Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar-free sweetener (erythritol or monk fruit blend)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar-free sweetener
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sugar-free dark chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon butter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, sugar-free sweetener, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and almond milk.
- Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until a smooth batter forms.
- Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about one-third full.
- In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese and powdered sweetener until smooth.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until creamy.
- Spoon the cheesecake mixture evenly over the cake batter in each liner.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes until the centers are set and edges are lightly golden.
- Allow cupcakes to cool completely.
- Heat the heavy cream until warm but not boiling and pour it over the chocolate chips.
- Let sit for 1 minute, then stir until smooth and mix in the butter.
- Spoon or drizzle the ganache over the cooled cupcakes and allow it to set before serving.
Notes
- Use room temperature cream cheese to prevent lumps.
- Allow cupcakes to cool completely before adding ganache.
- Powdered sweetener blends smoothly into the cheesecake layer.
- Chilling the cupcakes enhances the cheesecake texture.
- Additional toppings like sugar-free whipped cream or chocolate shavings can be added.
