Mini Cheesecakes with Raspberry Sauce

These Keto Mini Cheesecakes with Raspberry Sauce are the ideal low-carb treat for anyone on a ketogenic diet. These bite-sized desserts don’t have the same guilt as classic cheesecakes, and they are rich, creamy, and flavorful. They are low in carbohydrates and sweetened with Erythritol with a smooth, velvety cream cheese filling and a buttery almond flour shell. The handmade raspberry sauce perfectly counterbalances the richness of the cheesecake with a zesty, fresh twist. Mini Cheesecakes with Raspberry Sauce are simple to eat without going overboard because each small cheesecake has a set portion size.

CHEESECAKE:

• One teaspoon vanilla extract

RASPBERRY SAUCE:

• 1 cup raspberries
• 2 tbsp. Erythritol powder
• 1 tbsp. Water
• ½ tsp. lemon zest

INGREDIENT NOTES:

ALMOND FLOUR:

• The crust has a soft texture and a nutty taste thanks to this keto-friendly flour substitute. Use almond flour that has been finely blanched for optimal results.

BUTTER:

• Adds depth and strengthens the crust’s cohesiveness while baking. Unsalted butter is the best choice for regulating the salt quantity.

CREAM CHEESE:

• The cheesecake filling will have a smooth, creamy texture because of full-fat cream cheese. Stay away from low-fat variants for the sake of keto compliance.

EGGS:

• The cheesecake mix is bound together and given structure by the eggs during baking. Eggs that are at room temperature combine more readily and have a smoother consistency.

ERYTHRITOL:

• A delicious raspberry sauce and silky cheesecake made with a sugar-free sweetener that dissolves easily. The use of a powder sweetener is to avoid the grainy texture.

VANILLA EXTRACT:

• It gives the cheesecake filling more depth and warmth. Use pure vanilla extract for optimal flavor.

LEMON JUICE:

• Add a zesty tang to counterbalance the cream cheese’s creaminess. Freshly squeezed juice is more effective than juice in a container.

RASPBERRIES:

• Give the sauce a bright hue and a natural tartness. This dish works nicely with either fresh or frozen berries.

LEMON ZEST:

• Add a zesty scent and a crisp taste to the raspberry sauce. Only use the outer peel to prevent bitterness.
