Mini Gluten-free Cheesecakes (super creamy, fantastic crust!)

These mini gluten-free cheesecakes are perfect for when you don’t need a full cheesecake! They’re so much easier and they freeze great. They’re also grain-free. Perfect for Mother’s Day, the 4th of July and parties.

First us all – sorry to my vegan + paleo readers! These mini cheesecakes aren’t for you. But I’ve got you covered with these options.

As much as I love cheesecake, I rarely make them. At least not the full-sized ones.

If I made a cheesecake just for the heck of it, I’d eat it all. I used to make them for parties and get-togethers but when you don’t have a car, those things get heavy after about 10 minutes of walking.

Not only that, but full-sized cheesecakes are so fussy. I almost always mess them up.

But mini cheesecakes? They’re pretty difficult to ruin as long as you don’t forget to line the muffin pan with muffin liners, which I may or may not have done the first time.

Also, these mini cheesecakes freeze wonderfully well! They taste just as good post-freezing so you could even make them ahead of time if you’ve got room in your freezer.

By the way, I’m totally in awe of anyone with space in their freezer. I think there must be a defective gene in my family because ours are always packed. Always!

As far as grain-free crusts go, I think this one is pretty awesome. Pre-baking them prevents a soggy crust, which seems all too common in grain-free and gluten-free almond flour-based crusts.

After baking the cheesecakes, the crust isn’t exactly crisp, but it’s far from soggy!

If you don’t want to use almond flour, use any nut flour or nut meal you’d like. I’ve tried hazelnut meal and that was delicious.

Then I tried making a chocolate hazelnut version by adding some cocoa powder to the cheesecake filling. That sounded like such a simple change but it came out horribly. Definitely don’t do that.

For another alternative – I haven’t tried them but I think these Mango Cheesecake Bites look fantastic!

Almond flour, sugar and butter on their own don’t taste all that exciting so I added some lemon zest to liven up the crust. If you don’t want to use lemon zest, add some lime zest, almond extract, or something. These mini cheesecakes just aren’t the same without it!

If you’re not trying to impress anyone with your dainty cheesecakes, I suggest drowning these mini cheesecakes in this honey sweetened strawberry sauce. It’s delicious, just not so pretty. Though I suppose you could smash / puree the strawberries first a bit to make it look nicer.

This rhubarb compote would also be a wonderful choice for spring. As would this strawberry compote!

This blueberry sauce, sweetened with maple syrup, would also be awesome on top of these mini cheesecakes.

These mini gluten-free cheesecakes are perfect for when you don't need a full cheesecake! They're so much easier and they freeze great.

If you live outside of North America, you might have wondered why cream cheese-based recipes often don’t come out correctly. That’s because the cream cheese sold elsewhere (at least in Europe), has extra whey in it so it’s softer and can be spread on bread.

So if you don’t have American style brick cream cheese (that comes wrapped in a foil package in a little box), then get 600 grams of cream cheese, place it in the center of a cheesecloth or tea towel, and wring out the liquid until you have 450 grams of cream cheese left.

The big packages sold at Aldi, Lidl, etc. are 300 grams so it’s perfect! Get 2 packages for this recipe.

Prefer a no-bake version? These Mini Gluten-Free No-Bake Cheesecakes with Chocolate Chip Cookie Crust look pretty awesome! And so very easy. And for something keto, try these keto cheesecake bites. This keto blueberry cheesecake also looks great.

Mini Gluten-free Cheesecakes (super creamy, fantastic crust!)
  • Prep Time:
  • Cook Time:
  • Ready in:
  • Yield: 12

Ingredients

    For the crust:

  • 1 1/4 cups (125 grams) blanched almond flour1
  • 1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated sugar or raw sugar
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 3 tablespoons (42 grams) unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
  • For the filling:

  • 1 pound (450 grams) cream cheese2
  • 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar or raw sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt
  • 2 large (50 grams each, out of shell) eggs, room temperature
  • For decoration:

  • berries and powdered sugar, optional

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 °F (175 °C). Line a muffin pan with 12 muffin liners.
  2. Prepare the crust. In a medium mixing bowl, stir together all the dry ingredients, then stir in the butter and mix until thoroughly combined.
  3. Divide the mixture between the liners (18 grams or 3 1/2 teaspoons of mixture per liner) and lightly press down with the bottom of a shot glass.
  4. Bake for 10 minutes or until very lightly browned.
  5. Remove from the oven and cool for at least 10 minutes while preparing the filling.
  6. Using an electric hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the beater attachment, beat the cream cheese and sugar at medium speed until light and creamy. Add the vanilla and salt and beat until combined. Beat in the eggs on low, one at a time, and just until well incorporated. Do not over mix!
  7. Fill each liner about 2/3 full with the batter and bake for 10 minutes or until the centers of the cheesecakes don't jiggle when the pan is tapped. Open the oven door (at least 1 foot wide) and let the cheesecakes cool to room temperature - about 1 1/2 hours. For easiest removal, remove the paper liners now. They can also be removed after chilling, though a little more cheesecake may stick to the liners then.
  8. Chill for at least 2 hours before serving. Decorate with berries and dust with powdered sugar, if desired. Refrigerate for up to 4 days.

Notes

  1. If you don't want to use an almond flour-based crust, you can use:
    – 1 cup (113 grams) GF graham cracker crumbs (or digestives)
    – 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
    – 3 1/2 tablespoons (49 grams) butter, melted
    – pinch of salt

    Preheat oven to 325 °F (163 °C). Line a standard-size muffin tin with 12 cupcake liners.

    In a large mixing bowl, stir together the crumbs, sugar and salt.

    Stir in the butter until combined.

    Divide the crust mixture between the 12 liners and firmly press it down.

