Ingredients You'll Need

For the Crust:

For the Cheesecake:

  • 3 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons monk fruit sweetener
  • 1 package (1 ounce) freeze-dried strawberries, pulsed into crumbs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream

For Topping (Optional):

  • 2 cups sugar-free whipped cream
  • 1 pint fresh strawberries, sliced or whole

Step-by-Step Instructions

For the Crust:

  1. Prep the Dish: Line a 9-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later. Set aside.
  2. Mix the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, PureMonk Sweetener, and melted butter. Use a fork to blend the ingredients until they form a crumbly mixture.
  3. Form the Base: Pour the almond flour mixture into the prepared baking dish. Press it down evenly with your hands to create a firm crust layer. Place the dish in the refrigerator while you prepare the cheesecake filling.

For the Cheesecake:

  1. Cream the Cheese: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the powdered PureMonk Sweetener. Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is well incorporated.
  2. Add Flavors: Mix in the freeze-dried strawberry crumbs, vanilla extract, and heavy whipping cream. Continue to beat the mixture until it's smooth and well combined. Since this is a no-bake cheesecake, you don't have to worry about overbeating the filling.
  3. Fill the Crust: Spoon the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust. Smooth it out evenly with a spatula. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or longer if you have the time.

To Serve:

  1. Prepare to Slice: Once the cheesecake has set, lift it out of the dish using the parchment paper. Place it on a cutting board and cut into slices.
  2. Top It Off: Add a dollop of homemade sugar-free whipped cream and a fresh strawberry on top of each slice for an extra touch of decadence.
