We created this simple lemon cheesecake filling recipe and decided to use pecan nuts for a gluten-free approved base.

Gluten-free desserts are what makes a healthier lifestyle completely sustainable. By making smart ingredient swaps, you can still enjoy all your favorite desserts!

Our mini cheesecakes with no base, (a traditional base that is), is made using a low carb cheesecake base prepared with crushed pecan nuts.

Any good cheesecake starts with a good base, and this cheesecake base is not only easy but also delicious and since it’s made with pecan nuts, it adds delicious depth of flavor as well.

Ingredients to Make No Bake Mini Cheesecakes:

  • Pecans
  • Butter
  • Honey
  • Cream cheese
  • Lemon juice

How To Make No Bake Mini Cheesecakes:

  1. Add the pecans, honey and melted butter to your food processor and blitz until it is relatively smooth. This is a personal preference of course. You can leave it chunkier if you want more of a contrast in texture between the keto cheesecake filling and the base.
  2. Use about a teaspoon of base per cupcake liner and pressed it down. Chill while making the filling.
  3. Beat together the cream cheese, lemon juice and honey with a hand mixer or you can throw it back in your food processor.
  4. Use a spoon or a pipping bag to add a small amount of filling to each pecan crust. Garnish with lemon zest. Chill for at least two hours before serving.

The reason I like to serve this recipe in mini servings is because a smaller portion is so much better for you. You get to have a delicious dessert in a tiny, but satisfying bite to get rid of the sweets craving, all while still keeping things low on the calorie and carb count.

Even if you indulge in a mini cheesecake, you’re still low on the calorie and carb counts. Considering the fact that we’re talking about a delicious dessert!

No Bake Mini Cheesecakes

This is an easy recipe for mini cheesecake bites. Only 7 simple ingredients and 15 minutes needed to prepare this delicious healthy dessert. Gluten-Free. Low Carb.
Prep Time 10 minutes
Chill Time 2 hours
Total Time 2 hours 10 minutes
Serving Size 12 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 cup pecans
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • lemon zest

Instructions

  • Add the ingredients for the crust to a food processor and blend until relatively smooth. You can also leave it chunkier if you desire.
  • Use a rubber spatula to scrape out the pecan crust as well as you can.
  • Now, add the ingredients for the cheesecake filling to the same processor and blend until well combined. (I zest one lemon and use half of the zest in the filling, and the other half as garnish).
  • Divide the base mix evenly between your vessels of choice. (We use 1” mini cupcake liners). Press it down with your fingers or a spoon until flat.
  • Use two spoons or a piping bag to top the pecan base with the cheesecake filling.

Notes

  • I like to keep these bites in a container in the freezer and take it out about 10 minutes before serving.
  • To make a full size cheesecake, double the recipe for the filling and the crust.
