 Sugar & Grain Free Mini Cheesecake - serves 4

Filling:
(You know what...just follow the mixing and assembly instructions for the filling found HERE,  but use my list of ingredients found below)

Bloom:
1 t. Gelatin
 1/4 t. Stevia Powder (the good kind with no fillers or additives)
1 T. Xylitol
1/2 c. Water

Then Add:
8-10 oz of Cream Cheese
1 good, fresh, organic Egg Yolk (from a source that you trust)
1/2 t. Orange extract
a dribble of Vanilla extract
2 canned Pineapple Rings  (cut into bits and stirred in, or however you like)

You know what...just follow the mixing and assembly instructions for the filling found HERE .

Macaroon Crust:    Pre-heat the oven to 350

 Mix in a little bowl:
3/4 c. Shredded Coconut (Unsweetened)
1/4 c. Almond meal or flour
1/2 a "Smidgen" size spoon (here)  Stevia Powder (the good kind with no fillers or additives)
a tiny bit of Popcorn Salt

With mixer on high, whip into soft peaks:
1 Egg white

Then carefully fold all remaining crust ingredients into the egg white.  Divide the Macaroon mixture into 4 greased oven proof little custard cups, carefully spreading it evenly over the bottom and sides.

Place the crusts in your Pre-heated oven (350), and bake uncovered for 6 minutes and then cover and bake 4 minutes more (10 total).

After the cups cool, divide the filling between them, and chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve!

 

Happy Eating!
