Maria Mind Body Health | Keto Cheesecake and Depression and Craig's Birthday - Maria Mind Body Health

Ingredients

• 1 vanilla bean
• 6 (8 oz) packages organic cream cheese or mascarpone cheese
• ¾ cup Swerve confectioners (or stevia glycerite to taste)
• ½ tsp Celtic sea salt
• 3 eggs

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Cut a vanilla bean open through the middle and scrape the beans out of the inside with a sharp knife.
3. In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, natural sweetener, vanilla bean and salt with an electric mixer until blended.
4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low after each, just until blended.
5. Pour into a greased spring form pan. I use a water bath to create a more even baking process.
6. To prevent water
   from seeping into the removable bottom of the springform pan, wrap
   aluminum foil completely around the bottom and halfway up the sides of
   the pan.
7. Place the cheesecake into a jellyroll pan (or any baking pan with sides) and place the pans into the oven.
8. Use a teakettle to fill the outer pan with hot water.
9. Bake 1 hour and 5 minutes to 1 hour and 10 minutes or until center is almost set.
10. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
11. Run knife around the rim of the pan to loosen cake and allow to cool before removing the spring-form pan ring.
12. Refrigerate overnight.
