Yes, it’s gluten-free, sugar-free, and low-carb, but don’t be fooled.
This is the best cheesecake I have ever made, and it was incredibly easy. My husband asked if I could make it again – and we haven’t even eaten halfway through the first one yet!
Gluten and sugar-free cheesecake
Crust:
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 3 tbsp Erythritol
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Dash of cinnamon
Combine and press into the bottom on a 9-inch spring form pan (lined with parchment and oiled). Bake at 350°F for 10-12 minutes. Don’t overbake – just lightly golden. Set aside at least 15 minutes to fully cool.
Cheesecake:
- 32oz softened cream cheese
- 1 1/4 cup powdered Erythritol – must be powdered for the right texture’ apparently (I used less than 1 cup)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Beat the cream cheese and sugar together on low speed until fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then finally the lemon and vanilla.
- Keep using low speed only to beat – this avoids extra air that causes cracks when baking. Pour the filling over the crust and flatten the top.
- Bake at 350°F for 45-55 mins. The center should still jiggle a little. I baked mine with a pan of water in the oven because I was afraid that it would crack, but it came out beautifully smooth.
- Cool in the pan on the counter to room temperature.
- Then in the fridge to fully set, at least 4 hours.
- Ours slices clean and tastes heavenly! I’m sure it’d be great with berries, but I can’t stop eating it just the way it is. Sometimes less is more.

Bree so happy you like it, hope you will be able to try and enjoy it
I was hoping to Pin this one, Esme, but I don’t see a Pinterest button. Then, tried to add it to my “Favorite Recipes” board, but alas. Will you be adding Pinterest?
Sorry. Now I found it. Way past my bedtime.
Glad you found it. Hope you will enjoy it
Janet – Not sure why you are unable to see the Pinterest button. You should find one just below the main pic of the post as well as at the very bottom of the post below the words: Cheesecake, to pick and choose and each one as good as the other and all home tested. Maybe turn off or reboot your device
I am copying this! I am on a low-carb diet and this recipe makes my mouth water!!!!
Gael – Just pin it or return here to the blog, as you will find many other low-carb recipes here as well should you need any others. Hope you will enjoy this one
