Ingredients
  

  • Almond flour: For the crumbly “crust.”
  • Unsalted butter: Melted, to bind the crust.
  • Granulated erythritol or allulose: Keto sweetener for both crust and filling. Choose your favorite blend.
  • Cream cheese: Full-fat, softened to room temperature.
  • Heavy whipping cream: Whipped into the filling for a fluffy texture.
  • Vanilla extract: For warmth and flavor depth.
  • Lemon juice: Just a splash to brighten the cheesecake.
  • Fresh strawberries: For the sauce and topping.
  • Powdered erythritol or allulose: To sweeten the strawberry sauce smoothly.
  • Pinch of salt: Brings the flavors together.
  • Optional: A few drops of liquid stevia to fine-tune sweetness.

Method
 

  1. Make the crust: In a bowl, mix 1 cup almond flour, 2 tablespoons granulated keto sweetener, a pinch of salt, and 3 tablespoons melted butter. Stir until it clumps like wet sand.
  2. Portion the crust: Spoon the mixture into 6 small jars or cups (4–6 ounces each). Press gently to form a base. Set aside.
  3. Prepare the strawberry sauce: In a small saucepan, add 1 cup chopped strawberries, 2–3 tablespoons powdered keto sweetener, and 1 tablespoon water. Cook over medium heat for 4–6 minutes until juicy and slightly thick. Mash lightly. Let it cool completely.
  4. Whip the cream: In a chilled bowl, whip 1/2 cup heavy cream to soft peaks. Set aside.
  5. Make the cheesecake filling: In another bowl, beat 8 ounces softened cream cheese with 1/4 cup powdered keto sweetener, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and 1–2 teaspoons lemon juice until smooth and fluffy.
  6. Fold it together: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and airy. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed with a little extra powdered sweetener or a couple drops of stevia.
  7. Assemble: Add a layer of cheesecake filling over the crust in each cup. Spoon on a little strawberry sauce. Add another layer of filling and finish with more sauce on top. Swirl with a toothpick if you like.
  8. Chill: Refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours to set. The texture improves as it chills.
  9. Garnish and serve: Top with sliced fresh strawberries and a tiny pinch of lemon zest if you want extra brightness.
