How To Make

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325°F and line a 9 inch springform pan with parchment paper.

Step 4

Beat cream cheese and allulose until creamy. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in sour cream, mocha cream, and vanilla.

Step 5

Pour into the crust and bake for 45 to 55 minutes, until the edges are set and the center softly jiggles. Cool, then chill for at least 6 hours.

Step 6

Whip heavy cream, allulose, and vanilla until fluffy.

Step 7

Spoon the cloud topping over the chilled cheesecake in soft peaks.

Tips

Soften the Cream Cheese All the Way

Take your cream cheese out of the fridge a good 2 hours before you start so it comes fully to room temperature.

If it’s still cold in the middle, you’ll get little lumps in your filling that never smooth out no matter how long you beat it.

From my experience, cold cream cheese is the number one reason a cheesecake filling turns out grainy instead of silky.

Don’t Overbeat After Adding the Eggs

Once you start adding the eggs one at a time, mix just until each one disappears into the batter and then stop.

Beating too much after the eggs go in pumps a lot of air into the filling, and that air is what makes the top puff up and then sink and crack as it cools.

My favorite trick here is to switch to low speed the moment the eggs go in and mix everything gently from that point on.

Dissolve the Espresso Powder Completely

When you whisk the cocoa and espresso powder into the heavy cream, keep going until the mix is totally smooth with no gritty bits.

Instant espresso powder can stay a little clumpy if you rush it, and those clumps turn into bitter specks you’ll bite into later.

You’ll get the best results if you warm the heavy cream slightly first, since a little heat helps the powder melt in much faster.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need both monk fruit and allulose instead of just one sweetener?

Each sweetener does a different job here, so using both gives you the best result. Monk fruit works great in the crust where you just need sweetness, while allulose is used in the filling and topping because it stays soft and does not crystallize when chilled.

If you only have one on hand, you can use allulose throughout without any real problems, but swapping everything to monk fruit may leave the filling with a slightly grainy feel once it sets in the fridge.
