TOPPING(OPTIONAL):

- Cookie crumbs(keto)
- Almond butter drizzle

INGREDIENT NOTES:
SWEETENER(KETO):
- The recipe will include the brown keto sweetener in its powdered version of either the Swerve/Lakanto brand to mimic the traditional crust. Whereas, a normal white powdered keto sweetener will be used for the layer of cheesecake.
SPICES:
- The spices we have used here are cinnamon, nutmeg, & ginger. When combined, they will give you the closest flavor of biscoff cookies.
ALMOND FLOUR:
- This is the keto version that combines with brown keto sweetener to give you the closest feel of a graham cracker/cookie base that is the signature of regular cheesecakes. You may go for pecan flour instead of almond, or use the keto cookies(crushed).
CREAM(HEAVY):
- Using heavy cream along with cream cheese doubles the volume without making it too heavy. You may go for cream of coconut/Greek yogurt instead of cream(heavy).
CHEESE(CREAM):
- This is the base of every cheesecake, but if we use whole cream cheese, then it will increase the calorie count. So we have used the heavy cream along with it, which will make it light.

TIPS:
- You need to keep the cream cheese at a normal surrounding temperature immediately as you plan to use it. It will require ~thirty minutes to be able to give you a smooth cheesecake layer.
- It is all right to use a spoon to fill the jars with the cheesecake layer. We prefer to use the piping bag for filling of the serving jars to avoid mess.
- Chilling it will help you a lot to set its texture.
- To achieve that regular biscoff flavor with the lowest carbs possible, use the powdered combination of clove/nutmeg, ginger, and cinnamon.

FAQs:
Will any other flour work in place of the almond flour?

- You can prepare them earlier & can freely work on other tasks. Serve them chilled directly from the refrigerator at the time of serving.
