Directions

To make the crust:

Step 1

Line a 7-inch springform pan with parchment paper. Grease parchment paper with butter, ghee, or your favorite cooking spray.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, sweetener, and salt. Add melted butter and stir well to combine.

Step 3

Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Use a flat bottomed glass to even it out, then set pan aside.

To make the filling:

Step 1

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth, then beat in sweetener, lemon juice, lemon zest, and lemon extract. Scrape down sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula to make sure you get all the lumps.

Step 2

Beat in eggs one at a time, scraping down bowl and beaters after each addition. Beat in heavy whipping cream until well combined. Pour mixture over the crust and spread to the edges of the pan.

Step 3

Wrap the bottom of the springform pan tightly in a large piece of foil. Place a paper towel over the top of the springform pan (not touching the cheesecake), then wrap foil around the top as well. Your whole pan should be mostly covered in foil to keep out excess moisture.

Step 4

Place the rack that came with your Instant Pot or pressure cooker into the bottom of the pot. Pour a cup of water into the bottom. Carefully lower wrapped cheesecake pan onto rack.

Step 5

Close the lid and set Instant Pot to manual mode for 35 minutes on high. Once cooking time is complete, let the pressure to release naturally (do not vent it).

Step 6

Lift out cheesecake and let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for 3 or 4 hours or overnight. Garnish with lightly sweetened whipped cream and lemon slices if desired.

Farm Team Tips:

For a quick and easy garnish, just pipe or dollop some fresh whipped cream around the top egde of the cooled cheesecake, and sprinkle lemon zest over the surface to taste!

This was delicious! Creamy! Easy to prepare! Crust: toasted the pie crust: 350* F ~7-8 min. Added lemon zest of one lemon (used some to top) Instead of using foil on the outside of the springform pan, used an oven bag. There was very little condensation on cheesecake, though there was a few Ts of water at the bottom of the bag, which was to be expected. Froze and thawed well (sliced individually, separated with parchment paper). Next, to find a keto version of turtle cheesecake!

I didn't have a spring pan this size, but I did use the 7" baking dish for cakes that InstantPot provides and it worked well. Wrangling the foil and paper towel around it took some finesse, but it was worth it!

Thanks for asking, Kathy! We've only tested this recipe in an Instant Pot, so unfortunately we can't confirm how this recipe would turn out in a conventional oven. There are a few things to look out for: you'll want to play around with the cook time - it might end up needing a bit longer in the oven. If you have another favorite cheesecake recipe that uses a conventional oven, we recommend referencing that for baking time and temperature (most recipes recommend cooking cheesecake at 350F). We hope this helps!

My Holy grail of cheesecake recipes. Comes out perfectly. I couldn’t wait and I had some at room temp shortly after removing it from the instant pot and it was light and mouse-like. The next day after spending the night in the fridge it was dense and creamy like traditional cheesecake. I currently have one in the pot right now, I didn’t have lemon so I used coconut rum, coconut extract and unsweetened coconut instead, I’ll let you know...

Can I substitute granulated keto sweetener instead if powdered? If I can find powdered monkfruit or sukrin, that would be fine, but I don't like the cool minty taste of erithyritol. So if no powdered option, would granulated monkfruit work instead, possibly?

Hi Cat! We haven't tried this substitution ourselves, but you're most welcome to experiment. Keep in mind that it will change the texture as the granulated may not fully dissolve and make the crust extra crumble (it could not hold together) and could make the filling grainy if the sugar doesn't fully dissolve. This recipe may yield better results with this substitution: https://www.peteandgerrys.com/egg-recipes/lemon-pudding-cakes We look forward to hearing how it turns out!

***** recipe. I highly recommend. The texture verges on chiffon. The flavor is amazing. I did not have the lemon extract, but my lemons where super flavorful and tart so I substituted 1tsp of extra lemon juice for the extract. Also I used the granular erythritol since this is what I had on hand. It gave the crust a little crispy crunch for texture contrast. Enjoy

OMG this is soooooo good. It is the perfect amount of lemon and the texture is so light and creamy. I made it for my husband who loves lemon and he said it was the most delicious dessert he’s ever had, and he’s not a dessert person. The only change I would make is to double the amount of crust, it is fairly thin and I tend to like a thicker crust on my cheese cakes.

