Low Carb Cheesecake, Almond Flour Crust, Grain Free, Gluten Free - Duration: 9:33.
Hello and welcome to another episode of
HomeMade Healthy. My name is Rob and I'm
your host. And i'm working with my lovely
wife Lisa. Darling what are we making for
friends today?
Lisa - Today we are making
low-carb, gluten free cheesecake. This is
going to be so delicious.
If you read the Wheat belly book by William
Davis, he talks about having cheesecake
for breakfast.
This is the cheesecake you can have for
breakfast. And it's super helpful when
you're transitioning from a standard
American diet. Something that's creamy
and sweet.
It's not paleo friendly because of the
dairy. But it is delicious. If you
tolerate dairy this is a wonderful
wonderful treat. So first we're going to
make the crust. You need a springform
pan. If you don't have a springform pan,
not the end of the world. You can use a
baking dish. A 13 by 9 baking dish.
Rob - This just makes it you do to get out?
Lisa - Yeah and it's nice presentation.
Rob - Available on Amazon.
Lisa - Yes. So we're going to use
coconut spray to make sure we don't have
it stick. I got this one at Aldi though
you can get it at, you know, your local
grocery store or Trader Joe's. Be generous we
don't want it to stick. Okay next we're
going to mix up our crust.
We have two and a quarter cups of almond
flour.
This is blanched almond flour which
means the skins not on it. You can use
the one with skin. It gives it another layer
of flavor. It's up to you. We add two
packets of stevia-Truvia. And this is
erythritol with stevia extract. You want to
make sure that you are careful reading
packages. If it has maltodextrose in it
that's actually a real sugar. You want to
stay away from that. So
erythritol and stevia extract is excellent.
So two packets and then 3 tablespoons of
melted butter. And this is just really
easy. And we're going to use this to
make our crust.
Now you want to preheat the oven to 400
for the crust. We're actually gonna have
the oven at a couple of different
temperatures for this recipe. So you just
mix it until it's kind of crumbly. It's going
to take a few minutes.
Don't be shy. Mixing it together.
And it's got the sweetener in there and
we just put it in the oven to brown up a
little bit.
Rob - And cheesecake is one of
those classic desserts that's so creamy
and so rich that it really works well
with low carb. Because cheesecake is
all about the creaminess and less about
the sweetness.
Lisa - So we're just going to
pour into the pan and push it down flat
and then we're going to bake it.
You want to do this?
Rob - Yes. Let start pushing this down.
Lisa - Alright we've got him pushing that down.
So this is gonna go in the oven and
then when it comes out, we'll just wait until
it browns a little bit. In the meantime
we're going to make the filling. Which is
amazing delicious and easy. These recipes are
you know pretty easy for people to make.
So don't feel intimidated.
Rob - You can start mixing that up while I start this.
Lisa - So three bricks of room temperature
cream cheese. Full fat.
Rob - Full fat.
Lisa - I guess
if you're trying to worry about calories
maybe low fat. We always use the
full fat because it's delicious creamy and wonderful.
Maybe if i get this apart. And i'm going
to use the mixer for this because doing
it by hand is just too much.
Definitely.
Rob - Do I need to put this up on the
sides any?
Lisa - You're fine.
I guess I didn't plan very well.
I put that on the other side of you.
Rob - Oh that's alright.
Lisa - So we're going to mix
three bricks of cream cheese and four
eggs. Also if the eggs are at room
temperature that also helps with mixing.
To get it mixed faster. We're going to use
equivalent of three quarters of a cup of
sugar and so with this sweetener that
I'm using today that is 18 packets.
Rob - How does that look? Should I do a little more?
Lisa - Perfect.
Rob - That's what it's gonna look like.
We're gonna put that in the oven.
Lisa - Yep. And it's set at 400. So he's going to put
that in the oven for us. Let me get my
last cream cheese. Now this one takes
a while to cook. So this isn't going to be
a good last-minute desert. You're going
to have to plan for this one. So we've
got to get that part browned and...
Rob - I'll open that.
Oh you've got it.
Lisa - You going to put that in for
me. Okay, so we're going to do four eggs.
And like I said room temperature is better.
If they're in the fridge it's fine but
the cream cheese, it will be very hard to
mix if you don't do it with it with at room
temperature. And if you're like me and
you forget to be stuff ahead of
time, if you have a toaster oven you can
have it in the metal just in the
toaster oven to soften them which is my
little cheat that like.
Rob - It goes in there.
Lisa - Oh I dropped my towel.
Rob - Perfect. So that's going
to go on the mixture right?
Lisa - Yep. That's going to go in the mixer
along with a tablespoon of vanilla.
The package with the stevia sweeter.
The juice of a Lemon. And 1/4 cup of
sour cream. This is going to be so good.
Your gonna love it. So transitioning
is a lot easier when you have amazing
treats like this.
Rob - Yep.
Lisa - So we're going to put it on the mixer.
Rob - Alright we're gonna let this mix
to be right back.
Okay. We're back. The mixing is done so
what's next darling.
Lisa - Okay so it's been about ten minutes so we
need to take the crust out of the oven
and turn the oven down. iIm having
challenges with gravity today. I'm telling ya.
Just leave that on the stove cool and we
will turn this down to 300. Alright and
that will be cooling down. While that's
cooling down a little bit. Ok so we mix this
until it's nice and incorporated and
smooth and yummy and we're just going to
pour that right into the crust. And bring
that over to me.
Rob - Yeah. Let's bring that over.
Lisa - And if you want to make it extra
festive you can actually put sliced
strawberries on the top. If you're doing
this for a date night or a treat for
just to add a little bit more color and
flavor strawberries, actually all the
berries, are pretty low carb. And it
can make it pretty if you added the sliced
strawberries before you put it in the oven.
Rob -Right the strawberries without all
the sugar sauce that they try to drown them in?
Lisa - Or you could also mix some strawberries
in a pan with a couple of packets of stevia
and make a sauce reduction. A little
reduction. Ya cook that down a little bit.
That'd be fun. Just smooth it out and it's going
to go in the oven. 300 degrees. It's going to
cook for about an hour. So check it at about
45 minutes. Don't touch this again after it
comes out. Remember you don't want to
burn your hand. Alright it's going to go in
the oven 300 degrees.
Rob - That already smells delicious.
we'll be right back and i'll show you
what it looks like after it's done.
Okay we're back.
Lisa - Okay so we let the cheesecake bake
in the oven at 300 degrees for a total
of about 60 minutes.
It actually looks fantastic. Rob's gonna
get the sides pulled apart so that it
doesn't stick. And it looks pretty. Like I
said this is great for dinner parties,
barbecues. Super fun and easy. So you just
take a knife around the perimeter open
it up and voilà!
Wow it's so beautiful. Alright.
So let's cut a piece. And oh it's going to be so yummy.
I can't wait to have a bite.
Rob - Alright!
Lisa - Alright you do the first bite babe.
Rob - First bite. Alright first bite.
Lisa - It's all you.
Rob - This is a classic at our house.
It's so perfect. So perfect because with
cheesecake you want creaminess and a
little bit of sweetness. And it comes
together
amazingly. It's a greatly carb transition
food. Moving off
of the sugars. Moving off of the
standard American diet.
This is great. Just great share with your
friends. Share with everybody. With your
family.
Lisa - That's right. So we want to say thank you
so much for watching. We hope you enjoyed.
