Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups almond flour
• 3 tbsp granulated erythritol (or allulose)
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

• 3 large eggs, room temp
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/8 tsp salt

Instructions:

2. Mix almond flour, 3 tbsp erythritol, cinnamon, and melted butter. Press into pan. Bake 10 minutes; cool 5 minutes.
3. Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sweetener, yogurt, lemon, vanilla, and salt; beat until silky. Beat in eggs one at a time just until combined.

Serve with a few fresh raspberries or a drizzle of unsweetened whipped cream. Want a firmer bite? Add 1 tsp cornstarch to the batter (adds a smidge of carbs but extra structure).
