Ingredients

  • 3 packages of cream cheese (24oz)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup Sverve, Erythritol or Splenda
  • 3 eggs (separated)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 juice of one lemon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup Trader Joe's just almond meal (or coarsely grind your own raw almonds)
  • 1/2 cup coarsely ground macadamia nuts
  • 3 tbsp butter

Method

  • Mix ground nuts with butter, press into 10" spring form and bake for 5min
  • In a clean, large metal (or glass) bowl beat egg whites until stiff (you can add pinch of cream of tartar)
  • In another bowl beat soft cream cheese with egg yolks, sour cream, sugar substitute, salt, vanilla and lemon juice
  • Pour the cream cheese mixture to egg whites and fold trying not to deflate whites too much
  • Pour cheesecake batter onto prebaked nut crust.
  • Prepare water bath in oven safe dish larger than your spring form.
  • Set spring form in a water bath (about inch of water).
  • Bake at 325 for 50min, turn off the oven and let sit another 50min with closed door.
  • Cool overnight in refrigerator.
  • I decorated mine with unsweetened baking chocolate mixed with heavy cream and sweetener and chopped pecans.
  • Enjoy.
