[bs_icon name=”glyphicon glyphicon-ok”] A few tips for making mini chocolate cheesecakes:
Although this is not a difficult recipe at all, I do have a few tips to ensure its success:
To ensure a smooth texture, all ingredients must be at room temperature, which is always the case when making cheesecakes.
One option is to remove the cream cheese and egg from the fridge two hours before you plan to start mixing the ingredients.
Alternatively, you can microwave the cream cheese for 30 seconds, and submerge the egg in warm water while you prep the ingredients.
Also similarly to other cheesecakes, they should be completely cool before you can enjoy them. Although – thankfully – there’s no need to refrigerate them.
They are perfect after cooling on a rack for about 2 hours (but sometimes I eat them after just 1.5 hours!)
Make sure that your cream cheese is thoroughly softened first so that your Keto Chocolate Cheesecake Muffins are nice and smooth before baking. I use real Philadelphia cream cheese for this recipe.
I believe it’s healthy for a dessert. When you eat these mini chocolate cheesecakes, you’re basically eating dark chocolate, cream cheese, and eggs. Plus stevia, which I believe is quite safe.

These little Keto Chocolate Cheesecake Muffins are as delicious as they look and they are the perfect way to satisfy cravings for a delicious and easy low carb dessert.
Ingredients
- 16 oz. Philadelphia cream cheese, room temperature
- ½ cup + 1 tsp powdered sweetener
- 2 eggs, room temperature
- 6 tbsp organic cacao powder
- ½ tsp Vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Soften cream cheese then beat with a mixer until smooth.
- Add all other ingredients to cream cheese and mix on medium/high until completely combined and the mixture is smooth.
- I recommend lining muffin tins with parchment paper muffin liners. You can find them here. Line 12 muffin tins with parchment paper muffin liners and pour equal amounts batter in each.
- Bake for 18 - 20 minutes. Do not overbake.
- Best served cold with a couple of fresh berries and a dollop of whipped topping.
Notes
Store the Keto Cheesecake Muffins in the fridge for 7-10 days in an airtight container.
And for toppings? Add some fun berries that are in season or some delicious homemade whipped cream. I prefer these Keto Chocolate Cheesecake Muffins with strawberries, Lily’s Chocolate Chips, and whipped cream. Truly, you can add whatever keto-friendly toppings that suit your taste.
