Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cup Low-fat Yogurt
- 4 oz Fat-free “whipped” Cream Cheese
- 3 tablespoons Sugar-free sweetener Monkfruit
- 10 pitted Dates
- 1/3 cup Almond Flour
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice (Meyer Lemon preferred)
- 1/4 teaspoon Lemon Zest (Meyer Lemon preferred)
- Drizzle your choice of syrup
Candied Lemon Slices – (not a sugar-free option see notes)
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1 cup Water
- 1/4 teaspoon Lemon Juice
- 1/4” sliced Lemon Slices (prefer Meyer Lemon)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, add Greek yogurt, cream cheese, monk fruit sugar and vanilla for the cheesecake filling and mix well. Add lemon juice and lemon zest.
- With a mortar or a food processor add dates and grind until pureed. Add almond flour and mix with dates until it turns into a paste.
- Spray oil into a silicone cupcake pan. Form the date paste into a ball and flatten with a pastel or your finger and flatten the date paste down into the bottom of the silicone cupcake pan.
- Place cream cheese in a piping bag and fill each cupcake to the rim.
- Place it in the freezer and chill overnight until firm. Remove from the silicone tray and drizzle your favorite syrup. We used honey but if you want to keep it sugar-free use Agave if you like. Thaw out for 20 minutes before serving and enjoy!
Notes
- If you use a full-fat Greek yogurt it will reduce the watery texture once thawed out. This is optional.
- I used honey in this recipe (not sugar-free) you can use your choice of sugar-free syrup.
- I prefer using Meyer Lemons because they are sweeter than other lemons with only a slight tartness.
