Low Carb Mini Cheesecakes

For my low carb birthday dinner we enjoyed these adorable Mini Cheesecakes. The taste was fantastic as was the creaminess. These cheesecakes get better and better in the refrigerator. In fact, by day three they were at their best. So creamy and delicious. This would be a great make ahead dessert if you are short on time.

I topped them with a single berry to be festive and for my kids to enjoy, but personally I just had mine with a spoonful of homemade whipped cream on top. I can’t rave enough about this recipe. It is wonderful. Keep reading for other garnish ideas that were a huge hit on these cheesecakes. Enjoy!

Garnish ideas: A spoonful of homemade whipped cream with a teaspoon (or two) of no-carb Blueberry or Strawberry Syrup. This was outstanding! It tasted like the real deal cheesecake to me.
