Equipment
Ingredients
- 100 g / 1 cup almond flour or ground almonds
- 50 g / ½ cup coconut flour
- 60 g / ¼ cup softened butter
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 5 tablespoon granulated sweetener
- 2 cups / 500g full fat cream cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup / 120g raspberries plus a few more to decorate
- 2 tablespoon water
- pinch xanthan gum
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 160 Celsius.
- Mix the ground almonds and coconut flour with 1 tablespoon Natvia, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and the softened butter until you have a ball of dough. Set aside.
- Mix the cream cheese with the eggs, the remaining 4 tablespoon of sweetener and the other 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence.
- Heat the raspberries (you can use frozen or fresh) with 2 tablespoon water in a small pot and cook on a low heat for ca 5 minutes until you have a thick sauce. Take off the heat and stir in a pinch of xanthan gum. This is a thickener - so if you do not have xanthan gum, make sure you reduce the liquid in the raspberries by as much as possible (without burning them!)
- Now you assemble the mini cakes: Form small disks in your hands and press them firmly into the bottom of the muffin pan.
- Next, spoon the raspberry sauce on the dough base and then pour in the cheesecake mix.
- Stir a little to get some of the sauce to the top, but be careful not to over-stir. It will still taste great, but not look as pretty. Dot any remnants of the raspberry sauce on the top.
- Bake ca 45 minutes until the top of the cakes is firm. The center will still be jiggly.
Notes
Cool to room temperature, then put the muffin tin in the fridge and wait until the cakes are cold. Only then remove them from the mould.
