Method
Step 1: Prepare the Crust
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with parchment liners or use silicone molds.
- In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, melted butter, sweetener, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
- Spoon about 1 tablespoon of crust mixture into each liner and press firmly to form an even base. Bake for 8–10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
Step 2: Make the Raspberry Layer
- In a small saucepan, combine raspberries, sweetener, water, and lemon zest. Cook over low heat, stirring gently, until raspberries break down and form a thick sauce (about 5–7 minutes).
- Remove from heat and allow to cool. For a smoother texture, mash or blend lightly.
Step 3: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling
- In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Add sweetener, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Beat again until fully combined.
- Slowly pour in heavy cream and continue mixing until the filling is thick, creamy, and smooth.
Step 4: Assemble the Cheesecake Bites
- Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling over the cooled crusts, filling each liner nearly to the top.
- Add a small spoonful of raspberry sauce on top of each cheesecake bite. Swirl gently with a toothpick if desired.
Step 5: Bake and Chill
- Bake at 325°F (165°C) for 15–18 minutes, just until the centers are set but slightly jiggly.
- Remove from oven and let cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully set.
