Ingredients:
For the Sugar Free Jello Cheesecake:
- 2 pkg Sugar Free Jello
- 1 Cup Boiling Water
- 3/4 Cup Cream Cheese (divided)
- 1 1/2 Cup Whipping Cream
For the Keto Cheesecake Crust:
- 1/2 Cup Pecans (ground)
- 1/4 Cup Almond Flour
- 1 Tbsp Sweetener (Powdered Swerve)
- 2 Tsp Butter (melted)
Directions:
-
Start with your food processor, love; ground those pecans until they’re as fine as you can get them. Then, take a frying pan and, over medium heat, brown the pureed pecans with the almond flour. Stir that beautiful mixture continuously until it fills your kitchen with an aromatic allure—around 4 to 5 minutes will do. When it’s just right, remove it from the heat, mix in the sweetener and melted butter, and combine it well.
-
Next, line your springform pan with parchment or wax paper. You can also use good ol’ tin foil or plastic wrap—whatever you’ve got on hand. Now, press that nut mixture into the bottom of the pan, using a bit of waxed paper if it helps to keep your fingers clean. After that, pop the crust into the fridge while we prepare the cheesecake filling.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whip the whipping cream along with 1/4 cup of the cream cheese until you achieve those lovely stiff peaks. In a separate saucepan over high heat, bring your cup of water to a boil. When it’s bubbling, sprinkle in those jello packets and stir until everything dissolves beautifully. Then, in your trusty blender, mix the jello with the remaining 1/2 cup of cream cheese until it’s smooth as silk.
-
Now, slowly fold that smooth jello mixture into the whipped cream, using your mixer to gently combine them. The goal is a lovely, fluffy filling that’ll make your heart sing.
-
Pour that luscious jello cheesecake mixture over the prepared crust and then send it off to the fridge for about an hour while it sets beautifully.
