- Heat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and spray or line a 12-cup muffin tin. Stir the almond flour, granular sweetener, a pinch of salt and the melted butter together for the crust. 0:37
- Divide the crust mixture evenly between the cups and press it into the bottoms with your fingers. 1:04
- For the filling, beat the very soft cream cheese, egg, sour cream, powdered sweetener and vanilla with a hand mixer until smooth. 1:36
- Spoon about 2 tbsp of filling into each cup over the crust and bake for 18–20 minutes. 2:26
- Let them cool, then chill for at least 3 hours to set (or use the freezer to speed it up). Peel off the liners to serve. 3:00
Tip. They keep well in the freezer, so you can take one out whenever you want a sweet treat.

Magnesium7%
31 mg a serve, mostly from almond flour (91%). Takes part in hundreds of reactions — energy, muscles, nerves, blood sugar and bones. Nuts, seeds, legumes and whole grains are good sources.
Selenium7%
3.6 µg a serve, mostly from cream cheese (45%). Part of the body's antioxidant enzymes and needed for thyroid hormones. Seafood, eggs, meat and Brazil nuts are rich sources.
Omega-36%
0.1 g a serve, mostly from cream cheese (63%). Omega-3 fats support the heart and brain. Oily fish give EPA and DHA; walnuts, flax, chia and canola give ALA, which the body converts only a little.
Vitamin B125%
0.1 µg a serve, mostly from egg (42%). Keeps nerves and blood cells healthy. Found almost only in animal foods and fortified foods (some plant milks, nutritional yeast), so vegans need a reliable source.
Calcium4%
55 mg a serve, mostly from almond flour (51%). Builds bones and teeth and helps muscles and nerves work. Dairy, calcium-set tofu, sardines with their bones and some greens supply it.
Zinc4%
0.5 mg a serve, mostly from almond flour (67%). Needed for immunity, wound healing, taste and growth. Meat, seafood, legumes, seeds and whole grains supply it.
Iron3%
0.5 mg a serve, mostly from almond flour (75%). Carries oxygen in your blood. Iron from plants absorbs better with vitamin C in the same meal — lemon, tomato or capsicum.
Potassium2%
120 mg a serve, mostly from almond flour (66%). Balances sodium to help control blood pressure and keeps muscles and nerves working. Beans, potatoes, leafy greens and fruit are rich sources.
Vitamin D2%
0.3 µg a serve, mostly from cream cheese (37%). Helps you absorb calcium for bones and supports muscles. Few foods have much — oily fish, eggs, UV-exposed mushrooms, fortified milks. Sunlight is the main source.
Folate2%
8.8 µg a serve, mostly from almond flour (52%). Needed to make DNA and new cells — especially important before and in early pregnancy. Legumes and leafy greens are rich sources.
Vitamin B62%
0 mg a serve, mostly from almond flour (46%). Helps turn food into energy and make brain messengers. Chickpeas, fish, poultry, potatoes and bananas are good sources.
Vitamin K1%
1 µg a serve, mostly from butter (43%). Needed for blood clotting and bones. Leafy greens and herbs are very rich in it. If you take warfarin, keep your intake steady and talk to your doctor.
Vitamin C0%
0 mg a serve, mostly from sour cream (100%). An antioxidant needed for collagen, immunity and iron absorption. Long cooking destroys some, so raw herbs, citrus and capsicum help.
