Tbsp. granular Splenda  
Tbsp. granular Sugar Twin  
/2 cup sour cream  
tsp. fresh lemon juice  
tsp. pure vanilla extract  
large egg yolks  
large eggs  
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment  
paper and coat the inside of the pan with soft butter.  
If you are using raw Brazil nuts, spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 10-15  
minutes until they are lightly golden. If using roasted macadamia nuts, omit the roasting.  
Let cool. While the nuts are toasting, melt the butter. Transfer the nuts to a food  
processor and pulse until finely chopped. Add the remaining ingredients and pulse to  
combine. Pat evenly into the bottom of the springform pan. Place in the fridge.  
Increase the oven temperature to 500°F. In a food processor or mixing bowl, beat the  
cream cheese until smooth. Add the sweeteners, sour cream, lemon juice and vanilla  
and process or beat until combined. Add the egg yolks and then the eggs, two at a time,  
beating until incorporated before you add the next two. Remember to scrape the bowl  
frequently while you are mixing.  
Carefully pour the filling over the chilled crust and place the springform on a rimmed  
baking sheet or larger pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 200°F  
and continue baking for 1 1/2 hours. Do not open the door! The cheesecake should  
suntill look soft in the center.  
Transfer to a cooling rack. After 5 minutes, run a paring knife around the outside of the  
cheesecake to loosen it from the pan. Continue cooling to room temperature. You can  
serve it right away, or chill.
