Traditionally in my circle of friends if you have a birthday I will make you a dessert of your choosing. This is the first birthday that has come up since I gave up gluten and carbs. Keto Cheesecake Cupcakes.
Servings: 12
105 calories
1 g of carbs
10 g of fat
4 g of protein
Ingredients
- 1/2 stick of butter
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 2 8 oz packages of softned cream cheese
- 3/4 cup of splenda
- 1 tsp vanilla
Frosting
Cream Cheese Frosting-Optional
Instructions
- Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees.
- The first thing I did was melt the butter for the crust.When the butter is melted stir in the almond flour, you should end up with a nice consistency.
- Place a small amount in the bottom of your cupcake liner and pat down to form the crust.
- Next I started cheesecake filling in my stand mixer add the cream cheese, eggs, splenda, and vanilla to the bowl and mix on medium speed until the mixture is smooth.
- When the filling is nice and smooth fill the cupcake liners almost to the top.Bake in the oven for 15-17 minutes.
- Cool on the counter then chill overnight for an awesome treat.
- Enjoy!
It could be simpler.

The recipe sounds great but you don’t have printed how many eggs you need… So how many eggs are needed ? Please and thank you
It tells you on the recipe…2 eggs
I just made these 😋 Thank You for the recipe . I cooked them for 20 min because of the comments and I doubled the crust . Wow , I couldn’t wait and had a bite before I refrigerated them !! Absolutely delicious ! Makes this diet fun !! lol
I made 1/2 the recipe does that mean it has 1/2 the carbs ??
No,dear Dina.Carbs are count towards servicing.If you eat half a cup, instead of one whole, then it’s just as you think.
I do not recommend counting calories.
In the oven now… made caramel pecan pralines to go on top 🙂 I have been dying for something sweet! Week 2 of keto
I made these and they taste awesome! I did add crushed pecans in my crust and sprinkled some on top.
Bravo,Pam.Enjoy.
Hello, what is the icing show in the photo and can I use almond flr instead of meal?
Yes.
what is splenda?
Sweetener.You can also use some other.
what are the total carbs per cupcake?
ZZK does not recommend calorie counting. Carbon below 20.Enjoy.
Where is the recipe for the icing shown in the picture?

Can we use swerve sweeter instead?
Yes.
This is awesome 🙂
I made these today and they are great! I did have to cook them longer than 17 minutes but that may be because I used silicone baking cups in my pan. Love them!,
Ah these look amazing! 🥰😍
I don’t do Splenda…..can I just do raw sugar?
Yes, but then it’s not keto.
it’s not keto with splenda either
Good but a little too much butter in crust. I made half like the recipe and added chocolate cocoa powder for my chocolate cravings to the other half. Both good!
These are great. I used 1/2 cup powdered Swerve and 1/4c cacoa powder in the cheesecake part instead of the Splenda.
I’m allergic to nuts can I use coconut flour instead of almond flour
Yes.
I made it and it was delicious. I have to say that it does not look caky like the picture. More like a cheesecake texture but delicious. It is the perfect consistency and sweetness. Also, I used the 1/2 stick of butter and it was on point. I also have to say that it took like 30 minutes to bake. The crust didn’t burn, 15 minutes is too short especially that it has egg in it! Thank you recipe
Has anyone tried with coconut flour? What’s the substitution ratio?!
I made them they came out more like a cheesecake then a cupcake
There was no recipe for the frosting ?
But they were still very good
These look amazing and I can’t wait to try them! I just bought all the ingredients at the store except for the icing what are the ingredients in the icing??
I had my doubts but these are DELICIOUS! I FOUND I HAD TO DOUBLE THE CRUST AS THE FILLING WAS WAY TO MUCH! All to our advantage!
Made this tonight and instead of the icing, I added a dollop of whipped topping, excellent! Nice light dessert!
How many eggs.? Was not on the ingreadant list ..
Looks delicious !!
I just have these in the oven, just wanted to know if they are meant to be regular size cupcakes or mini ones, there didn’t seem to be enough base foe regular but then had too much filling
Thank you so very much for taking the time and effort to share these delicious treats with us!!
