Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place a sheet of parchment paper underneath a 6" round baking pan and trace the perimeter. You can optionally use a small springform pan if you have that available.
- Cut the traced circle leaving two long strips of parchment extending from the circle (creating handles).
- Cut two long rectangular strips of parchment paper (long enough to cover half the perimeter of the pan.
- Line the pan with parchment paper; place the circular shape in the bottom and the two rectangular pieces on the sides. Grease with coconut oil.
- Melt chocolate for crust by microwaving in 30 second increments, stirring in between. Add melted butter.
- Combine sweetener and flour with the chocolate mixture.
- Once crust is fully combined, press into the greased pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Cool for another 10 minutes before topping with cheesecake filling.
- Beat cream cheese, egg, and Swerve until smooth. Slowly add cream and almond milk while beating.
- Pour Chocolate Peanut Butter Keto Chow into the batter.
- Beat until smooth (add a couple more tablespoons of almond milk if mixture is too thick).
- Pour cheesecake batter over crust and smooth with a spatula.
- Melt chocolate in 30 second increments.
- Drizzle melted chocolate onto cheesecake and swirl using a skewer or knife.
- Place pan in a water bath (oven safe pan 1/2 full) and bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees. After a half hour, decrease the heat to 200 degrees and bake for an additional hour.

If I have a 6″ springform pan, is all the lining with parchment paper necessary? Or was the paper in this recipe just to ease removal from a non-springform pan?
it’s to ease removal.
