Method
Tap a time to watch that step in the video.
- Line the base of a 23 cm (9-inch) springform pan with baking paper and grease the sides. Mix the almond flour, cocoa, powdered sweetener and melted coconut oil until crumbly. 0:16
- Press the crust firmly over the base and up the sides of the pan with the bottom of a glass, then chill for 10 minutes. 1:10
- Melt the chopped 85% dark chocolate gently and let it cool a little. 1:21
- Beat the softened cream cheese with the powdered sweetener for 1–2 minutes until fluffy. 1:52
- Add the vanilla, the cooled melted chocolate and the cream, and mix for 1–2 minutes just until smooth and creamy — overmixing can make it runny. 2:32
- Spread the filling over the chilled crust and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight, until firm. 3:22
- Release the springform and top with chopped chocolate (or fresh berries) before slicing into 16. 3:46
Tip. For a completely sugar-free cheesecake, use unsweetened (100%) chocolate or sugar-free chocolate chips, as the cook suggests, and add a little more sweetener to taste.

Iron Source18%
3.2 mg a serve, mostly from dark chocolate (72%). Carries oxygen in your blood. Iron from plants absorbs better with vitamin C in the same meal — lemon, tomato or capsicum.