    Bake for 5 minutes or until lightly golden. Go to Step 5 above.

  2. If you live outside of North America and don't have American style brick cream cheese (that comes wrapped in a foil package in a little box), then get 600 grams of cream cheese, place it in the center of a cheesecloth or tea towel, and wring out the liquid until you have 450 grams of cream cheese left.

    Has anyone made the crust with lime zest instead of lemon? Or orange? What about putting a little of the juice into the cheesecake itself? Would that mess it up? The crust recipe tastes better than graham crackers and is lower carb (sugar still a problem but I like to cut carbs where I can). I made these for my son’s birthday because one of the friends needs to be GF along with a non gf pumpkin cheesecake. Everyone gobbled up these GF ones and said that they were the best cheesecake they ever had!

      I think you could use any type of zest with good results. I wouldn’t add juice to the cheesecake batter because you’d throw off the proportions. I’m so glad that everyone enjoyed them! Thanks so much for your feedback. :)

    Can you advise the best way to freeze these? Leave the liners on or take them off? In a container or ziplock bag? Wrapped in plastic wrap, wax, foil? Want to make sure I freeze these properly without any mishaps.

      I’m so sorry for just now seeing this! I realize I’m too late now but in case anyone else is wondering – it’s really up to you. If you leave the liners on, then the crust is more protected. But you don’t have to keep them on. I put them in Ziplocs but containers work fine. If you want to wrap them up before placing in the bag/container, you can, but I don’t bother as they don’t last long enough for it to matter. Sorry again!

    This is such a great recipe! I made these for a large group and everyone loved them. The crust is great and I love the subtle almond flavor. I chose this recipe because I have a gluten free friend, but even if I choose to make them with a different crust for myself I will always use this recipe for the filling. They came out perfect with no cracking and were nice and smooth. Thank you so much for the recipe!

    Haven’t tried these yet. I am wondering if anyone has used Monkfruit sweetner(Erythritol and Monkfruit extract)? I have tried using it in cakes and cookies and it definitely changes the texture. I wonder if it would change the texture of something more creamy?

    My husband’s favorite dessert is cheesecake. That being said I have been to scared to try making it. This recipe was very easy. I do have a couple of questions. When mixing filling is the batter still lumpy? #2 mine came out sticky, could it be because I used the Greek cream cheese? It’s not as fatty. I am anxious to try the Irish fill next time. They taste good just not very pretty. 😟

      The batter shouldn’t be lumpy. I haven’t tried Greek cream cheese but maybe that was indeed the issue? I just updated the photos yesterday (or maybe the day before) and think these cheesecakes are pretty so I’m curious what went wrong! Perhaps you could try normal cream cheese next time? That could have an effect on the texture, which might have resulted in cracks.

    I made these using cup for cup gluten free flour, however my crust didn’t seem to bind when mixed with the butter. Can u add a little more butter, I am assuming the crust should come together not still look like flour when mixed, correct? I would have loved to have seen a picture of the crust mix. I don’t make a whole lot of homemade crusts. The filling is delicious though!!

      I’m sorry for just now seeing your comment! (my son and I have been sick for weeks). So you used a gluten-free flour blend in place of almond flour? The two aren’t at all interchangeable so that’s why that didn’t work. :( You can only sub other nut flours / meals for almond flour. The crust shouldn’t look like flour once mixed up. More like a graham cracker crust, if you’ve made that before. I’m happy you liked the filling!

    The cheesecakes were moist and delicious. I loved them and so did my family. We had such a fun time baking them. We had to put the crust in for another five minutes but other wise they were magnificent. We put berries on top and refrigerated them for a couple days and they turned out fantastically well. I give this five stars.

    I want to confirm that you use a regular size muffin pan and not the mini pan. Is that correct?

    Also, if I freeze them, should I thaw in the fridge the night before? What would you suggest. I’m worried about the crust getting soggy.

      Using honey in the crust wouldn’t work. You’d probably want to find a different crust recipe. If you want to use honey in the filling, 1/3 cup instead of 1/2 cup of sugar would probably work but since I haven’t tried it, I’m not sure what effect it’d have on the texture. It’d also have some honey taste to it.

      I replaced the sugar with pyure which is stevia and eyrithritol (probably not spelled right) and cut the amount in half and they were amazing sugar free and low carb yummy guilt free amazingness

    Can sugar be replaced for splenda? And what would the measurements be?
    Thanks in advance.

      I’ve never actually used Splenda so I have no idea. Does it say on the bag how to use it? Like 1 to 1 with sugar? Sorry I’m not more of a help!

    Hi. I made this last night not realizing I didn’t have pain vanilla extract, or enough sugar! I used a tiny amount of brown sugar to make up the lack of white, and vanilla butter flavor extract in the crust. Turned out amazingly good. I also used like 2 drops of lemon juice(didn’t have real lemon to zest) not bad for a MacGyver!

    Have you ever tried adding cinnamon to the crust?

      I haven’t but I think 1/2 teaspoon would work! You can always add more to taste.

    My husband has a nut allergy. Would these still come out with gluten-free 1 to 1 flour? Thanks so much in advance!

      I’m afraid not. The GF 1 to 1 flours are interchangeable with wheat flour and not nut flours and other grain-free flours. Sorry about that!

    Hey! I made these months ago and they were AMAZING! I wanted to try to make a pumpkin variety for fall, do you have any suggestions when it comes to measurements? I’ll probably just wing it, but I just thought you might have some ideas :)

      Hi there! So happy you liked them. And oh man… if only it were so easy to add a bunch of pumpkin to the mix. ;) Luckily, I’ve already worked out a pumpkin version! Here it is – mini pumpkin cheesecakes. Hope you’ll enjoy them! I’d love to hear how they come out. :)
