Chocolate Cheesecake

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and collect all ingredients for the sugar-free chocolate cheesecake recipe crust.

Cheesecake Crust Instructions

• Combine all ingredients in a large bowl.
• Press mixture into a 9-inch springform pan.
• Ensure that the crust mixture lines the pan at least one inch up the sides.
• Bake for 10 minutes.
• Allow to cool completely.
• Lower the oven temperature to 300 degrees.

Cheesecake Filling Instructions

After you set the crust aside to cool, it’s time to make the filling for this rich, sugar-free cheesecake recipe.

• Take the room-temperature cream cheese and use a mixer to beat at medium speed until creamy.
• Mix in the heavy whipping cream and sweetmate stevia Sweetener until combined.
• Add one egg at a time, mixing between each egg.
• Mix in the unsweetened cocoa powder and pure vanilla extract.
• Pour cheesecake filling into the springform pan, over the prepared crust.
• Place the filled springform pan onto a large roasting pan.
• Add approximately one inch of water to the roasting pan.
• Place in the oven and bake at 300 degrees for one hour.
• After one hour the outer edge of the cake will be firm, while the center remains soft. This is exactly how it should be.
• Turn off your oven but don’t remove the sugar-free chocolate cheesecake.
• Let the cheesecake sit in the oven for half an hour.
• After 30 minutes, take the springform pan out of the roasting pan.
• Allow cheesecake to completely cool on a wire rack.
• Cover and place in the fridge for at least eight hours.
• After the cheesecake is chilled in the fridge, remove the sides of the springform pan.
• Top with fresh berries or sugar-free whipped cream.
