Ingredients
Method
- Line the base of an 8 inch (20 cm) round springform pan with baking paper.
- In a large bowl, stir together the almond flour, coconut flour, and ground flaxseed until well combined.
- Add 25 g powdered xylitol and mix again, then pour in the melted butter and stir until the mixture is evenly moistened and holds together when pressed.
- Transfer the crust mixture to the prepared pan and press it firmly into an even layer over the base using the back of a spoon or the bottom of a glass.
- Chill the crust in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes while you prepare the filling.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the mascarpone and Greek yogurt together with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Add 100 g powdered xylitol and the vanilla bean paste to the bowl and beat again until fully combined and silky.
- In a separate bowl, whip the double cream to soft peaks using a hand mixer; it should hold its shape but look smooth, not grainy.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture in 2 to 3 additions, using a spatula and turning the bowl to keep as much air in the filling as possible.
- Spoon the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust and spread it into an even layer, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Tap the pan lightly on the counter a few times to help settle the filling and release any large air bubbles.
- Cover the pan and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, until the cheesecake is firm enough to slice.
- To serve, run a thin knife around the edge of the cheesecake, release the springform ring, slide off the baking paper, and transfer the cheesecake to a serving plate.
- Slice into 12 portions with a sharp knife, wiping the blade between cuts for neat slices.
Notes
- Keep the cheesecake refrigerated and store leftovers covered for up to 4 days.
- For the cleanest slices, chill the cheesecake overnight and slice it straight from the refrigerator.
- You can adjust the sweetness slightly by adding a little extra powdered xylitol to the filling after tasting.
- Use powdered sweetener only; granulated sweetener will make the texture grainy.
- Make sure the mascarpone and yogurt are at room temperature to prevent lumps in the filling.
