Ingredients
For the crust:
- 6 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 cups superfine, blanched almond flour
- 1 teaspoon grated lime zest
- 1/3 cup granulated erythritol sweetener
For the cheesecake filling:
- 16 ounces full fat cream cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup granulated erythritol sweetener
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 3 whole blackberries (optional for color)
For the blackberry swirl:
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blackberries
- 1 tablespoon granulated erythritol sweetener
Instructions
For the crust:
- Preheat the oven to 350° F.
- Combine the melted butter, almond flour, sweetener and lime zest in a medium sized bowl and mix well.
- Line 2 muffin pans with 16 liners.
- Spoon 2 tablespoons of crust into each liner.
- Press the crust firmly into the bottom of the liner, and up the sides about 1/2 inch.
- Bake the crusts for 8 minutes, then remove and cool for 2 – 3 minutes before filling.
For the cheesecake filling:
- Combine the cream cheese, eggs, sweetener, lime juice, and 3 blackberries in a blender and blend until smooth.
- Spoon filling into the cups to about 1/4 inch from the top.
For the blackberry swirl:
- Combine the blackberries and sweetener in a small blender cup and blend until mostly smooth.
- Pour the liquid into a small handheld strainer and use a rubber spatula to press it through, removing all of the seeds.
- Use a spoon to drop about 1/2 teaspoon worth of blackberry puree over the top of each cheesecake.
- Gently swirl through the circles of puree with a knife to distribute, but don’t over mix.
- Bake the cheesecakes at 350° F for 20 minutes, or until set.
- Remove from the oven and cool for 30 minutes
- Transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 3 hours or until firm.
- You can remove the cupcake liners immediately or leave them on until ready to serve.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
