Preparation

  2. Gradually add in the powdered erythritol and continue mixing until combined.
  3. Add in the heavy cream and mix on high speed until fluffy and well combined.
  4. Gently fold in the ricotta cheese, cinnamon, and sugar-free chocolate chips.
Assemble the Cheesecake
  1. Spread the filling over the cooled crust, smoothing it out evenly.
  2. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
Serve and Enjoy
  1. When ready to serve, carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

For substitutions, you can use coconut flour instead of almond flour, but adjust the amount. Let the cheesecake chill fully for the best flavor development. To avoid cracks, do not overmix the filling. Can be refrigerated for a week or frozen for up to three months.