Holy cats, this is a great cheesecake. I followed in the footsteps of previous reviewer, Deb, and used key limes instead of lemons. Otherwise, I made no changes to the recipe and the result was tart and creamy and heavenly. Oh, wait. I made one other change. I toasted the almond flour in a dry skillet until it was light golden brown to give it a little flavor boost before making the crust. This will be a staple in my house from now on.

This was my maiden voyage with a cheesecake made in my InstaPot. I am also a big fan of Key Lime anything, really! I substituted Key Lime juice for the lemon, adding some lime zest. Snuggled it all up secure in the paper towel and foil. This came out absolutely fabulous! If I had been blind-tasting this without knowing it was low-carb, I'd never would have guessed. I ate the ENTIRE cheesecake, by myself, over a few days. Yes, I did, and I'd do it again. You guys NAILED IT! Thanks so much.

I added 1/4 cup coconut flakes to the crust and replaced the lemon with lime. I made a mango mousse with 1/4 cup mango puree, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1 tbsp swerve and 1/2 tsp xanthan gum. Whip cream to soft peaks, add other ingredients and whip until thickened, spread mango mousse on top of the cheesecake after cooled to room temp. This is a pretty darn good copy cat of my favorite mango key lime cheesecake from the cheesecake factory. Thanks for the recipe!!!!

I thought the lemon extract was too much; someone said they wanted it even tangier , but wow. No. We couldn’t have taken it any tangier. Maybe it is the brand of lemon extract I used? I don’t know. Also, I have a different brand of pressure pot, a “Power Cooker.” I took it up to the highest pressure (80) and had to cook it through two 30 minutes cycles. Maybe the difference is in the brands of pots? Power Cooker doesn’t have “high.” I also read someone added pecans to the crust and I think I would like that better too, and I might try toasting the crust for 10 minutes before adding the cheesecake mixture next time. All in all a good cheesecake. Thanks!

Hi Dianne! We appreciate the feedback. This recipe certainly has some tang to it--that's one of the reasons we love it so much--but for a more mellow spin on this, you could reduce or eliminate the lemon extract and just let the fresh lemon juice and zest do the work. Love the idea of modifying the crust as well! The great thing about recipes is, once you get them down, you can start making modifications until you find just the right recipe for you. You could be right about your Power Cooker having a different cook pressure than the Instant Pot used to develop this recipe. We're glad a second cycle did the trick and you were still able to enjoy. We hope to hear how your next one comes out!

Thanks! I was shocked at the difference in the lemon flavor after the cheesecake sat overnight! It really mellowed! (We rushed it in the freezer for a couple of hours because it was our anniversary).

I haven't tasted mine yet because it's still cooking, but it came out of the Instant Pot with a souffle-like wobble. I do not have high hopes.

Great question, Joan! While you could try to take it off when hot, the cheesecake is pretty delicate until it cools a bit, so we would recommend waiting until your cheesecake is down to room temperature or a little warmer to remove all the wrappings and take a peak at your beautiful cheesecake!

Because this recipe was meant for an pressure cooker (which cooks at a higher pressure for less time), you'll want to play around with the cook time - it might end up needing a bit longer in the oven. If you have another favorite cheesecake recipe that uses a conventional oven, we recommend referencing that for baking time and temperature (most recipes recommend cooking cheesecake at 350F). Be sure to keep a close eye on the cheesecake and pop it out of the oven when the edges are just set and the center is still a bit jiggly. Let us know how it turns out!

Hi! I’m excited to try this recipe but I’m still learning a lot about Keto baking! Is there anything else I can use instead of the lemon extract and the spring form pan? I have neither. Thank you!

