Why You’ll Love This:

Perfect for those who prefer a lower sugar option, these mini cheesecakes use monkfruit sweetener, offering a deliciously sweet taste without the added sugar. The combination of tangy cream cheese, zesty lemon, and sweet strawberries creates a perfectly balanced dessert.

Ingredients:

• For the Crust:
  • 1 1/2 cups Almond Flour
  • 55g Melted Unsalted Butter
  • 1 tbsp (or more to taste) Monkfruit Sweetener (Powdered)
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
• For the Filling:
  • 1 1/2 cups Cream Cheese
  • 1/2 to 3/4 cup Monkfruit Sweetener (Powdered), to taste
  • 1/2 cup Sour Cream
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 2 Eggs (room temperature)
• Toppings:
  • Fresh Strawberries
  • Whipped Cream

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Tray: Line a muffin tray with cupcake liners and preheat the oven to 150°C (300°F) with fan.
2. Make the Crust: Combine almond flour, melted butter, monkfruit sweetener, and salt. Divide evenly among the liners, pressing down with a spoon. Bake for 8 minutes, then cool completely.
3. Cheesecake Filling: Beat cream cheese with monkfruit sweetener until smooth. Mix in sour cream, lemon juice, and vanilla extract briefly. Add eggs one at a time, mixing just until combined. Avoid over-beating.
4. Bake: Lower oven temperature to 140°C (280°F) with fan. Fill the liners with the cheesecake mixture over the crust. Bake for 20 minutes.
5. Cool Gradually: Open the oven door slightly, letting the cheesecakes cool inside. Then, remove and allow to reach room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
6. Decorate: Top each cheesecake with a large strawberry. Pipe a circle of whipped cream around each strawberry, adding a small peak on top.

Enjoy these Strawberry Bliss Mini Cheesecakes, a delightful treat that combines the richness of cheesecake with the freshness of strawberries!
