Keto Cheesecake Cupcakes

  • Difficulty: very easy, but must refrigerate for 8 hours before eating.
  • Print

Ingredients

    • 1/4 cup butter (melted)
    • 1/2 Almond Flour
    • 2 8 ounce cream cheese packages
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
    • 2 eggs
    • 3/4 cup Truvia Confectioners
    • cupcake wrappers
    • cupcake baking pan


Directions

    1. Melt butter and mix with almond flour.
    2. Spoon mixture into the cupcake wrappers. This will make a bottom crust so try to keep the mixture flat.
    3. Put both cream cheese packages, eggs, sweetener, and vanilla extract together in a bowl. Mix (an electric mixer will make it much easier) until smooth.
    4. Spoon the cream cheese mixture over the crust. Try to spread the mixture evenly between 12 cups.
    5. Preheat oven to 350° F and cook 15-20 minutes. The mixture should be reasonably “set” or firm in the middle before removing from the oven. See Note 1
    6. Once out of the oven, let cupcakes cool at room temperature until cool enough to handle.
    7. Add fruit on top of each cupcake if you desire.
    8. Refrigerate at least 8 hours before serving.


Note 1: The original recipe called for 15-17 minutes, but Nonna baked for 20 minutes. The middle should be reasonably firm. The middle does not need to pass the “toothpick” test (poke a toothpick in the middle and it comes out clean). However, neither should the middle jiggle when you wiggle the pan.

Mashed Cauliflower

Ingredients

      • 1 Cauliflower head
      • 1/2 to 1 stick of butter
      • Dan Pastorini’s Garlic and Herb Seasonings
      • Jacobsen Chili Salt
      • Gumbo Daddy Cajun Seasoning
      • Cheddar Cheese (shredded)
      • Bacon Bits (optional)
      • Cream Cheese (optional)

Directions

  1. Cut head of cauliflower into chunks and place in microwaveable bowl. Large chunks is fine.
  2. Cover bowl and microwave on high at 5 minute intervals. Check to see if the cauliflower is “mash-able”. If you can “mash” it, remove from microwave. If you can not mash it, microwave for another 5 minutes on high. Nonna microwaved for 15 minutes total checking every 5 minutes.
  3. Add 1/2 stick of butter, cheese, and seasonings. Mash. (See Note 1)
  4. If the cauliflower is too thick, add more butter. Nonna used an entire stick of butter for one head of cauliflower. You could add a little water if you desire (Nonna did not as she doesn’t like it too watery).
  5. Taste test. Add seasonings, cheese, bacon bits (optional), cream cheese (optional), as you see fit. Texture and taste are per your preferences. (See Note 2)

Note 1: Nonna mashed the cauliflower with a Nylon Masher. You can use a food processor if you desire. Nonna likes hers a little lumpy, thus, the hand masher.

Note 2: Other than the butter, there are no measurements. It depends on texture and taste. Start with less ingredients and add as you desire.