Hi Melody! You can try using a regular round 7" baking pan, but the cheesecake will stick and you may not be able to remove it as nicely as in a springform pan, which is specially made for cheesecakes. As for the lemon extract, we think you could try adding 2 extra teaspoons of lemon zest to substitute. We have a similar recipe that is Keto friendly as well which may be a little more forgiving to not having a springform pan. You can find it here: https://www.peteandgerrys.com/egg-recipes/lemon-pudding-cakes As always, we're always interested in hearing what works for our baking friends, so if you try the recipe out and find some modifications that work for you, we'd love to hear about it. Thanks!

If you have food grade lemon essential oil you can use that to.

I've made this twice in less than a week ! My family ate the first one, the second I will take to share with a group of women at a meeting tomorrow. I don't think anyone will guess this is Keto !!!! It's delicious, beautiful, and pretty easy to make.

So I followed the instructions exactly, and my crust was completely undercooked, soggy, and my cheesecake crumbly and underdone.

Could I use a regular pressure cooker?

That's a great question, Patricia. We've only tested this recipe with a 7-inch pan, and since cheesecake recipes can be a bit tricky, we can't say exactly what amount of time you would use for a larger pan with and an additional half of the batter and crust. We would recommend starting with an additional 10 minutes of cook time and going from there. Unfortunately, in this case, the cake shouldn't be recooked after the cooling and pressure release stage, so if it turns out to be a bit undercooked, you may just have to work with that. We're sorry that we don't have a better answer or more specific instructions for your variation, but let us know if you give it a try and find something that works for you!

Hi Patricia! Do you mean another brand of electric pressure cooker or the old-fashioned on-the-stove pressure cooker? Yes, if it's another brand of electric. I have no idea if it's on the stove top.

I have made this twice as per the recipe and both times it was fabulous. Do you think it would work as is with Key Lime Juice or should I increase the sweetener?

We're thrilled that you enjoyed the cheesecake both times, Elaine! Although lime juice is a bit more acidic than lemon, using key lime juice in the recipe shouldn't really require any changes to the amount of sweetener you use. It may be worth testing the batter before you bake it, just to ensure that it's too your liking. From there, you can always adjust. Let us know how it turns out!

Thanks for your question, Wanda! Some stevia-based sweeteners do have erythritol in them, but others use different artificial sweeteners and often stevia products are granular as opposed to powdered. The sweetness level and textural differences might give you are hard time with this particular recipe as we don’t know of anyone trying it with Stevia, but you are more than welcome to give it a shot and let us know how it goes!

Fantastic question, Kristine. We've only tested this recipe with a 7-inch pan, and since cheesecake can be a bit finicky, we can't say for sure what the cook time would be for a larger pan with and an additional half of the batter and crust. Your best bet is to start with an additional 10 minutes of cook time. Unfortunately, this is one of those cases where the cake shouldn't be recooked after the cooling and pressure release stage, so if it ends up being a bit undercooked, you may be in a bind. We're sorry that we don't have a better answer for you, but let us know if you decide to test it out!

Hi Joan, you can definitely bake this in a conventional oven, but you'll want to increase the cook time because the Instant Pot is designed to cook at a higher pressure for a shorter length of time. If you have another favorite cheesecake recipe that uses a conventional oven, we recommend referencing that for baking time and temperature. We'd recommend keeping the oven at 350F or lower, and you'll definitely want to keep a close eye on the cheesecake and pop it out of the oven when the edges are just set and the center is still a bit jiggly. We hope this helps!

Hi Carole, this recipe is meant to be low-carb, but if you don't follow a low-carb diet and are fine with regular sugar, we'd recommend substituting with regular granulated sugar. If you're looking for another sugar substitute, Bon Appetit has a great post that might be of use: https://www.bonappetit.com/test-kitchen/ingredients/article/baking-with-sugar-alternatives.

Hi Jackie, you may end up with some extra cheesecake filling if you decide to go with a smaller pan. To avoid this, you could try eliminating 1/4th of each ingredient - or, to make it easier, you can simply halve the recipe for a slightly smaller cheesecake.
