Ingredients

For the Crust:

  • 3 tablespoons melted butter

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered erythritol (adjust to taste)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup sour cream

Optional Toppings:

  • Sugar-free whipped cream
  • Fresh berries
  • Sugar-free chocolate drizzle

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. Make the Crust:
    • In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, powdered erythritol, and melted butter until it forms a crumbly mixture.
    • Divide the crust mixture evenly among the muffin tin cups, pressing it firmly into the bottom to form a crust layer.
  3. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
    • In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered erythritol together until smooth and creamy.
    • Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
    • Mix in the vanilla extract and sour cream until everything is well combined and smooth.
  4. Fill the Muffin Tins:
    • Spoon the cheesecake filling evenly over the crust in each muffin tin cup, filling them almost to the top.
  5. Bake the Cheesecakes:
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheesecakes are set around the edges but slightly jiggly in the center.
    • Remove from the oven and let them cool completely in the muffin tin.
  6. Chill and Serve:
    • Once cooled, refrigerate the cheesecake bites for at least 2 hours or overnight to firm up.
  7. Optional Toppings:
    • Before serving, garnish with sugar-free whipped cream, fresh berries, or a drizzle of sugar-free chocolate if desired.
