Ingredients

8 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup powdered erythritol (or powdered monk fruit sweetener)
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest, finely grated
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup blanched almond flour
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
2 tsp granulated erythritol (for crust)

Instructions

1

Line a mini muffin pan (12 cups) with paper liners.
2

Make the crust: in a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup blanched almond flour, 2 tbsp melted unsalted butter, and 2 tsp granulated erythritol (for crust). Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press about 1 teaspoon of crust mixture firmly into the bottom of each liner.
3

In a large bowl, beat 8 oz softened full-fat cream cheese with 1/4 cup powdered erythritol (or powdered monk fruit sweetener) until smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
4

Add 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 1 tsp finely grated lemon zest, and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract. Beat until combined.
5

Add 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream and beat on medium-high until the filling is thick and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
6

Spoon the filling over each crust, filling to the top. Smooth the surface with the back of a spoon.
7

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm. Serve cold. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Questions

Can I make Keto Lemon Cheesecake Bites dairy-free?

Not cleanly. Here the dairy (8 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened, 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream, 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted) is the backbone of the dish, and plant-based substitutes change both its texture and its flavor. If you need strictly dairy-free, start from the dairy-free dessert collection instead.

How long does Keto Lemon Cheesecake Bites keep?

Keep it covered in the refrigerator and eat it within three days.

Can I halve or double Keto Lemon Cheesecake Bites?
