KETO LEMON-BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE BITES

This recipe includes a keto lemon cheesecake and a lemon cookie-pecan crust. I topped the cheesecakes with a blueberry topping that I made with four ingredients and collagen peptides. I’m getting a head start on Thanksgiving Day game-planning (yes, I plan this early…it’s the Super Bowl of cooking so I decided to try a new dessert! I added some lemon to my cheesecake base recipe, created a sugarfree grainfree lemon cookie-pecan crust & topped these with my 4 ingredient blueberry compote.

Turn the oven to 300 degrees

Add all of the ingredients for the cheesecake to a stand mixer and blend until smooth

Divide the cheesecake mixture among the muffin tins

Add water to the bottom of a baking sheet – this is the water bath for the cheesecake
