Ingredients

  • 3 lbs whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 8 eggs
  • 1/2 cup sweetner or liquid stevia
  • 3 lemons zested
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • olive oil spray

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 F
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the ricotta, eggs, sweetener, vanilla, and lemon zest.
  • With the paddle blade, mix on low speed for 10 minutes. The mixture will be light and fluffy
  • Spray the bottom and sides of a 9" springform pan with olive oil spray.
  • Pour the batter into the pan and bake at 425 F for 30 minutes
  • After 30 minutes, decrease the oven temperature to 375 F and bake for an additional 40-45 minutes.
  • Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let cool for about 1 hour.
  • Use a butter knife to loosen the sides of the cheesecake from the sides of the pan. This will eliminate the cracking as the cheesecake continues to cool.
  • Once the cheesecake is cooled, remove from the springform pan, cover, and refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours. It is better if it can cool overnight.
  • Slice and enjoy!

Notes

This is great topped with Keto Lemon Curd
You can try baking at 375 F for the whole time instead of the 425F then 375F
