Low carb cheesecake

I love cheesecake. I had to have some...so I combined different recipes and came up with this:

Cake Ingredients:

  • 3 packages (1 and 1/2 lbs) cream cheese (room temperature)
  • 4 eggs (preferably room temperature)
  • 3/4 Tablespoon vanilla
  • 1/2 Tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 and 1/3 cups of Stevia
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
Crust Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup of hazelnuts
  • 1/2 cup of sliced almonds
  • 2 Tablespoon melted butter
  • 2 Tablespoons of Stevia

Crust Preparation:

  • Heat oven to 375 F
  • Grind nuts in a magic bullet until they are dust
  • Combine melted butter, and nuts - spread on the bottom of a pie pan
  • Bake for 8 to 10 minutes

Cake Preparation:


    • Raise oven heat to 400 F
    • Put cream cheese in mixing bowl, and beat until fluffy. 
    • Add other ingredients, scraping the bowl and beaters each time to fully incorporating each ingredient. 
    • When all ingredients are combined, scrape one more time, beat one more minute, and pour mixture into pan over crust.
    • After putting the cheesecake in the oven at 400 F, turn the oven down to 200 F. 
    • Bake for 60 to 90 minutes
    • When the cake is firm to touch but slightly soft in the center, or the center reaches 155 F, remove from oven.
