Ingredients
Scale
- 24 oz (680g) cream cheese, softened
- 8 oz (225g) unsweetened chocolate, melted
- 1 ¾ cups (175g/6.2 oz) blanched almond flour
- 1 ¼ cups (150g/5.3 oz) powdered monk fruit allulose blend
- ⅓ cup (75g/2.6 oz) unsalted butter, melted
- 3 tbsps (18g/0.6 oz) Dutch-processed cocoa powder
- 3 tbsps (36g/1.3 oz) powdered monk fruit allulose blend
- 2 tsps vanilla extract
Instructions
- Crust Preparation: Blend almond flour, cocoa powder, and sweetener in a mixing bowl, ensuring uniform distribution of dry ingredients.
- Binding Process: Melt butter with vanilla extract, then integrate into dry mixture until a cohesive, slightly crumbly texture forms.
- Pan Setup: Line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper, firmly pressing the crust mixture into an even, compact layer across the bottom.
- Chocolate Melting: Gently melt unsweetened chocolate using a microwave or double boiler, allowing it to cool to a warm temperature while stirring periodically.
- Filling Creation: Whip cream cheese until smooth, gradually blending in powdered sweetener and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until light and airy.
- Chocolate Integration: Gradually fold warm chocolate into cream cheese mixture, beating continuously to create a velvety, homogeneous filling.
- Assembly and Chilling: Pour the chocolate cheesecake filling over the prepared crust, smoothing the surface with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until completely set and firm.
Notes
- Crust Consistency Check: Ensure the mixture is just moist enough to hold together when pressed, but not overly wet – this guarantees a perfect crumbly base.
- Chocolate Melting Mastery: Cool melted chocolate to prevent curdling when mixing with cream cheese, maintaining a silky smooth texture.
- Cream Cheese Technique: Bring cream cheese to room temperature before whipping to eliminate lumps and create a ultra-creamy filling.
- Chilling Critical: Allow minimum 2 hours refrigeration time, preferably overnight, for the cheesecake to fully set and develop optimal flavor depth.
