Ingredients
Scale
Crust Layer
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 tablespoon powdered low-carb sweetener
Cheesecake Layer
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
- ⅓ cup powdered low-carb sweetener
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Strawberry Topping
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
- 1–2 tablespoons powdered low-carb sweetener (to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a bowl, combine the almond flour, melted butter, and powdered low-carb sweetener. Mix until the mixture becomes crumbly. Spoon about 1 to 2 tablespoons into the bottom of each dessert cup and gently press down to form an even crust layer.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the powdered low-carb sweetener and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined and smooth.
- Assemble the Cups: Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust layer in each cup, filling nearly to the top, ensuring a smooth surface.
- Add Strawberry Topping: Mix the diced fresh strawberries with 1 to 2 tablespoons of powdered low-carb sweetener to taste. Spoon this mixture evenly over the cheesecake layer in each cup.
- Chill: Place the assembled cheesecake cups in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. This chilling step allows the flavors to meld and the cheesecake texture to firm up, resulting in a delicious, creamy dessert ready to serve.
Notes
- Use full-fat cream cheese and heavy whipping cream for the best creamy texture and keto compliance.
- You can substitute the low-carb sweetener with your preferred keto-friendly sweetener like erythritol or monk fruit.
- For an extra touch, garnish with a fresh strawberry or mint leaf before serving.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Allowing the cheesecake to chill longer enhances firmness and flavor development.
