- Easy to Make: No complicated steps or special equipment required.
- Perfectly Portioned: Mini cheesecakes are great for portion control and easy serving.

Ingredients:
For the Crust:
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
For the Filling:
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of each cupcake liner to form the crust.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Spoon the cream cheese filling evenly into the cupcake liners, on top of the crusts.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the filling is set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Let the cheesecakes cool completely in the muffin tin before transferring them to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours.
Tips and Variations:
- Toppings: Get creative with your toppings! Fresh berries, chocolate shavings, or a drizzle of caramel sauce are all great options.
- Crust Variations: You can substitute gluten-free graham cracker crumbs for the almond flour if you prefer.
- Flavor Enhancements: Add a tablespoon of lemon juice to the filling for a citrusy twist.
