Ingredients
  

CRUST:

  • 1 cup almond flour or pecan meal
  • 1 cup pecans finely ground
  • ¼ cup Swerve Brown packed
  • 4 tablespoons salted butter melted

FILLING:

  • 16 ounces cream cheese two 8-ounce packages, softened
  • ½ cup Natural Sweetener or allulose
  • ½ cup sour cream room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon Redmond real salt
  • 2 large eggs room temperature, lightly beaten

PECAN PIE TOPPING:

  • 1/2 cup salted butter
  • 1/2 cup Swerve brown packed (or brown allulose)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 ½ cups coarsely chopped pecans

Instructions
 

Make the crust

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line the inside bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper and spray with avocado oil spray. Wrap foil around the outside bottom as well and set aside.
  • Stir the almond flour, ground pecans, sweetener, and melted butter together until it resembles wet sand. Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  • Bake for 10 minutes. Set aside to cool while you make the filling.

Make the filling

  • Reduce the oven temperature to 300ºF.
  • In a large mixing bowl beat the cream cheese with a hand mixer on medium to medium-high speed until smooth and creamy, about 45 seconds.
  • Add the sweetener, sour cream, vanilla, and salt. Beat on medium speed until well combined.
  • Using a silicone spatula, gently stir in the eggs just until combined. Pour the batter into the prepared crust. Use an offset spatula to spread the batter evenly into the bottom.
  • Bake for 40 minutes. Once the cheesecake goes into the oven, begin working on the pecan pie topping.

Make the topping

  • Place the salted butter in a medium saucepan. Heat over high heat while whisking until it froths up and brown flecks appear. Remove from heat.
  • Meanwhile, whisk the cream, sweetener, eggs, and extract together; once the butter has cooled a little, slowly add the egg mixture into the brown butter. Stir in the pecans.
  • Once the cheesecake has baked for 40 minutes, remove it from the oven.
  • Gently spoon the pecan topping over the cheesecake.
  • Return the pecan cheesecake to the oven and bake for another 30 minutes, until the top is golden brown and crisp. (If the edges of the pecan topping are over-browning during baking, cover with foil.)
  • Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely. Cover the cheesecake and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
