INSTRUCTIONS
- Ginger Cinnamon Crust
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Add almond flour, ginger, cinnamon, powdered erythritol and grated lemon rind into a 9 inch spring form pan.
- Gently whisk butter with the egg and add to the pan.
- Blend all ingredients well with a fork. Once blended spread mixture evenly in the bottom of the pan. The back of a small flat bottomed measuring cup works very well.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes until just light golden brown.
- Cool to room temperature before adding the cheesecake batters.
