Prep Time: 15 minutes Total Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
For the Crust:
- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- ⅓ cup melted salted butter
- ¼ cup Joy Filled Eats Sweetener (or see alternatives in recipe notes)
- 3 tbsp almond butter
For the Filling:
- 2 cups whole milk ricotta cheese
- 4 oz softened cream cheese
- ½ cup Joy Filled Eats Sweetener (or see alternatives in recipe notes)
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- 2 teaspoons gelatin
- 8 oz heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Stir the ingredients for the crust until smooth. Ensure that the almond butter is thoroughly incorporated. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
- Bloom the gelatin by sprinkling it on top of 2 tablespoons of cold water. Let it sit for 5 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of hot water and stir until the gelatin is dissolved.
- In the same bowl used for the crust, mix the ricotta, cream cheese, sweetener, cinnamon, and vanilla with an electric mixer until smooth. Blend in the bloomed gelatin.
- In another bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the cream until stiff peaks form.
- Fold ⅓ of the whipped cream into the cheesecake batter. Gently fold in the rest. Fold in the chocolate chips. Pour the mixture on top of the prepared crust.
- Refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours until it firms up a little. It will have a soft mousse-like texture.
Notes:
- Nutrition: The nutrition facts are for one serving, and this recipe has 12 servings. There are 4.6 NET carbs per serving.
- Texture: The texture of the cheesecake will be similar to mousse and should be soft. For a firmer cheesecake, do not fold in the whipped cream; serve it on top instead.
Notes on Sweeteners:
I use my own blend of xylitol, erythritol, and stevia in my recipes, which is twice as sweet as sugar. It is comparable to Trim Healthy Mama Gentle Sweet and Truvia.
- To substitute with Swerve or Lakanto Monk Fruit, use 1.5 times the amount of sweetener called for.
- To substitute with Pyure or Trim Healthy Mama Super Sweet, use half the amount of sweetener called for.
Substitutions will work in most recipes but may not work in candies, such as caramel.
