Ingredients
Method
Preparation of Crust
- Grind the pecans in a food processor until very fine.
- In a frying pan over medium heat, brown the ground pecans with the almond flour, stirring continuously for 4-5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and mix in the sweetener and melted butter until combined.
- Prepare a springform pan with parchment or wax paper and press the nut mixture into the bottom. Chill in the fridge.
Preparing the Cheesecake Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, whip the whipping cream and 1/4 cup of cream cheese until stiff peaks form.
- In a saucepan, bring the boiling water to a boil, then add the jello packets and stir until dissolved.
- Blend the melted jello with the remaining 1/2 cup of cream cheese in a blender until smooth.
- Combine the jello mixture with the whipped cream and blend until fluffy.
Assembly
- Pour the jello cheesecake mixture over the prepared crust.
- Chill in the fridge for about an hour before serving.
Serving
- Remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and slice into wedges.
- Serve chilled, optionally garnished with fresh berries or whipped cream.
Notes
Do not overbeat the whipped cream for fluffy texture. A splash of vanilla extract can enhance flavor. You can mix different jello flavors for variety. Store leftovers covered in the fridge for 3 to 5 days.
