Prep Time 15 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes
Servings 8 servings

Ingredients
  

  • For the Crust:
  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/4 cup powdered erythritol or allulose (to taste)
  • 1/4 cup melted butter or coconut oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • For the Filling:
  • 12 ounces cream cheese, softened (full-fat)
  • 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/3–1/2 cup powdered erythritol or allulose (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest (about 1 large lemon)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional Toppings:
  • Fresh berries (raspberries, blueberries, or sliced strawberries)
  • Shaved dark chocolate (85%+), a few curls
  • Toasted coconut flakes

Instructions
 

  • Prep your pan. Line an 8x8-inch square pan or a 9-inch springform pan with parchment. Leave overhang for easy lifting later.
  • Make the crust. In a bowl, mix almond flour, shredded coconut, sweetener, salt, vanilla, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles damp sand and holds when pressed.
  • Press and chill. Firmly press the crust into an even layer in the pan. Use the back of a spoon or the base of a measuring cup to compact it. Chill in the fridge while you make the filling.
  • Whip the cream. In a cold bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream to medium-stiff peaks. Set aside.
  • Beat the cream cheese. In a separate bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sweetener, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla, and a pinch of salt until smooth and fluffy. Scrape down the sides to avoid lumps.
  • Fold together. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture in two or three additions. Keep it light to maintain a silky, airy texture.
  • Fill the pan. Spoon the filling over the chilled crust. Smooth the top with an offset spatula or the back of a spoon.
  • Chill to set. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, until firm enough to slice cleanly.
  • Add toppings and serve. Before serving, top with a few fresh berries, a sprinkle of toasted coconut, or dark chocolate shavings. Slice into squares or wedges and serve cold.
