Ingredients
For the Crust
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1½ tbsp powdered monk fruit sweetener
- ½ tsp cinnamon (optional)
For the Cheesecake Filling
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- ¼ cup sour cream or heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- Pinch of salt
Optional Toppings
- Sugar-free berry sauce
- Fresh raspberries or strawberries
- Whipped heavy cream (unsweetened or keto-sweetened)
Why these ingredients work:
Almond flour creates a buttery, low-carb crust, while cream cheese and eggs provide that classic cheesecake structure. Powdered sweetener melts seamlessly for ultra-smooth texture.
Ingredient Notes
- Cream Cheese: Use full-fat for the richest flavor and creamiest texture.
- Sweetener: Powdered is key — granulated can leave a gritty mouthfeel.
- Almond Flour: Finely ground works best for crust cohesion.
- Lemon Juice: Brightens flavor and balances richness.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prep the Pan
Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
2. Make the Crust
In a bowl, combine almond flour, sweetener, cinnamon, and melted butter. Stir until crumbly but moist. Press about 1 tablespoon firmly into each liner.
Bake for 8 minutes until lightly golden and fragrant. Let cool slightly.
3. Mix the Cheesecake Filling
Beat softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Add powdered sweetener and mix again.
Blend in eggs one at a time, followed by sour cream, vanilla, lemon juice, and salt. Scrape sides for perfectly creamy batter.
4. Fill & Bake
Pour filling over each crust, filling almost to the top. Bake 16–18 minutes until centers are just set and edges look puffed.
5. Cool Slowly
Turn off oven, crack door, and let cheesecakes rest for 10 minutes. Transfer to rack and cool fully before chilling.
6. Chill for Best Texture
Refrigerate at least 2 hours — this step transforms them into dense, silky perfection.

Pro Tips & Variations
Swap almond flour for pecan meal for a nutty crust. Add cocoa powder for chocolate cheesecakes, or swirl in sugar-free raspberry jam before baking.
