I used California Ranch 100% California Extra Virgin Olive Oil in all components of this cheesecake. I love their olive oil because it is the richest in flavor, as the fruit is picked the moment it is ripe, then crushed and bottled right in California.

Olive Oil Lemon Curd Cheesecake Ingredients: Lemon Curd:
2 eggs
2/3 cup fresh lemon juice
2/3 cup allulose stevia blend sweetener (Logica)
pinch of salt
Cheesecake Crust:
1 1/2 cup sunflower seed flour (Think.Eat.Live)
1 1/2 cup almond flour
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp lemon zest
6 Tbsp allulose stevia blend sweetener (Logica)
Cheesecake Filling:
16 oz cream cheese, room temp
1/2 cup allulose stevia blend sweetener (Logica)
2 eggs, room temp
3 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp salt
16 oz sour cream
Cooking Directions:
Make Lemon Curd:
1. In a microwave safe bowl, mix olive oil, eggs, sweetener and lemon juice.
2. Microwave for 1 minute. Stir. Continue to microwave at 30 second intervals until lemon curd starts to
thicken and sticks to a spoon. Curd will thicken more as it cools. Set lemon curd aside to cool.
Make Cheesecake:
1. Preheat oven to 350F. Wrap a 9" springform pan with foil so there are no seams. Set aside.
2. Place all the crust dry ingredients in a bowl and add the olive oil. Mix together with a fork until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
3. Turn the crust mixture into the springform pan, spread out evenly, and use your fingers to pat an even layer of crumbs along the bottom of the pan and about halfway up the sides.
4. Bake crust for 10 minutes until lightly brown and set. Remove and let cool.
5. Using an electric mixer fitted with a paddle, beat the cream cheese and sweetener together until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add eggs one at time, beating after each added until blended. Add the olive oil, lemon juice, vanilla and salt and mix until just combined. Stir in sour cream.
6. Pour into the prepared crust. Create a water bath by placing the spring form pan in a roasting pan, and fill roasting pan with hot water until it reaches about 2 inches up the sides of the pan.
7. Bake for 60 minutes. Cheesecake should still jiggle in the middle. Remove from oven and spoon the lemon curd on top of the cheesecake. Return to the oven and bake another 10 minutes. Turn oven off and let cool for 1 hour. Remove from roasting pan and the cheesecake cool another hour on the counter. Refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight. Nutritional Information: Coming ...
