Ingredients
Scale
(Makes 12 mini cheesecakes)
Crust:
- 1 cup almond flour (you love almond flour—memory #25!)
- 2 tbsp melted butter or coconut oil
- 1½ tbsp granulated monk fruit sweetener
- Pinch of salt
Lemon blueberry filling:
- 8 oz (1 block) full-fat cream cheese, softened (you love cream cheese!)
- ¼ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt (high-protein—you love this!)
- ¼ cup powdered monk fruit sweetener
- Zest of 1 lemon (about 1 tbsp—you love citrus!)
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ¾ cup fresh or frozen blueberries, divided (you love berries!)
Topping:
- Extra whole blueberries
- Lemon zest
- Optional: Sugar-free whipped cream
Instructions
1. Make crust:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- Mix almond flour, melted butter, sweetener, and salt. Press 1 tbsp into each liner.
- Bake 8–10 minutes until golden. Cool completely.
2. Make filling:
Beat cream cheese, sour cream, powdered sweetener, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla until smooth and fluffy (~2 min).
3. Swirl in blueberries:
Gently fold in ½ cup blueberries (they’ll break—this creates juicy swirls!).
4. Fill & chill:
Divide filling among crusts. Top each with 1–2 whole blueberries. Refrigerate at least 4 hours (or freeze 1 hour for faster set).
5. Serve:
Garnish with lemon zest and optional whipped cream.
