Method
Strawberry Cheesecake
- Preheat the oven to 350*. We are using 2 minicheesecake pansbut you can use a 8-inch springform pan or amuffin tinwithcupcake liners(24 mini cheesecakes).
- In a mediumbowl, mix melted butter, almond flour, and swerve. Mix well. Scoop 2 tsp of crust mixture into each cheesecake mold and pack it down. If using a 8-inch pan, pour the entire crust mixture into pan and pack it down, bringing the crust slightly up the edges of the pan. Prebake the crust for 10 minutes.
- Lower oven temperature to 300*.
- In a bowl fit for astand mixercombine cream cheese and sour cream. Mix on medium speed with a paddle attachment until well combined. Add the swerve and mix well. One at a time, add each egg making sure it's fully incorporated. Mix in the heavy cream and vanilla. Using a rubberspatula, fold in 4 finely chopped strawberries.
- Fill each cheesecake molds or lined muffin tins with about 2 tbsp of cheesecake batter. If you're using a 8-inch springform, pour all the cheesecake batter into the pan. Place your cheesecake into the oven. Most cheesecakes benefit from a water bath, but it's not required. Wrap the bottom of the pan in aluminum foil and place into a baking sheet of hot water. Bake mini cheesecakes for 30 minutes. For the 8-inch, bake it for 45-50 minutes or until the middle slightly jiggles.
Chocolate Covered Strawberries
- Fill a mediumsaucepanwith about one inch of water and heat on medium-low. Place a metal bowl over the warming water. Finely chop Lily's baking bar and pour ¾ in metal bowl over hot water. Melt chocolate, stirring occasionally. Once melted, take the bowl of chocolate off the heat and mix in last ¼ of Lily's chocolate. The remaining chocolate will slowly melt. Dip each strawberry carefully in the melted chocolate and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Let harden. Once the strawberries are hard, place them on top of your cheesecake & enjoy!
