Ingredients

Scale

1 cup (110g) fine almond flour
2 tablespoons (30g) unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons (25g) granulated erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
1/4 teaspoon salt
8 ounces (225g) full-fat cream cheese, softened to room temperature
2 tablespoons (30ml) heavy cream
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup (30g) confectioners’ keto sweetener
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup (120ml) sugar-free caramel sauce
Flaky sea salt (e.g., Maldon) for sprinkling
Optional: Keto-friendly dark chocolate chips

Instructions

In a small bowl, mix almond flour, melted butter, granulated sweetener, and salt until it resembles wet sand.
Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
Divide the crust mixture equally among the 12 cups, pressing firmly into the bottom and up the sides with the back of a measuring spoon.
In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
Add heavy cream, vanilla extract, powdered sweetener, and a pinch of salt. Beat on medium-high speed for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
Spoon the filling into each crust-lined cup, smoothing the top and leaving room for the drizzle.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until the filling is firm.
Warm the caramel sauce slightly (10-15 seconds in microwave) to make it pourable.
Place caramel in a piping bag or ziplock bag with a corner cut off and drizzle over each bite.
Immediately sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese is softened to room temperature to avoid lumps. Use powdered sweetener for the filling to prevent grittiness. Chill thoroughly for at least 1 hour. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
