2 Tablespoons salted butter, softened or melted (or coconut oil + a dash of salt)
2 Tablespoons honey
Filling
2 pounds cream cheese (four 8-ounce packages)
1 cup honey
2 Tablespoons heavy whipping cream
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 eggs
Topping (optional):
Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, cherries, or melted chocolate
Instructions
Crust
Wrap foil tightly around the bottom and up the sides of eight 4-inch ramekins. Place a piece of parchment paper in each ramekin and press to tightly fit the bottom and up the sides, overlapping the foil.
In a bowl, mix together crust ingredients (2 cups almond flour, 2 Tbsp butter, and 2 Tbsp honey) until a loose dough ball forms.
Portion the crust mixture into eight equal size balls, and press each dough ball into a flattened circle at the bottom of each ramekin. Set aside.
Filling
Preheat oven to 350˚F.
Add 2 pounds cream cheese and 1 cup honey to your blender and beat until well combined.
Add 2 Tbsp heavy whipping cream, 2 tsp lemon juice and 1 tsp vanilla, and continue blending until creamy and consistent.
Add eggs and blend on low speed until well combined, about 2 minutes.
Distribute the filling evenly into each prepared ramekin.
Set the ramekins into the bottom of a casserole dish (or shallow pan) and carefully fill the casserole dish with water so it goes about halfway up the outside of the ramekins. Delicately place the casserole dish in the oven, being careful not to get water into the ramekins.
Bake for 30 minutes, or until the filling is soft-set. Crack the oven door, turn off heat, and allow the cheesecake to slowly cool in the oven for 30 minutes. Cover and chill until ready to serve. Refrigerate up to 3 days.
Remove each individual cheesecake from its pan and set on a dessert plate. Top with fresh berries, cherry sauce, or drizzle with melted chocolate.
