- 1For crust: 1.5 cups almond flour, 4 tablespoons melted butter, 2 tablespoons erythritol, pinch of salt
- 216 oz cream cheese, room temperature
- 31 cup sour cream
- 43 large eggs, room temperature
- 5½ cup powdered erythritol
- 61 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 71 tablespoon lemon juice
- 81 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
- 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.

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.

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.

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.
