Description
Delightful sugar-free mini lemon cheesecake cups with a creamy filling and buttery crust, perfect for guilt-free indulgence.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sugar-free graham cracker crumbs
- 3 tbsp melted butter
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar-free sweetener
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar-free sweetener
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- Extra whipped cream, lemon slices, lemon zest (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a large bowl, combine the sugar-free graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar-free sweetener. Mix until well integrated, then press it firmly into the bottom of mini dessert cups.
- Make the cheesecake filling: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sweetener, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract, mixing until ultra-smooth.
- Fold in whipped cream: Whip the heavy cream in a separate bowl until stiff peaks form. Gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture to maintain airiness.
- Assemble and chill: Spoon the filling over the crusts in the cups, smooth the tops, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
- Garnish and serve: Before serving, add a dollop of whipped cream, a slice of lemon, or a sprinkle of lemon zest for presentation.
Notes
Chill for maximum flavor infusion. These cups can be made a day in advance.
