Directions

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a 7-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
In a bowl, mix almond flour, melted coconut oil, erythritol, and cinnamon until well combined.
Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan and bake for 10 minutes. Remove and let cool.

Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling

In a large bowl, beat the Greek yogurt, cream cheese, and erythritol until smooth.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed to avoid overbeating.
Stir in vanilla extract, lemon juice, and cornstarch until fully incorporated.

Step 3: Bake the Cheesecake

Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust.
Place the springform pan in a larger baking dish and pour hot water around it to create a water bath.
Bake for 50 minutes, or until the center is slightly jiggly but set.
Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour.

Step 4: Chill and Serve

Transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Top with fresh berries and a drizzle of honey (optional), slice, serve, and enjoy!
