How to Make Low Carb New York Ricotta Cheesecake

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. Place the springform pan in a larger roasting pan.
  3. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese, ricotta, sour cream, and sugar substitute on low speed until smooth and combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together heavy cream, vanilla extract, lemon juice, eggs, and egg yolks until well blended.
  5. Gradually add the egg mixture to the cream cheese mixture, beating on medium speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared springform pan.
  7. Pour enough hot water into the roasting pan to come halfway up the sides of the springform pan (create a water bath).
  8. Bake for 15 minutes at 400°F (200°C), then reduce oven temperature to 275°F (135°C).
  9. Continue baking for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set around the edges and the center is just slightly jiggly.
  10. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 3 hours.
  11. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and the water bath. Let it cool completely on a wire rack.
  12. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.
