Ingredients You'll Need
For the Crust:
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 tablespoon PureMonk Sweetener
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
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:
- Prep the Dish: Line a 9-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later. Set aside.
- 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.
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
