- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
- Topping (optional):
- ½ tsp. cinnamon + 1 tbsp. Erythritol
INGREDIENT NOTES:
CINNAMON:
- To have that classic snickerdoodle flavor, you need to use the powdered cinnamon. Adjust the amount as per your taste. For a deeper flavor, use a combo of powdered nutmeg along with powdered cinnamon.
KETO FLOUR:
- Here, we are using the flour of almonds. Verify that the flour of almonds you are using is made of skinless almonds. Otherwise, your almond flour with skin will not be super fine. This will ruin your dish.
ESSENCE OF VANILLA:
- This essence will combine with powdered cinnamon to enhance the flavor & aroma of snickerdoodle. Always use the pure version of the essence.
BUTTER:
- The melted butter will set the crust. Be careful whether you are using the salted or unsalted butter. Adjust the salt according to that.
CREAM CHEESE:
- Soften the cream cheese(full-fat) using the microwave before using. It will provide you with smoothness & best flavor.
KETO SWEETENER:
- Go for any sweetener(keto), such as erythritol, monk fruit blend, allulose, etc. However, you should keep in mind that Powdered sweetener works best here, as granular sweetener will not dissolve easily and also disturbs the texture.
WHIPPING CREAM(HEAVY):
- Using this whipping cream will lighten up our cheesecake layer without reducing the volume. You need to whip it till you get the peaks(stiff) & then combine it with cream cheese.

FAQs:
Is it possible to work with any other keto sweetener in place of erythritol?
- The recipe allows you to use any keto sweetener, but it must be in its powdered form.
Can I turn this recipe into its non-dairy version?
