Method
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, melted butter, monk fruit sweetener, and vanilla extract until the mixture forms a slightly crumbly dough.
- Press the crust evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan and bake for about 10 minutes, until lightly golden. Let it cool for at least 10 minutes.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered monk fruit sweetener at low to medium speed until smooth and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing just until incorporated. Then stir in the lemon juice and vanilla extract, keeping the mixer at low to medium speed.
- Pour the cream cheese filling over the cooled crust and smooth the surface with a spatula for an even top.
- Bake the cheesecake for 45-55 minutes, until the center is mostly set but still slightly jiggly. If desired, use a water bath to prevent cracks.
- Allow the cheesecake to cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until fully set.
- To make the strawberry sauce, combine chopped strawberries, jam, and lemon juice in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Simmer for about 10 minutes, mashing lightly until the berries break down.
- Add halved strawberries to the sauce and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- Run a knife around the pan edges and remove the springform sides. Spoon most of the strawberry sauce over the cheesecake and arrange the halved berries on top. Serve with any remaining sauce.
