How to Make Low Carb New York Cheesecake

  1. In a small saucepan, gently heat 1/2 cup of water until warm. Sprinkle in 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) of unflavored gelatin and whisk until fully dissolved. Stir in 1 1/2 cups Splenda and whisk until completely combined.
  2. (Choose Option 1 OR Option 2):
  3. Option 1: Add 1 package (3 oz) sugar-free Jell-O (any flavor) to the gelatin mixture and reduce Splenda to 1 cup.
  4. Option 2: Add 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder and 1/2 cup Splenda to the gelatin mixture.
  5. Allow the gelatin mixture to cool completely.
  6. Melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl.
  7. Crush 1 1/2 cups of pretzels into fine crumbs. Add the melted butter and 3 tablespoons of Splenda; mix until well combined.
  8. Press the pretzel mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  9. Bake the crust at 350°F (175°C) for 8 minutes. Let cool completely.
  10. In a large mixing bowl, beat together 16 ounces (2 packages) of cream cheese (softened), 8 ounces of sour cream, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup almond flour until smooth and creamy.
  11. Gently fold in the cooled gelatin mixture until fully incorporated.
  12. Pour the cheesecake mixture into the prepared springform pan over the crust.
  13. Refrigerate for at least 4-5 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cheesecake to set completely.
  14. Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan before serving and enjoy!
