Sugar-Free Lemon Cheesecake
A creamy and refreshing cheesecake made without sugar, with a tangy lemon flavor and a buttery crust.
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour for the crust
- 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut optional

Instructions

- In a bowl, mix the almond flour, shredded coconut, and melted butter until well combined. Press this mixture into the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
- Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove it from the oven and set it aside to cool.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and Greek yogurt until smooth. Add erythritol, eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Pour the filling over the cooled crust and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is set and slightly firm.
- Let the cheesecake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before refrigerating it for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Before serving, garnish with extra lemon zest or thin lemon slices.
