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, and vanilla until smooth and fluffy (~2 min).

3. Fill & customize:

Divide filling among crusts. Add your chosen topping swirl or garnish.

4. Chill & serve:

Refrigerate at least 4 hours (or freeze 1 hour for faster set).
