Ingredients and Preparation

To create this perfect low-carb cheesecake, you’ll need:

2 cups of raw Brazil nuts 2 teaspoons of brown Sugar Twin About 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter Pinches of cinnamon and salt for the crust 2 pounds of cream cheese at room temperature 5 tablespoons of granular Splenda 5 tablespoons of granular Sugar Twin A bit of fine salt A half cup of sour cream 2 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract 2 teaspoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice 2 large chicken egg yolks 6 large whole chicken eggs

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F and preparing a 9-inch pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper to prevent the cheesecake from sticking. This simple step is crucial to keep your cheesecake intact.

Crust Preparation

Next, roast the Brazil nuts for about 15 minutes, tossing them in melted butter occasionally. Once done, transfer the nuts to a food processor to chop them finely. Combine the nuts with brown Sugar Twin, cinnamon, and salt, then press them evenly into the prepared pan. Place it in the fridge to set.

Filling Preparation and Baking

While the crust is setting, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the cream cheese mixture, along with the remaining ingredients (except for the yolks and whole eggs), until fully incorporated. Add the egg yolks and whole eggs gradually, beating well after each addition to ensure a smooth texture. Slowly pour this mixture over the crust, bake at 400°F for 10 minutes, then reduce to 350°F and bake for another 2 hours. This low-carb cheesecake is a winner!
