Ingredients

  • 1.25 cups superfine almond flour
  • 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1.25 cups powdered erythritol/monkfruit sweetener, divided
  • 24 ounces full -fat cream cheese, room temperature
  • 0.75 cup natural creamy peanut butter (no sugar added)
  • 0.5 cup full -fat sour cream, room temperature
  • 3 large eggs , room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 0.25 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  • In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, cocoa powder, 0.25 cup sweetener, and melted butter until a crumbly dough forms.
  • Press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom of the springform pan and bake for 10 minutes. Remove and let cool completely.
  • In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, beat the softened cream cheese and remaining 1 cup sweetener on medium speed until smooth and airy.
  • Add the peanut butter, sour cream, vanilla extract, and salt; mix until fully incorporated.
  • Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed just until combined to avoid incorporating excess air.
  • Wrap the exterior of the springform pan in two layers of heavy-duty aluminum foil and place it inside a large roasting pan.
  • Pour the cheesecake batter over the cooled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
  • Fill the roasting pan with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the springform pan.
  • Bake for 65 to 75 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center slightly jiggles when shaken.
  • Turn off the oven and crack the door open slightly; let the cheesecake rest inside for 60 minutes to prevent cracking.
  • Remove from the water bath, discard foil, and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight before serving.
