Description
Creamy and velvety keto green matcha cheesecake with an almond flour crust and a rich, sugar-free matcha-flavored filling. This low-carb dessert is perfect for those following a ketogenic or diabetic-friendly lifestyle.
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups almond flour
1/4 cup melted butter
2 tablespoons granulated keto sweetener (erythritol, monk fruit, or allulose)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
16 oz cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup powdered keto sweetener
3 large eggs
1/2 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
2 teaspoons matcha green tea powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper and lightly grease the sides.
- In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, melted butter, sweetener, and vanilla extract. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- Bake the crust for 8–10 minutes, then remove and let it cool.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sweetener until smooth and creamy.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Blend in sour cream, vanilla extract, salt, and matcha powder until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Pour the filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes, until the edges are set and the center slightly jiggles.
- Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let the cheesecake rest inside for 1 hour.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to fully set.
- Serve chilled, optionally topped with whipped cream and a dusting of matcha powder.
Notes
Use culinary-grade matcha for best flavor and color.
Let cheesecake cool gradually to prevent cracking.
Dairy-free alternatives like plant-based cream cheese and coconut cream can be used.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze individual slices.
Can be made crustless or with nut-based crust alternatives like pecans.
