Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F degrees.
Great and line a spring form cake tin with parchment paper.
Make the base:
Cream the butter and erythritol in a bowl until blended.
Add the egg and beat until together.
Add the cream cheese and vanilla and beat with a spoon until smooth.
Add the peanut flour, baking powder and salt. Mix thoroughly.
Spoon the mixture into the cake tin and press down evenly. It will be a bit sticky so you may want to wet the spoon when smoothing it evenly.
Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until golden and firm.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the fridge to firm up for an hour.
Make the Cheesecake filling:
Melt the chocolate in a Bain Marie or a bowl over simmering water.
Remove from the heat and add the erythritol. Mix until combined, then allow to cool slightly.
In a bowl whip the cream until thick.
In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until soft and smooth.
Add the cocoa powder and melted chocolate and mix until the colour is even.
Gently fold in the whipped cream and stir until combined.
Spoon the mixture onto the base and place in the fridge for at least 4 hours to firm.
