Yield: 6
Serving size: 1/2 cup (125ml)
-
1/2 cup + 3 Tbs. (160g) cream cheese or fromage blanc
-
2 + 2/3 cups (125g) heavy/double cream (>30% fat)
-
1/2 cup + 1 Tbs. (100g) powdered erythritol or xylitol
-
2 tsp. (5g) guar gum OR 1 tsp. (2g) xanthan gum
-
60g egg (1 extra-large or 2 small eggs)
-
2 tsp. (10ml) vanilla bean seeds OR vanilla bean paste OR 1 Tbsp. (15ml) vanilla extract
-
1 Tbsp. (15ml) lemon juice
(Optional: prepare a low-carb crust beforehand)
Preheat the oven to 120°C.
In a stainless-steel bowl, whisk the cream cheese, cream, powdered sweetener and guar gum.
Whisk in the egg, then the vanilla, salt and lemon juice, until the mixture is smooth.
Pour the mixture into the pan and bake for 20–30 minutes. When you tap the pan, the cheesecake should be wobbly in the center and set at the edges. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for 1 hour without opening the oven door.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate before slicing, ideally overnight.
