Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Crust:
  • 1 ½ cups finely ground almond flour
  • 3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • For the Filling:
  • 16 oz full-fat cream cheese
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  • Make the crust by stirring together the almond flour, melted butter, maple syrup, and salt until it resembles wet sand. Press about 1 ½ tablespoons of this mixture firmly into the bottom of each prepared muffin cup.
  • Bake the crusts for 8-10 minutes, just until they look set and are slightly golden. Remove from the oven and let them cool while you make the filling.
  • In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until it's completely smooth and creamy.
  • Beat in the sugar until well combined, then add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition until just incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  • Mix in the vanilla extract and sour cream (or yogurt) until the batter is smooth and silky.
  • Divide the filling evenly among the muffin cups, filling each one nearly to the top.
  • Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers only have a slight jiggle.
  • Turn the oven off, crack the door open, and let the cheesecakes cool inside for 30 minutes.
  • Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.
