Ingredients
For the Cheesecake Filling
1 cup nonfat Greek plain yogurt
1 cup 2% cottage cheese
1/4 cup powdered Swerve/stevia or monk fruit
1 to 2 tsp cocoa powder
For the Crust
1 cup almond flour (lightly toasted till golden brown)
1/4 cup melted butter
1 to 2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup stevia/monk fruit
Pinch of salt
Instructions
Preparing the Crust
Toast Almond Flour: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the almond flour evenly on a baking sheet and toast it until it turns golden brown, usually around 5-7 minutes. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the toasted almond flour, melted butter, cinnamon, stevia/monk fruit, and a pinch of salt. Mix until well combined and the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Press Into Molds: Grease the bottom of mini jars/containers. Press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom of each jar/container to form an even layer. Set aside.
Making the Cheesecake Filling
Blend Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine the nonfat Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, powdered Swerve/stevia or monk fruit, and cocoa powder. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Taste and Adjust: Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness or cocoa flavor according to your preference by adding more sweetener or cocoa powder if needed.
Fill the Molds: Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crusts, dividing it evenly among the jars/containers.
Final Steps
Chill: Place the filled jars in the refrigerator and let them chill for at least 2-3 hours, or until set.
Serve: Once the cheesecakes are set they are ready to eat, serve chilled. You can garnish them with fresh berries, a sprinkle of cocoa powder, dark chocolate shavings or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat!
