Mini Raspberry Cheesecakes (FM)

Recipes | February 01, 2016

mini cheesecake POST

*this recipe makes 12 mini cupcakes

Ingredients:
2 eggs
16 oz cream cheese
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons erythritol (I used Swerve)
2 tablespoons lemon juice

crust:
1 cup almond flour
1/4 ground flax seed (I used this one)
1/4 cup melted butter

topping:
6 oz fresh raspberries
1 tablespoon erythritol

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degree F and line a muffin tin with 12 paper liners.
  2. Combine all the crust ingredients into a medium bowl and mix well, using a spoon evenly distribute the crust amongst the 12 cupcake liners and use your hand to push the crust into the bottom of each.
  3. Put the muffin tin in the oven for 5 minutes while you make the cheesecake.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, add the cream cheese, eggs and vanilla extract.  Using a hand mixer on low, blend the ingredients until combined well and it’s a smooth consistency. Add the erythritol and mix again until combined.
  5. With the hand mixer on low, slowly add the lemon juice while you blend.
  6. Remove the crust from the oven, spoon in the cheesecake evenly amongst each and then place back in the oven for 20 minutes.
  7. Once they’re done, place in the fridge and let set and cool for at least an hour.
  8. In a small bowl, add the fresh raspberries and erythritol and mush together to make a chunky topping, distribute on top of the cheesecake and enjoy!

    Hi Z, you are wonderful,I love how you care for others (and animals). I struggle in making decisions when purchasing certain items at the grocery store. To be more clear items like cream cheese or yogurt, sour cream, or heavy cream, what fat content should we be choosing? are you using the lite 0%, 2%, 14%, 32% fat?… would you be so kind as to specify the %of fat you’re using with these items? (Just a suggestion)… Thanks for being an inspirations xoxoxo

      I have wondered the same. Good question! Especially when they are FM. I can’t wait to make these though!

        Just ordered Swerve on Amazon and I also can’t wait to make these! Although I have a BIG problem with portion control and desserts. Especially Zuzkas Bc I tell myself “hey, they’re not that bad for you”….
        Ugh!

          Same here ! I had to calculate the carbs because I made these for my sister and me to have today as a treat and she’s keto. I came up with approximately 7.5 carbs each. They are regular cupcake size, not mini as someone asked. And that is not including the topping, which would add another 1.25 plus whatever the raspberries are. Not sure how anyone can do that for everything they eat! But there it is for anyone who is curious ! I may not tell her or she probably won’t eat one!!

    Wow! This looks so good. I love cream cheese, but hardly have a chance to get creative with it.

    These are amazing! Added a bit more lemon to make them extra zingy. Delicious!

    I have just done it but they turned into really mini mini cupcakes. What does 2 8oz mean? I don’t know if I get it right..

      Cream cheese is typdically sold in 8oz blocks. This recipe calls for 2 blocks.

    Oh wow, delicious! I made more like a half recipe but added some Greek yogurt and ended up with a few ‘extras’ without a crust, but the ones with the crust were way better! I made a cherry topping this time with some frozen cherries. The crust is great on these, and as my husband said, “oh, we definitely need to make more of these!”
