Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 325°F. Mix almond flour, melted butter, 2 tablespoons erythritol, and salt until it resembles wet sand. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake 10 minutes until golden and set. Let cool completely.

  2. 2

    Beat cream cheese with a stand mixer on medium speed until completely smooth and fluffy with no lumps — about 3 minutes. This step is crucial; cold or lumpy cream cheese will cause cracks. Add powdered erythritol and beat 2 more minutes.

  3. 3

    Add eggs one at a time, mixing on LOW speed just until incorporated — overmixing after adding eggs incorporates air which causes cracks. Mix in sour cream, vanilla, lemon juice, and lemon zest until just combined. Pour over cooled crust.

  4. 4

    Bake at 325°F for 50–60 minutes until the edges are set but the center 2 inches still wobbles like Jell-O when gently shaken — it will set fully as it cools. Turn off the oven and leave the door cracked for 1 hour. This gradual cooling prevents cracking. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
