Perfect for the Holidays!
There’s something about cheesecake that feels luxurious — creamy, rich, and just a little indulgent. But what if you could enjoy that same classic flavor without the sugar or guilt? These Mini Sugar-Free, Low Carb New York Style Cheesecakes are proof that healthy eating doesn’t mean giving up dessert!
Each mini cheesecake starts with a cinnamon pecan granola crust, baked just until golden. The filling is a smooth blend of cream cheese, vanilla, and a touch of sweetness from Jordan’s Skinny Syrups — giving you that classic New York-style flavor with a low-carb twist.
The real magic happens when you top them with a sugar-free blueberry sauce, thickened perfectly with a cornstarch slurry. It adds just the right touch of tartness and color — beautiful enough for a holiday dessert table, but easy enough for any day of the week.

Cheesecake Batter
- 12 oz softened cream cheese
- ¼ cup Splenda (or your preferred sugar-free sweetener)
- 2 eggs, lightly scrambled

- ½ teaspoon Vanilla Bean Paste
- 2.7 fl oz heavy cream

👩🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Make the Crust
- Add the Nutrail Cinnamon Pecan Keto Granola to a food processor.
- Pulse until finely crushed.
- Add the melted butter and blend again until combined.
- Divide evenly into 12 lined muffin cups, pressing down firmly to create the crust base.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Set aside to cool.
Step 2: Prepare the Cheesecake Batter
- In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Add Splenda, cornstarch, vanilla bean paste, and heavy cream. Mix until combined.
- Pour in the two beaten eggs last and mix until smooth.
- Add your Jordan’s French Vanilla Skinny Syrup for added sweetness and blend gently.
- Use an ice cream scoop to portion the batter evenly over the cooled crusts.
Step 3: Bake the Cheesecakes
- Place the muffin tin inside a larger baking pan filled with about 1 inch of hot water to create a steam bath.
- Bake at 300°F (150°C) for 30 minutes, or until centers are just set.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to fully set.
Step 4: Make the Sugar-Free Blueberry Sauce
- In a saucepan, combine frozen blueberries and Jordan’s Skinny Syrup.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce to low and simmer until berries break down and the sauce starts to thicken.
- In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to make a slurry.
- Stir the slurry into the blueberries and cook for 1 minute, until the sauce thickens to your liking.
- Remove from heat and let cool.
Step 5: Assemble & Enjoy!
Once your cheesecakes are chilled and set, spoon the blueberry sauce over each mini cheesecake. Garnish with a few fresh blueberries or a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream if desired.
Keep them stored in the refrigerator until ready to serve — they taste even better the next day!
💡 Tips & Notes
- You can make these up to 3 days ahead — perfect for holiday prep!
- Try swapping in raspberries or strawberries for a fruity twist.
- If you don’t have Vanilla Bean Paste, pure vanilla extract works just as well.
