Ingredients
  

Cheesecake Crust:

  • ½ cup macadamia nuts
  • ¼ cup erythritol
  • ½ cup almond flour
  • ¼ cup butter chilled
  • 1 large egg yolk

Key Lime Filling:

  • 8 ounce cream cheese softened
  • ¼ cup butter softened
  • 2 large egg
  • ¼ cup erythritol
  • ¼ teaspoon liquid stevia
  • 2 tablespoon key lime zest
  • 2 tablespoon key lime juice ~2 limes

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Add the macadamia nuts to a food processor.
  • Grind the nuts into a coarse meal and add the erythritol.
  • Pulse for a few moments and then add the almond flour. Pulse again until well combined.
  • Cube the chilled butter and add it to the food processor. Pulse again until the mixture is beginning to clump.
  • Add the egg yolk and pulse again until the dough is beginning to clump.
  • Remove the dough from the food processor and knead together.
  • Using silicone cupcake molds (or just a regular greased cupcake tin), fill the wells about 1/8 to 1/4 of the way full.
  • Bake for 5–7 minutes. The crusts will still look greasy and undercooked when taken out. Leave oven on.
  • While the crust is baking, prepare the filling. Beat together the cream cheese and butter.
  • Add the eggs and mix to combine.
  • Add the erythritol and liquid stevia and mix to combine.
  • Finally, add in the lime zest and lime juice. Mix again until fully combined.
  • Once the crusts are out of the oven, let cool for about 3–5 minutes, and then pour the cheesecake mixture into the molds. Leave a little space at the top to prevent them from spilling over as they rise.
  • Bake for 30–35 minutes.
  • Cool the cheesecakes for 20–30 minutes and store in the fridge overnight.
  • Serve and enjoy!
