5 minutes until pecans are toasted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  5. Once cheesecake is cool, refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Before serving, spoon maple pecan topping over cheesecake. Carefully remove sides of springform pan, slice, and enjoy!