You very welcome,Jan.
I use pyure in place of Splenda. Will that still work? I’d assume any sugar replacement works right? P.S. These look DELICIOUS!
You have to try it. I’m experimenting until I get what I’m doing.
Can you substitute coconut flour for the almond flour?
You have to try it. I’m experimenting until I get what I’m doing.
Splenda is not good for Keto or low carb. It spikes your blood sugar and is a neurotoxin. An Erythritol and/or stevia mixture is better.
Thanks,Sarah.
I don’t have Erythritolcan I just use Stevia?
Try and let me know how it works.
I have made these several times lately. I have to cook longer, but they still collapse when they’re cooling. Don’t look like the picture. What am I doing wrong?
I do not know, 5 million people are happy with this recipe.You have the right ingredients?
Could it have something to do with high altitude?
Oven to hot.
I used lemon extract instead of vanilla. Also used Swerve sweetener. Had to bake at least 30min and used silicone baking cups. They looked nothing like the photo, however, they tasted great!!! The whole fam loved them. Will definitely make again.
Hi! New to Keto and am curious regarding carb count on these delicious little cheesecakes. By counting carb content of ingredients I come up with 3.2 carbs per cake without icing and 6 with icing. Where am I going wrong? Thanks
ditto
In case some wants to know, this recipe makes. I got 12. I did take someone’s advice and doubled the crust.
In the oven now…can’t wait!
Hi just love the cheese cakes that you make are they keto diet friendly or not for keto diet please thank you bye.
Real keto,dear Diane. Enjoy.
These are delicious ! I like the idea of having them made for times I might want a snack. Can these be frozen and pulled out one to 2 at a time?
I just made these 😋 Thank You for the recipe . I cooked them for 20 min because of the comments and I doubled the crust . Wow , I couldn’t wait and had a bite before I refrigerated them !! Absolutely delicious ! Makes this diet fun !! lol
Enjoy,Debbie.
They tasted fantastic, but they fell☹️Any suggestions??
Dear Kim,try again. Follow instructions.Make sure you have right ingredients.
I’m wondering if the problem some people seem to be having is the size of eggs they’re buying and whether their almond flour is a very fine ground or the more coarse ground which is more common?
It’s important to have the right ingredients. Use eggs at room temperature.
Which almond flour is best for this recipe fine ground or coarse ground?
Try both, and you’ll see. I often experiment and this is how I come up with new recipes.
I use Lakanto classic sweetener
I am so addicted to these cheesecake cupcakes! Absolutely great recipe! My question is how come the middle sinks as the cupcakes cool down? I did bake about 20 minutes and I use a convection oven which means the cupcakes would bake faster than a conventional oven. I use the pure cane sugar versus splenda. Any help is appreciated!
It is very important to use the ingredients from the recipe and follow the instructions.
This is one of the best deserts on the Keto Diet. I only made 4 which is half the receipe….but you better believe I will make the whole receipe tonite! They are so good..no need to frost.
Thanks,Sandy.Enjoy.
Yum – thank you! The hardest part of Keto is no desserts…my endocrinologist prefers me to use Splenda and the other sugar subs hurt my stomach or have that cooling effect so I am in love with this recipe!!! No frosting even!
I have made these twice now and LOVE them. My new go to fat bomb. THANK YOU!
This is what I did for 12
Crust
1 stick of butter (1/2 cup) (salted or not, both are good)
1 cup almond flour
Filling
1 1/2 packages of 8 oz great value Walmart cream cheese (it’s cheaper)
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup monkfruit and erythritol sweetener
A little under 2 eggs
Cook for 20 m on 350°
I love people who like to experiment. Bravo,Kyrie.
Hi, kind of new to Keto. Not very good when it comes to cooking. 😕 I purchased the Swerve confectioners sugar would this be ok in place of Splenda? If so, how much? Also, how do you know when they are done, tooth pic? Reading how some people are having a problem with them sinking in the center I know I will most likely encounter this. Anyone know why it’s happening?
Thank you for sharing this recipe and to those with their suggestions. I look forward to trying them.
Please follow the instructions and make sure you have right ingredients I wrote in the recipe.Other way do not work.
