Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered erythritol or preferred sweetener

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Mix almond flour, melted butter, and chopped nuts until combined, then press into a baking pan.
- Bake the crust for about 12 minutes, until light brown around the edges. Cool completely or chill in the freezer for faster results.
- In a bowl, blend softened cream cheese with sweetener until smooth. Spread evenly over the cooled crust.

- Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight before serving for best texture.
Notes
Pro Tip: Use room-temperature cream cheese for a smooth filling and chill each layer before adding the next to prevent melting. Refrigerate overnight for clean slices and the best texture.
