Ingredients
 

For the Crust

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup diced pecans
  • 2 tablespoons Truvia® Cane Sugar Blend
  • 6 tablespoons salted butter melted

For the Filling

  • 12 ounces cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup Truvia® Cane Sugar Blend
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice

For the Topping

  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon Truvia® Cane Sugar Blend
  • Garnish Options: lemon slices, lemon zest, and fresh mint

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper or grease with butter or nonstick spray.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together flour, pecans, and Truvia® Cane Sugar Blend.
  • Add melted butter and mix until the texture resembles damp sand.
  • Press firmly into the prepared pan. Bake 15-18 minutes, until lightly golden around the edges. 
  • In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth.
  • Add egg, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla, and Truvia® Cane Sugar Blend. Mix just until combined.
  • Pour over the cooled crust and smooth the top. Bake 30-40 minutes, until the center is just set and no longer jiggly. Cool completely in the refrigerator.
  • In a large bowl, whip heavy cream with Truvia® Cane Sugar Blend and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
  • Spread the whipped cream over the top of the cooled cheesecake. Garnish as desired. Slice and serve.
