Why you’ll love this recipe:

• Easy to Make: No complicated steps or special equipment required.
• Perfectly Portioned: Mini cheesecakes are great for portion control and easy serving.
• Delicious: The creamy filling and subtly sweet crust create a heavenly combination.

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:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
2. 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.
3. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Spoon the cream cheese filling evenly into the cupcake liners, on top of the crusts.
6. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the filling is set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.
7. 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.
