  • Total Time: 6 Hours 35 Minutes
  • Yield: 12 slices

Ingredients

Scale

Almond Crust

  • 2 cups finely blanched almond flour
  • ⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar-free sweetener
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt

Cheesecake Filling

  • 16 oz (450 g) full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • ¾ cup powdered sugar-free sweetener
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup crushed pineapple, thoroughly drained

Whipped Topping

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream (very cold)
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar-free sweetener
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Garnish

 

  • Fresh pineapple pieces
  • Toasted coconut flakes
  • Sugar-free white chocolate shavings

Instructions

Step 1

Drain the crushed pineapple in a fine mesh strainer for at least 20 minutes. Pat dry using paper towels until very little moisture remains.

Step 2

Grease a 9-inch springform pan with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 3

Mix almond flour, melted butter, sweetener, vanilla, and salt until the mixture resembles wet sand.

Step 4

Firmly press the crust into the bottom of the prepared pan using the bottom of a measuring cup.

Step 5

Refrigerate for 20 minutes.

(Optional: bake at 325°F (163°C) for 10 minutes for a firmer crust, then cool completely.)

Step 6

Beat softened cream cheese for about 3 minutes until completely smooth.

Step 7

Add sweetener and vanilla.

Beat until creamy.

Step 8

Fold in the well-drained crushed pineapple.

Step 9

In another bowl, whip the cold heavy cream with sweetener and vanilla until stiff peaks form.

Step 10

Fold half of the whipped cream into the cheesecake mixture.

Spread evenly over the crust.

Step 11

Top with the remaining whipped cream.

Smooth using an offset spatula.

Step 12

Decorate with

  • pineapple pieces
  • toasted coconut
  • sugar-free white chocolate shavings

Step 13

Cover loosely.

Refrigerate for at least 6 hours.

For best texture, chill overnight.

Step 14

Slice using a warm knife.

 

Serve chilled.

Notes

✔ Drain the pineapple extremely well to prevent a soft cheesecake.

✔ Use room-temperature cream cheese for a perfectly smooth filling.

✔ Powdered sweetener blends much better than granulated sweetener.

✔ Chill overnight whenever possible.

✔ Toast coconut flakes for extra flavor.

 

✔ Freeze slices individually for up to 2 months.
