Total Time 15 minutes
Servings: 6 servings

Ingredients
  

  • For the crust:
  • 1 1/2 cups fine almond flour
  • 3 tablespoons powdered erythritol or allulose (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the cream filling:
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1/3 to 1/2 cup powdered erythritol or allulose (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest (optional, but brightens the flavor)
  • Pinch of salt
  • For the strawberry layer:
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, diced small
  • 1–2 tablespoons powdered sweetener (optional, depending on berry sweetness)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

  • Extra sliced strawberries for garnish
  • Shaved sugar-free chocolate or a sprinkle of toasted sliced almonds
  • Fresh mint leaves

Method
 

  1. Prep the cups: Set out 6–8 small jars, glasses, or ramekins. Aim for 1/2-cup to 3/4-cup capacity per serving.
  2. Make the crust: In a bowl, mix almond flour, powdered sweetener, cinnamon, and salt. Stir in melted butter and vanilla until the mixture looks like damp sand and holds when pressed.
  3. Press and chill: Divide the crust evenly among the cups. Press down firmly with the back of a spoon to create a compact base. Chill in the fridge while you make the filling.
  4. Whip the cream: In a cold bowl, whip the heavy cream to medium peaks. Set aside.
  5. Make the cream cheese mixture: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sweetener, vanilla, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt until smooth and fluffy, about 1–2 minutes.
  6. Fold together: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture in two additions until smooth and airy. Don’t overmix.
  7. Mix the strawberries: In a small bowl, toss the diced strawberries with lemon juice and sweetener if needed. Taste and adjust sweetness.
  8. Assemble: Spoon or pipe the cream filling over the chilled crusts, leaving a little room at the top. Spoon the strawberry mixture over the cream layer.
  9. Chill to set: Refrigerate at least 1–2 hours for a firmer set. For a quicker set, 30–45 minutes works, but the texture will be softer.
  10. Garnish and serve: Top with extra strawberry slices, mint, or shaved sugar-free chocolate. Serve chilled.
