Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Crust ingredients
  • 1/2 cup almond flour Base for the crust
  • 1.5 tbsp melted butter Used to bind the crust
  • 1/2 tsp keto-friendly sweetener (erythritol, monk fruit, or stevia) Adjust to taste
  • a pinch cinnamon (optional) For additional flavor
Filling ingredients
  • 7 oz cream cheese (softened) Make sure to soften before mixing
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream Cold, for whipping
  • 1-1.5 tsp erythritol or stevia (to taste) Additional sweetener as needed
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract For flavor
  • Optional a few drops of lemon juice or zest For added brightness

Method
 

Prepare the crust
  1. In a small bowl, combine almond flour, melted butter, sweetener, and cinnamon if using. Mix until the texture resembles damp sand.
  2. Divide the crust mixture between small glass dessert jars or cups and press down firmly with a spoon to create an even base.
Make the filling
  1. Add room-temperature cream cheese to a bowl. Beat with a hand mixer for 20-30 seconds to soften the cream cheese and remove any lumps.
  2. Mix in erythritol or stevia and vanilla extract. Beat again until smooth.
  3. Slowly pour in the heavy cream while whipping. Continue beating until the mixture becomes fluffy, thick, and mousse-like.
  4. Taste and add 2-3 drops of lemon juice or a bit more sweetener if needed.
  5. Spoon the cheesecake filling over the crusts, smoothing the tops.
Chill and Serve
  1. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours (overnight gives the best texture).
  2. Add berries, shaved chocolate, or coconut flakes before serving.

Notes

Use room-temperature cream cheese for better blending. Chill your mixing bowl and beaters slightly for quicker whipping. Taste as you go to adjust sweetness. Avoid over-whipping the filling.
