Almond Crust
- Preheat oven to 350° F.
- Mix the almond flour, melted butter and sugar substitute in a bowl. Spray 8x8 square pan (or pie plate) with cooking spray, and press this mixture evenly into the pan.
- Place this crust in a preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden browned and slightly pulling away from the sides of the pan. Remove the crust from the oven, and let it cool while you make the filling.
Cheesecake Filling
- Dissolve the gelatin and sugar substitute in the boiling water, stirring for 2-3 minutes. Set aside to cool (refrigerate) and slightly thicken (20-30 minutes).
- Beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the the vanilla extract (if using unflavored gelatin). Gradually add the gelatin to the cream cheese, and mix really well.
- Whip the heavy cream until stiff, then gently fold in 1/2 cup at a time to the cream cheese mixture until well blended.
- Spread the mixture in the pan or pie plate and chill for a couple of hours.
Notes
- Add 1 Tablespoon unsweetened chocolate powder to the Almond crust while mixing!
- Add lemon zest for more flavor if using unflavored gelatin!
- If using flavored, sugar-free gelatin, add 5 calories per serving.
