Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups almond flour, 6 tbsp melted unsalted butter, and 1/3 cup erythritol. Mix until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press evenly into the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden and fragrant, then let cool.
  2. Step 2: Sprinkle 1 tsp gelatin powder over 3 tbsp cold water in a small bowl; let bloom for 5 minutes, then gently warm until dissolved.
  3. Step 3: In a large bowl, beat 8 oz softened cream cheese until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup heavy whipping cream with 1/4 cup powdered erythritol and 1 tsp vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
  4. Step 4: Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese along with the dissolved gelatin and 1/2 tsp almond extract until fully combined and smooth.
  5. Step 5: Spread half of the cream mixture over the cooled crust, then scatter 3/4 cup fresh raspberries evenly on top. Add the remaining cream mixture over the raspberries and smooth the surface.
  6. Step 6: Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, until set. Before serving, garnish with the remaining 3/4 cup fresh raspberries.
