Instructions

1.
Preheat an oven to 350 F. To make the crust: In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, ground flaxseed, kosher salt, and 4 tbsp powdered sweetener together until mixed well.
2.
Melt the butter in a small bowl in the microwave on high for 30 seconds or until melted. Add the butter to the crust mixture and stir well with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until crumbly and the butter is well distributed.
3.
Prepare an 8\
4.
Make the filling: Make sure all ingredients are room temperature. While the crust is baking, take room temperature cream cheese and place it in the bottom of a stand mixer bowl (if you don’t have a stand mixer you can do this with a hand mixer). Add 2 cups of the powdered sweetener. Mix well until creamy and blended.
5.
Then add the eggs one at a time, making sure the egg is fully incorporated with each addition. This will create an emulsion that will result in a very light and airy cheesecake. Do not rush this step.
6.
Once the eggs are all incorporated, add the sour cream and vanilla. Mix until just combined. The resulting batter should look very smooth, creamy, and lush.
7.
Wrap the cheesecake mold in tin foil that covers the bottom of the pan and up the sides. This will prevent any leakage.
8.
Pour the batter into the baked crust using a rubber spatula to scrape any extra off the sides of the bowl. Spread the top smooth with the rubber spatula. Wrap the bottom of the springform pan with tinfoil. This will prevent any water from getting inside the cheesecake. Place the cheesecake filled and tin-foil wrapped springform pan in a 9\
9.
Bake the cheesecake at 350 F for 80 minutes or so until the outside of the cheesecake is cooked but the center still jiggles. You are looking for the entire cheesecake to jiggle together as one mass. The very center of the cheesecake will still be loose, however, and this is what you want. If the outside and the center move separately, most likely it needs more time to bake. Once baked, turn the oven off and crack the door of the oven. Allow the cheesecake to cool for one hour in the oven. Once one hour has elapsed, place the cheesecake into the fridge to cool overnight. Most likely it will only take 4-6 hours to chill the cheesecake completely, but overnight is the safest option.
10.
Make the strawberry sauce: Combine the fresh, quartered strawberries with green leaves removed into a medium-sized saucepan with cup powdered sweetener, arrowroot powder, a nice pinch of kosher salt and the water.
11.
Bring to a simmer for 5 minutes. The strawberries will have released their juices and the arrowroot will have turned from cloudy water at the bottom of the pan to a bright, clear, and thickened glaze. Place the strawberry sauce in the fridge to chill overnight as well.
12.
Once the cheesecake is chilled completely, remove it from the pan. The sturdy crust will be helpful in removing the bottom part of the pan off. Place a spatula underneath the cheesecake and gently lift it from a couple of angles and then slide the entire cheesecake to a board, plate or cake stand.
13.
Top with the strawberry sauce, slice, and serve chilled.
