Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (150g) almond flour
  • 4 tablespoons (56g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated erythritol or keto-friendly sweetener
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 8 ounces (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup (120ml) sour cream
  • ⅓ cup (60g) powdered erythritol
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, erythritol, salt, and vanilla extract. Pour in melted butter and stir until mixture resembles wet sand and holds together when pressed.
  3. Divide crust mixture evenly among 12 muffin cups or silicone molds. Press firmly to create an even, compact layer at the bottom. Set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese with sour cream and powdered erythritol until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer.
  5. Beat in eggs one at a time, fully incorporating each before adding the next.
  6. Stir in fresh lemon juice and vanilla extract until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
  7. Spoon cheesecake filling over almond crusts, filling each mold nearly to the top. Smooth surface gently.
  8. Place molds on a baking sheet and bake for 18-22 minutes until centers are slightly jiggly but edges are set.
  9. Remove from oven and cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to firm up.
  10. Gently remove cheesecake bites from molds and serve chilled.

Notes

Use powdered erythritol for a smoother filling texture. Press crust firmly to prevent crumbling. Avoid overmixing the filling to prevent cracks. Chill thoroughly for best texture. If crust is crumbly, add more melted butter. Baking at 325°F prevents cracking and drying out.
