Keto Cookie Dough Cheesecake
This is one of the creamiest and dreamiest keto cheesecakes to date. The lightly sweetened cheesecake filling is made with rich cream cheese, heavy cream and sour cream to lighten it. It is then poured over a chocolate chip cookie dough crust. The whole cheesecake is chilled and then coated with chocolate ganache layer.
How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat an oven to 350 F. Prepare the crust by melting the butter and combining it with the almond flour, xanthan gum, baking soda, kosher salt, ½ cup sweetener, vanilla extract and one egg. Mix to combine well.
Step 2
Add ½ cup sugar free chocolate chips and mix well.
Step 3
Press into the bottom of an 8 ½” springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove and set aside while you prepare the cheesecake filling.
Step 4
Prepare the cheesecake filling by creaming room temperature cream cheese with the additional sweetener, vanilla, sour cream and ¼ cup heavy cream.
Step 5
Mix well then add the two eggs.
Step 6
Pour over the still warm cookie dough crust. This will allow the cookie dough crust to come up the sides of the pan when baking. Place a 9” x 13” pan in the oven filled with ½” of water. Then bake the cheesecake for 40-45 minutes until the center is still slightly jiggly.
Step 7
Allow to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes and then chill in the refrigerator completely.
Step 8
Once the cheesecake is chilled, prepare the ganache by combining ⅓ cup sugar free chocolate chips and ¼ cup heavy cream in a microwave safe bowl. Heat on high for 30 seconds and stir the cream and chocolate until it comes together. Pour over the cheesecake and spread evenly. Chill again until firm. Cut cheesecake using a hot knife which has been placed under hot water and then dried with a towel to help make nice, even cuts. Serve chilled!
