Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare a mini muffin tin with liners or nonstick cooking spray.
Make the Crust:
In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, almond flour, sugar substitute, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well until the ingredients form a crumb-like consistency. Press the mixture into the bottom of 6 cavities of your prepared muffin tin.
Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
Make the Cheesecake Filling:
In a large bowl, add the cream cheese and sour cream. Beat with an electric mixer until they form a smooth paste. Add the eggs and the vanilla extract and stir to combine. Add the sugar substitute and salt. Stir until the batter has a soft, even consistency.
Divide the batter evenly among the 6 crusts. Bake until the edges of each mini cheesecake appear set but the centers are a little jiggly when you shake the pan, about 20 minutes.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven. Let the cheesecakes cool at room temp for about 20 minutes. Then chill them in the fridge for at least 3 hours, or overnight.
Top and Serve the Mini Cheesecake Bites:
Once the mini cheesecakes have chilled, you can top them with berries or chopped nuts, if you like. Serve them cold.
