If you’re like me, you’ve found that most of the keto dessert recipes online yield far too large an amount to actually eat. Sure, they’re great if your entire family is on a keto diet, but often times you’re baking a dessert for just yourself. That is why I decided to make this keto mini cheesecake recipe! My goal was to create a low-carb cheesecake recipe that was the perfect size for just one person.
I’m beyond excited to share this delicious recipe with all of you. It’s creamy, sweet, and has an amazing, crunchy, mock graham cracker crust. Each keto mini cheesecake yields 2 servings. Each serving contains roughly 353 calories, 35.21 grams of fat, 5 total carbs, and 3.62 net carbs. Net carbs are equated by subtracting fiber and erythritol from total carbs.
This is only the first of many miniature keto cheesecake recipes that I have up my sleeve. I plan on creating many types of keto desserts that are the perfect size for one serving, so be sure to keep checking in for new mini keto pies and mug cake recipes coming soon!
My favorite keto desserts are almost all made with cream cheese. Cream cheese blends well with keto friendly sweeteners and makes the desserts extra creamy. For more keto desserts made with cream cheese check out my blog post, 15 amazing keto desserts made with cream cheese!
