Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • ¼ cup Allulose or Lakanto Baking Sweetener
  • ¼ cup butter, room temperature
  • Pinch of salt

For the Filling:

  • 32 oz cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • ¾ cup Lakanto Baking Sweetener
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Caramel Sauce:

  • ⅓ cup Allulose

  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp molasses
  • ½ cup toasted pecan pieces

For the Chocolate Sauce:

 

  • ½ cup Lily’s Chocolate Chips
  • ¼ cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  • Make the Crust:

    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, sweetener, and a pinch of salt.
    • Add softened butter and mix until the crust mixture comes together.
    • Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
    • Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the crust is lightly golden. Set aside to cool.
  • Prepare the Filling:

    • In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sour cream together until smooth and creamy.
    • Add Lakanto Baking Sweetener, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well until fully combined and smooth.
    • Pour the cream cheese mixture over the cooled crust.
    • Bake at 325°F (163°C) for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is just set and slightly jiggles.
    • Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour before removing. Let it cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Make the Caramel Sauce:

    • In a small saucepan, combine Allulose, butter, and heavy cream over medium heat. Stir occasionally.
    • Once the butter has melted and the mixture starts to simmer, add salt and molasses, and cook for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens.
    • Remove from heat and stir in the toasted pecan pieces. Let it cool to room temperature.
  • Make the Chocolate Sauce:

    • In a small saucepan, heat the heavy whipping cream over low heat until it starts to simmer.
    • Add the Lily’s Chocolate Chips and stir until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Assemble the Cheesecake:

    • Once the cheesecake has chilled, drizzle the caramel sauce over the top, then add the chocolate sauce in a decorative swirl pattern.
    • Sprinkle the toasted pecans over the cheesecake.

 

  • Serve:

    • Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy this keto-friendly dessert!

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese and sour cream are at room temperature for a smooth filling.
  • You can make the caramel sauce in advance and store it in the fridge for up to a week.
  • If you prefer a stronger caramel flavor, increase the molasses by a small amount.
