Ingredients
  

  • For the crust:
  • Almond flour
  • Unsalted butter
  • Granulated erythritol or allulose (keto sweetener)
  • Ground cinnamon (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • For the filling:
  • Cream cheese, softened
  • Heavy whipping cream
  • Powdered erythritol or allulose (for a smooth texture)
  • Pure vanilla extract
  • Lemon juice and zest
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional toppings:
  • Fresh raspberries, strawberries, or blueberries (in moderation)
  • Sugar-free chocolate shavings or cocoa powder
  • Toasted coconut flakes (unsweetened)
  • Chopped nuts: pecans, walnuts, or almonds
  • Equipment: 6–8 small mason jars (4–8 oz), mixing bowls, hand mixer or stand mixer, spatula

Method
 

  1. Prep the jars: Make sure your mason jars are clean and dry. Set them on a tray for easy transport to the fridge.
  2. Mix the crust: In a bowl, combine almond flour, a pinch of salt, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and granulated sweetener to taste. Stir in melted butter until it resembles damp sand.
  3. Press the crust: Divide the crust mixture among the jars and press down gently with the back of a spoon. Aim for a thin, even layer—about 1 to 2 tablespoons per jar. Place jars in the fridge to firm while you make the filling.
  4. Whip the cream: In a cold bowl, whip heavy cream to soft peaks. Set aside. This will lighten the filling without adding air bubbles that collapse.
  5. Beat the cream cheese: In a separate bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sweetener until smooth and fluffy, about 1–2 minutes. No lumps should remain.
  6. Add flavor: Beat in vanilla, lemon juice, and a bit of zest. Taste and adjust sweetness or lemon to your liking.
  7. Fold in the cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture in two additions. Stop as soon as it’s smooth and creamy.
  8. Fill the jars: Spoon or pipe the filling over the crusts. Smooth the tops with a spoon. You can also swirl in a teaspoon of mashed berries or a dusting of cocoa if you like.
  9. Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours, or overnight for the best set and flavor.
  10. Garnish and serve: Top with a few fresh berries, a sprinkle of nuts, or shaved sugar-free chocolate. Enjoy straight from the jar.
