Ingredients

Crust:
  • ⅓ cup unsweetened shredded coconut 25 grams
  • ⅓ cup chopped walnuts or pecans 40 grams
  • ⅓ cup sunflower seeds 50 grams
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon powder
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 1 tablespoon erythritol powdered sweetener (see note)
  • 1 tablespoon solid coconut oil
Cheesecake Layer:
  • 7 large frozen strawberries or fresh 200 grams
  • 1 (8 ounces/226 grams) container mascarpone cheese
  • ½ cup sour cream 125 grams
  • ½ cup erythritol powdered sweetener (see note) 75 grams

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Warm a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the coconut shreds, nuts, and seeds.
  2. Dry toast for about 3 minutes, stirring frequently or until golden brown. Stay with it because the nuts can burn quickly.
  3. Remove from stove, and while still warm, stir in the cinnamon powder, salt, sweetener, and oil. Set aside.
  4. Note: If you used half walnuts or pecans instead of chopped, break them further down with a wooden spoon in the skillet once they are nicely toasted.
  5. If using frozen strawberries, microwave them for 1 minute. Then place in a blender and blend until completely pureed. Set aside.
  6. Place mascarpone cheese and sour cream in a mixing bowl (of a stand mixer or use an electric hand mixer) and start mixing on medium speed.
  7. Gradually add the sweetener. Then gradually mix in the reserved pureed strawberries until completely incorporated.
  8. Keep mixing until the mascarpone cheese becomes a thicker mousse (about 4 to 5 minutes).
  9. Distribute the crust between 5 to 6 mini glasses. Set aside a little bit for garnish.
  10. Transfer the mascarpone mixture to a piping bag and pipe the cheesecake over the crust.
  11. Top with berries, fresh (chocolate) mint, and some of the reserved crust if desired.

Notes

  • Helpful Tips:
  • :
  • Keep an eye on the seeds and nuts when making the keto cheesecake crust. They can burn quickly, and it only takes minutes to become golden.
  • I usually use a stand mixer, which is easier, but you can also use a hand mixer (electric mixer).
  • Feel free to experiment with different flavors and toppings. You can use various berries or add other nuts.
  •  
  • Storage: 
  • : 
  • You can store these keto cheesecake cups in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Cover it with plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out or absorbing any odors from other foods in the fridge.
  • Or store the cheesecake mixture in an airtight container and assemble it when ready to serve. The toasted nuts can be made on the spot.
