Why Choose Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweetener?

Ingredients Needed
- 1 ½ cups cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweetener
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 prepared graham cracker crust
Step-by-Step Preparation
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweetener, mixing well to incorporate.
One at a time, add eggs, beating after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract and sour cream until the mixture is creamy and well-blended. Pour the filling into the prepared graham cracker crust.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is just set. The cheesecake should have a slight jiggle but not be liquid. Remove from oven and let it cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Tips for a Moist and Sweet Cheesecake
- Use full-fat cream cheese for a richer, moister texture.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the cheesecake light and fluffy.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight to enhance flavor and moisture.
- Consider adding fresh berries or a fruit compote for extra sweetness and moisture.
