For the Crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon granulated erythritol (or any preferred sugar substitute)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Filling:

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled (plus more for topping)
  • 1/4 cup granulated erythritol (adjust to taste, and based on the sweetness of the strawberries)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon gelatin powder (dissolved in 2 tablespoons warm water)
  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions

Prepare the Crust:

  1. Combine Crust Ingredients: In a bowl, mix together the almond flour, melted butter, erythritol, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  2. Press into Pan: Transfer the mixture to a 9-inch springform pan. Press firmly into the bottom of the pan to form an even crust. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
