Instructions
Strawberry Cheesecake
Preheat the oven to 350*. We are using 2 mini cheesecake pans but you can use a 8-inch springform pan or a muffin tin with cupcake liners (24 mini cheesecakes).
In a medium bowl, 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 a stand mixer combine 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 rubber spatula, 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 medium saucepan with 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 & slice the cheesecake into 12 slices.
