How to Make Beachgirl's Basic Low Carb Cheesecake
- Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
- In a mixing bowl, beat together cream cheese and sweetener on low-medium speed until smooth and creamy.
- Add lemon juice, vanilla extract, and sour cream. Mix until fully combined.
- Incorporate eggs and egg yolk one at a time, mixing very gently after each addition. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in blueberries (optional) at this point.
- Pour batter into a greased 9-inch springform pan. (7.5-inch or 8-inch pans can also be used).
- Wrap the springform pan tightly in heavy-duty aluminum foil to create a watertight seal.
- Place the wrapped pan in a larger roasting pan. Pour enough hot water into the roasting pan to come halfway up the sides of the springform pan.
- Bake for 1 hour at 300°F (150°C), then reduce oven temperature to 200°F (93°C) and bake for another hour.
- Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the oven door slightly ajar until completely cool (at least 2-3 hours, or overnight).
- Refrigerate for at least 12 hours before unmolding.
- Run a thin knife around the edges of the pan to loosen the cheesecake.
- Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan.
- Slice and serve. Top with fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries) for an extra delicious touch.
