Keto White Chocolate Lemon Cheesecakes are low carb, creamy, sweet, and tangy lemon mini cheesecakes with an almond flour crust and an optional homemade, white chocolate topping.
These mini cheesecakes are beyond delicious, and I would definitely put them in the best top 5 keto desserts I’ve ever made category!
All my family and guests went utterly nuts for them and had no idea they were low carb.
They are still excellent without the white chocolate topping if you don’t want to purchase the cocoa butter.
I, however, do think the homemade sugar-free white chocolate topping complimented the lemon cheesecake brilliantly and is well worth the extra effort.
The mini cheesecakes are much easier to make than you would think and will become a favorite for all lemon lovers!

Directions:
- Preheat oven to 300℉ (150℃) and grease 9 cups of a silicone muffin pan or use a metal muffin tin lined with 9 paper muffin cups and spray the cups with cooking spray.
- In a medium mixing bowl add the crust ingredients. Mix and smash with a fork until crumbled texture forms.
- Press about a tablespoon of crust mixture into the bottom of 9 of the muffin cups. Set aside.
- In a stand mixer or large mixing bowl with an electric hand mixer on medium speed beat 8 ounces of cream cheese and ⅓ cup powdered sweetener until creamy & blended.
- Add one egg to the cream cheese mixture and mix on low speed until just blended.
- Add lemon juice and finely grated lemon zest to the mixture and blend until smooth.
- Spoon about 2 ½ to 3 tablespoons of cream cheese mixture over each crust in the muffin cups.
- Bake cheesecakes for 25 to 30 minutes or until the filling looks set.
- Remove from oven and cool for 20 minutes.
- Refrigerate cheesecakes for about 1 hour.
- Making White Chocolate- Melt cocoa butter in a double boiler or in the microwave on the “melt” setting.
- Once melted remove from heat and add 1 ½ tablespoon powdered sweetener, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
- Drizzle the melted white chocolate mixture over each chilled cheesecake (white chocolate will firm quickly on the cheesecake). Use a butter knife to slide around the outer perimeter of the cheesecake to loosen and if you used a silicone pan then gently press the underside of the pan cups up with your thumb to release the cheesecake (if using a metal pan, then use the butter knife to gently lift the cheesecake out of the pan). Serve.
