Ingredients 

Crust

Filling

Instructions

  • Line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper and grease the sides, then set aside. Preheat your oven to 325°F.
  • To make the crust, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, sweetener, and shredded coconut. Add the butter and vanilla extract, then mix until crumbly.
  • Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared springform pan. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove from the oven to cool.
  • Turn the oven temperature down to 300°F.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the cream cheese and sweetener. Beat with a hand mixer until smooth and slightly fluffy.
  • Add the vanilla extract and one egg, then beat again until the egg is incorporated. Add the rest of the eggs in the same way.
  • Add the cream, cocoa powder, and melted chocolate, then beat until the mixture is smooth and properly mixed.
  • Pour the filling mixture over the pre-baked crust, then tap on the counter to smooth out the top. Bake for 60 to 70 minutes. The middle should still be slightly jiggly when done.
  • Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool for 20 minutes before removing it from the springform pan.
  • Refrigerate the cheesecake for 2½ hours until it is completely set.

You can substitute Stevia with another low-carb sweetener if you prefer.
Cheesecake can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
