Keto friendly cheesecake

This is one of my favorite cheesecake recipe and le hubster really enjoyed it too when he was off keto, so I thought I'd try out a keto friendly version. It came out wonderfully. It's also crustless, but if you insist on a crust, the only keto friendly version I know can be found here (with a different cheesecake recipe).

The ingredients:
24 oz cream cheese
1/2 cup splenda (use less if you don't like really sweet cheesecakes)
3 tbs coconut flour
1/2 tsp finely grated lemon zest
1/2 tsp orange extract
3 large eggs
1 large egg yolk

Prepare a water bath for your cheesecake by filling a pan (that's bigger than your cheesecake pan) with water about a third to half way and place in oven of 275°F.

In a standing mixer, beat together cream cheese, splenda, coconut flour, lemon zest and orange extract until smooth. Add eggs and yolk, one at a time, beating on low speed until each ingredient is incorporated. Scrape bowl down between additions to ensure everything is mixed. Pour filling into pan.


Place your cheesecake into the now hot water bath and let it bake for 1-2 hours. It should look beautiful like this:
Le hubster really really really loved it. :D
