Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Crust
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a bowl, mix almond flour, melted butter, sweetener, and vanilla extract. Stir until everything is combined.
Press the mixture into the bottom of a lined springform pan. Make sure it is flat and even.
Bake for 8–10 minutes until lightly golden. Let it cool completely.
Tip: Do not skip cooling. A hot crust can affect the cheesecake filling.
Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Make sure there are no lumps.
Add powdered sweetener and mix again.
Add eggs one at a time. Mix gently after each egg.
Pour in heavy cream and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Do not overmix. Too much mixing can cause cracks later.
Step 3: Bake the Cheesecake
Pour the filling over the cooled crust.
Tap the pan gently to remove air bubbles.
Bake at 325°F (160°C) for about 45–55 minutes. The center should still slightly jiggle.
Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly open for 30 minutes.
Then remove and let it cool completely at room temperature.
After that, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
This chilling time helps your Keto Blueberry Cheesecake become firm and creamy.
Step 4: Prepare the Blueberry Topping
In a small saucepan, add blueberries, water, sweetener, and lemon juice.
Cook on low heat for 5–7 minutes until the blueberries soften and release juice.
Let the mixture cool completely.
Spread it gently over the chilled cheesecake before serving.
