This is an adaptation of a popular New York cheesecake recipe that I revised for low-carb diets. The crust is a little off because there's really no perfect substitute for graham cracker, but otherwise it tastes just like my favorite NY cheesecake. Enjoy!

This recipe was perfect! I did double the recipe for the crust I used 1 1/3 cup almond flour, 1/2 a teaspoon of cinnamon, 2 tablespoons of Swerve, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 5 tablespoons of butter. This was suggested by another reviewer I also pre-baked it at 350 for 7 minutes. I sprayed my muffin tin with coconut oil and that actually was an added bonus because you could have the crust with a hint of coconut flavor. Read More

I almost shed a tear when I tasted these. Outstanding recipe! If I hadnt made it myself I wouldn't believe it was keto. I turned them into cheesecake bites using a mini cupcake pan and here are the changes I made: Crust- I used 2/3 cup super fine almond flour, 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1 tablespoon of swerve, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract and half the amount of butter in the original recipe. Once mixed, spoon 1 teaspoon into the wells, press down and bake (without cheesecake mixture) for 7 minutes on 350. Take them out to cool while mixing cheesecake. The super fine almond flour yields a crust similar to a shortbread cookie without the chewy, nutty taste you get with almond meal. Note: You'll need to double the crust recipe if using super fine almond flour to accommodate the amount of filling. Cheesecake- No changes made. Read More

I follow this recipe and it ended up wonderful! The batter was a little sweeter than I wanted, so I added 1/2 a cup of cocoa powder and it ended up a favorite keto recipe. Read More
