Serves: 8 - 12

Prep: 10 minutes

Cook: 50 minutes + 3 hours chilling

Ingredients

Base:

125 g mixed nuts (1 cup)

25 g unsalted butter, melted

1 teaspoon Natvia

1 tablespoon cacao powder, optional

Cheesecake:

300 g cream cheese

2 tablespoon Natvia

2 medium eggs

2 teaspoon sugar-free vanilla extract

Topping:

120 g sour cream (1/2 cup)

seeds scraped from 1 vanilla pod (or 1 teaspoon sugar-free vanilla extract)

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 180C/gas 4.
  2. Line a 6" (15cm) loose-based cake tin with baking paper (cut a circle for the base and then a long strip slightly taller than the sides so it's completely lined and sticks out of the top of the tin a little).
  3. Make the crust by pulsing nuts in a food processor to chop (chunkier will make for a crunchy base, but finer will be more delicate), then pour in melted butter, Natvia and cacao powder (if using), and pulse until combined.
  4. Pour into the lined cake tin and press into a smooth, even layer along the bottom and slightly up the sides of the tin. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Allow to cool while you make the cheesecake.
  5. Beat together cream cheese and Natvia with a whisk until soft and fluffy. Stir in the eggs, one at a time, mixing between each addition until incorporated. Fold in the vanilla. Pour on top of the base in the cake tin and return to the oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the cheesecake is just set on top, but still has a slight wobble in the center if you shake the tin gently.
  6. Mix the sour cream and vanilla and spoon over the top of the cheesecake. Return to the oven for 5 minutes, then allow to cool completely before chilling in the fridge for at least 3-4 hours, or overnight.
  7. Remove very carefully from the tin and serve cold on its own or with fresh berries, which cut through the richness. You could also crush some frozen berries and heat until warm to make a coulis for drizzling over.
