INGREDIENTS
Crust:
- 1 package Pyure Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix
- 1 egg
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, room temperature
Cheese Cake:
- 16 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup Pyure All-Purpose Stevia Sweetener blend
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
DIRECTIONS
1
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line a muffin tin with cupcake wrappers and set aside.
2
In a large bowl, follow the steps to create the cookie dough from Pyure Bakeable Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix. You’ll just need to stir the cookie mix, 1 egg, and 1 stick of unsalted butter together.
3
Scoop a heaping tablespoon of cookie dough and place it into the lined muffin tin. Press down firmly with fingers or the back of a spoon. If you notice the dough sticking to your fingers or spoon, dip the spoon or your fingers into some water before pressing down.
4
In a large bowl, add softened cream cheese and mix on low until cream cheese is smooth. Add in room-temperature eggs and continue to mix for about 30 seconds. Next add in granular sweetener, salt, vanilla, and lemon juice. Continue mixing for 1 minute until filling has a smooth consistency.
5
Add cream cheese filling on top of the chocolate chip cookie dough evenly, but also leaving about 1/4″ from the top since they will rise a little in the oven.
6
Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 17-20 minutes.
7
Remove from oven and allow mini cheesecakes to cool completely. Once cooled, place in fridge 1-2 hours to firm up before serving. Enjoy!

These delicious mini cheesecakes with cookie dough crust have only 7 grams of net carbs.
