Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups coconut flour
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups cream cheese

  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Bake for 35 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. g. Remove from the oven and let it cool at room temperature for 10 minutes before refrigerating for at least 2 hours. h. Just before serving, spread the sour cream evenly over the top of the cheesecake. Sprinkle with chopped pecans to garnish.

Chef’s Insight

Allow the cheesecake to cool completely before refrigerating, as this prevents sogginess and ensures a perfect texture.
