Ingredients & Their Roles

For the Crust

• 1 ½ cups almond flour – Low-carb, gluten-free, and forms the base of the crust.
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut flakes (optional) – Adds texture and mild flavor.
• 2 tablespoons melted butter – Helps bind the crust and gives richness.
• 1 tablespoon stevia or monk fruit sweetener – Sweetens naturally without sugar.

For the Creamy Filling

• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened – Creates the velvety, creamy base.
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream – Makes the filling light and smooth.
• 2 tablespoons stevia or monk fruit sweetener – Naturally sweetens the filling.
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract – Adds depth and aroma.
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional) – Adds a bright, refreshing flavor.
• ½ cup sugar-free fruit preserves or fresh berries (optional) – For topping or layering.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flakes (optional), melted butter, and sweetener.
Mix until the texture resembles moist sand and holds together when pressed.

Step 2: Press the Crust Into the Pan

Press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan or similar dish.
Smooth it with the back of a spoon for an even, compact layer. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.

Step 3: Prepare the Creamy Filling

In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until completely smooth.
Gradually add the heavy whipping cream while mixing, and continue beating until the mixture becomes
fluffy and light. Add the sweetener, vanilla, and lemon zest (if using). Mix until fully combined.

Step 4: Assemble the Cake

Pour the creamy filling over the chilled crust. Spread evenly with a spatula.
If using sugar-free fruit preserves or fresh berries, swirl them gently into the top or add as a topping layer.

Step 5: Chill and Serve

Refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.
For best texture, chill overnight. Slice and serve cold for a smooth, refreshing dessert.

Tips for Best Results

• Ensure the cream cheese is softened for a smooth, lump-free filling.
• Use cold heavy cream to help the mixture whip properly.
• Chill long enough for firm slices.
• Add toppings like crushed nuts, berries, or sugar-free chocolate shavings.

Storage

Keep the cake refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 4–5 days.
It can also be frozen for 1–2 months; thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
