Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Make the crust:
Pulse walnuts and 1/4 cup coconut sugar in a food processor until fine. Add melted butter and pulse again until texture resembles moist sand.
Prep the pan:
Grease a silicone mini muffin tin. Add 1 tablespoon of crust mixture to each cup and press down gently. Bake for 12 minutes, or until golden.
Make the filling:
In a bowl, beat softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt (or sour cream), coconut sugar, vanilla, and egg until smooth. Don’t worry about a few small clumps.
Fill and bake:
Spoon filling into each cup over the crust. Bake for 15–20 minutes, just until centers are set (don’t brown the tops).
Cool completely:
Let cool in the pan, then chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
Top and serve:
Top with shipped cream and add blueberries and strawberries to each cheesecake. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar.

Notes

Swap walnuts for pecans or almonds if needed.

Add lemon zest for a refreshing twist.

Make ahead and store in the fridge (or freeze without toppings).
