Crust Ingredients

1 cup Almond flour, super fine ground
1/2 cup Butter, softened
1/4 cup Monk fruit sweetener other options: Swerve, Stevia, granulated Splenda
1/2 cup Pecans, finely chopped

8 oz Cream cheese, softened

1 Egg
1 tbsp Almond milk

Optional Sugar Free Strawberry Preserves Topping

1/2 cup Strawberry preserves, sugar free (sweetened with Splenda)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F. Spray a standard pie plate (or 9" square pan) with non-stick spray. Place softened butter and monk fruit in mixing bowl and beat with a mixer until smooth.
Add almond flour and chopped pecans and stir with a spoon until well blended.
Press into the bottom of the pie plate or pan. Bake 15-20 minutes or until no longer jiggly and lightly browned. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
While the crust is cooling, add the softened cream cheese, monk fruit, egg, and almond milk to a bowl. Beat with a mixer for 3 minutes until creamy and smooth.
Spread on top of the crust.
Heat the strawberry preserves in the microwave for about 20-25 seconds or until smooth enough to spread. Stir and spread on top of the cheesecake, almost to the ends - leave about 1-inch of cheesecake showing for the edge.
Bake about 20 minutes or until the filling is set. Refrigerate for a couple of hours before slicing and eating.

Notes

Lower the carb count by 50% by leaving out the sugar-free strawberry preserves topping. 1) Use your favorite low carb/keto sweetener. (2) Experiment with different flavors of sugar-free preserves! Blackberry, raspberry, blueberry, etc. Be sure to check the nutritional information. (3) You can skip the preserves altogether and eat the cheesecake plain; or top with a fresh strawberry or couple of blueberries.
