Instructions
- Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups gluten-free almond flour with 6 tbsp melted unsalted butter and 2 tbsp granulated sugar. Press mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Refrigerate crust for 20 minutes to set.
- Step 2: In a large bowl, beat 16 oz softened cream cheese with 2/3 cup granulated sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth and creamy using a hand mixer.
- Step 3: In a separate chilled bowl, whip 1 cup heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
- Step 4: Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the chilled almond crust. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
- Step 5: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 2 cups mixed berries with 2 tbsp lemon juice. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until berries break down and sauce thickens slightly. Let cool completely.
- Step 6: Spoon the cooled berry compote over the set cheesecake before serving.
