Description
Indulge in these delicious Keto Mini Cheesecakes with Almond Crust, perfect for a guilt-free dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- ¼ cup granulated erythritol (or preferred keto sweetener)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup granulated erythritol (or preferred keto sweetener)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease with cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, ¼ cup erythritol, and salt. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Evenly distribute the almond mixture into the bottom of each muffin cup, pressing down firmly to form a crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add ½ cup erythritol, mixing until well combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and lemon juice until smooth.
- Pour the cream cheese mixture over the cooled almond crusts, filling each cup about ¾ full. Bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly.
- Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecakes inside for 1 hour to cool gradually.
- Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
Notes
- For a chocolate version, add 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder to the cream cheese mixture.
- For a fruit topping, consider using a low-carb berry sauce made from blended berries and a sweetener of your choice.
