Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
- Grease a 9-inch springform pan or standard round baking pan with butter or non-stick spray. Alternatively, line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
- Mix the filling:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
- Add the powdered sweetener and mix well until fully combined.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is well incorporated before adding the next.
- Mix in the vanilla extract, heavy cream, and salt. Continue to mix until smooth and creamy.
- Bake the cheesecake:
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Place the pan in a larger roasting pan and pour hot water around the sides to create a water bath (this prevents cracking).
- Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center jiggles slightly when shaken.
- Cool and chill:
- Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
- Serve:
- Slice and serve plain or with your favorite keto-friendly toppings like fresh berries or whipped cream.
Tips for Success
- Use room-temperature cream cheese for a smooth, lump-free filling.
- A water bath is optional but highly recommended for even cooking and avoiding cracks.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze slices individually for longer storage.
Enjoy your creamy, indulgent keto treat! 🍰
