Instructions
Make the Crust:
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, butter, and brown sugar substitute. Transfer the mixture to a pie plate and press it down firmly into the bottom and sides to form the crust.
Bake the crust for 10 minutes. Remove it from the oven and set aside for now. Leave the oven on.
Make the Filling:
Place the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar substitute, eggs, vanilla, and lemon juice in a large bowl. Use a stand mixer or hand mixer to beat the mixture until well combined and creamy.
Assemble, Bake, and Chill the Cheesecake:
Pour the filling into the pre-baked crust. Place the cheesecake in the 350°F oven for 10 minutes. Lower the temperature to 250°F and continue baking until the filling is fully set on top but not cracking, approximately 30 to 35 minutes.
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool for about 20 minutes at room temperature. Move it to the refrigerator to set and chill overnight.
Make the Topping:
After the cheesecake has chilled in the fridge overnight, prepare your blackberry sauce. Heat the blackberries and water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Let the mixture cook for about 5 to 10 minutes, stirring often and mashing the berries as they get soft.
Stir the sugar substitute and chia seeds into the blackberry mixture. Cook for another 1 minute, then remove from heat.
Let the sauce sit for 5 minutes to thicken up and cool down. Pour the cooled sauce over your chilled cheesecake. Serve immediately or after chilling again, if desired.
