Ingredients
For the Keto Crust
- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- 3 tbsp melted butter
- 2 tbsp powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
- ½ tsp cinnamon
For the Cheesecake Filling
- 16 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened
- ¾ cup powdered keto sweetener
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Cinnamon Honeybun Swirl
- 3 tbsp melted butter
- ¼ cup brown-style keto sweetener
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
Why these ingredients work:
Almond flour keeps the crust low-carb yet sturdy, cream cheese provides rich creaminess, and cinnamon adds that classic honeybun warmth without added sugar.
Recipe Equipment
- 9-inch springform pan
- Parchment paper
- Mixing bowls
- Hand or stand mixer
- Rubber spatula
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Baking sheet (for water bath protection)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust
Preheat your oven to 325°F. Line the bottom of your springform pan with parchment paper. In a bowl, mix almond flour, melted butter, sweetener, and cinnamon until it resembles damp sand. Press firmly into the pan and bake for 10 minutes until lightly golden. Let cool.
2. Make the Cheesecake Filling
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Add sweetener and mix until creamy. Beat in eggs one at a time, followed by sour cream and vanilla. The batter should be silky and lump-free.
3. Create the Cinnamon Swirl
In a small bowl, mix melted butter, brown keto sweetener, and cinnamon until thick and glossy. This is where that honeybun magic happens.
4. Assemble the Cheesecake
Pour half of the cheesecake filling over the crust. Drizzle half of the cinnamon mixture and gently swirl with a knife. Repeat with remaining filling and cinnamon swirl.
5. Bake to Perfection
Place the pan on a baking sheet and bake for 50–55 minutes. The edges should be set while the center remains slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let the cheesecake cool slowly.
6. Chill and Set
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to achieve the creamiest texture.
Ingredient Notes
- Cream Cheese: Full-fat works best for flavor and texture.
- Sweetener: Powdered sweetener prevents graininess in cheesecake.
- Cinnamon: Use fresh cinnamon for the strongest aroma and flavor.
Pro Tips & Variations
For extra indulgence, drizzle sugar-free cream cheese icing on top before serving. Want more crunch? Add chopped pecans to the crust. If you prefer mini desserts, bake this recipe in muffin tins for individual cheesecakes. Always cool slowly to prevent cracking. Store slices tightly wrapped to keep them ultra-creamy. You can even freeze slices for quick keto treats later — just thaw overnight in the fridge.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve chilled with keto whipped cream
- Pair with coffee or chai tea
- Sprinkle extra cinnamon on top for presentation
- Add a few crushed keto nuts for texture
Storage Information
- Refrigerator: Store covered for up to 5 days
