Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 tbsp sweetener of choice
Cheesecake Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1/4 cup sugar-free maple syrup
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: Combine almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, melted butter, and sweetener in a mixing bowl. Stir well until the mixture is evenly combined and crumbly, forming the base for the crust.
- Form the Crust: Press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom of a pie dish or tart pan, making sure to create an even and compact layer to support the filling.
- Chill the Crust: Place the pie dish in the refrigerator and chill for 30 minutes to allow the crust to set and firm up properly.
- Mix the Filling: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with heavy cream until the mixture becomes smooth, creamy, and free of lumps.
- Add Pecans and Sweetener: Fold the chopped pecans and sugar-free maple syrup into the cream cheese mixture, mixing until the pecans are evenly distributed and the filling is fully combined.
- Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour the cream cheese filling over the chilled crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula for a smooth surface.
- Chill to Set: Refrigerate the assembled cheesecake for at least 3 hours or until the filling is firm enough to be sliced and served.
Notes
- Use a sugar-free sweetener of your choice, such as erythritol, stevia, or monk fruit, to keep the dessert keto-friendly.
- Chilling times are important to ensure both the crust and filling set properly for the best texture.
- For an extra decadent touch, garnish with additional pecans or a light drizzle of sugar-free syrup before serving.
- This no-bake recipe is perfect for warm days when you want to avoid using the oven.
