Looking for a fun mini cheesecake recipe? These little keto cinnamon roll cheesecakes are easy to make and absolutely delicious! And the individual servings allow for perfect portion control. Now with an instructional video so you see just how easy these low carb mini cheesecakes are to make. This post is sponsored by Bob’s Red Mill.

Low Carb Cinnamon Roll Cheesecake Recipe

This keto cinnamon roll cheesecake was inspired by something I saw on Pinterest recently.

I know I have mentioned this before but I get no end of inspiration from my fellow food bloggers and recipe writers. While some of my recipes spring from the deep dark depths of my own fevered brain, more often than not, I am inspired by a recipe someone has done already.

Because I see so many amazing and delicious dishes that I want to make myself. Or rather, that I want to make OVER. Chances are good that the recipes that catch my eye are decadent, sugar-filled creations from high carb dessert bloggers or recipe magazines.

Chances are pretty good that these folks have never used almond flour and don’t have any clue what erythritol is. Although with the current popularity of the keto diet, maybe they have. And maybe they are intrigued. And these mini cheesecake are the perfect way to win them over.

Watch my video to see how easy it is to make Cinnamon Roll Cheesecake

 

Easy individual keto cheesecakes that taste just like a cinnamon roll!

Mini Cheesecakes for portion control

Mini cheesecakes really are the perfect size. They are ridiculously cute, for one thing. A big cheesecake is all well and good, and they taste the same, but everything in miniature is just somehow more appealing.

I’ve been asked by a lot of readers for more mini keto dessert recipes. Many of these readers live alone or with just a significant other, or sometimes they are the only one in their household following a keto diet.

So they just don’t want a big cheesecake hanging around, providing temptation. Because let’s be real… even if it’s keto and sugar-free, it’s still delicious and temping. And eating a whole big cheesecake in one sitting is no longer going to be low carb.

So mini desserts provide us all with perfect portion control. This mini cheesecake recipes makes only 6. They also freeze well so if it’s just you, you can wrap them up individually and sock them away, ready to be eaten whenever that craving strikes.

Want just a little bit of a treat? Try these grain-free low carb cinnamon roll cheesecakes.

Cinnamon Roll Cheesecake Inspiration

But these sweet little low carb cheesecakes are absolutely a copy of someone else’s work, albeit made with very different ingredients. I spotted some gorgeous Mini Cinnamon Roll Cheesecakes on Life Love and Sugar and I saved them for a future craving.

And that future craving happened to be a few weeks ago, so I pulled them up in Pinterest and got to work. Of course I had to change the crust and use my trusty go-to Bob’s Red Mill Super Fine Almond Flour.

And the sweetener went from sugar to “non-sugar” – perhaps I should call my blog Life Love and No Sugar? I played with the amounts of the other ingredients as well, until the fillings and toppings seemed right to me.

Oh and I only made a half batch, so that it’s a little more manageable. You can always double it if you think you need more. Or triple it. Or quadruple it. Once you taste these low carb cinnamon roll cheesecakes, you will want to keep them around all. the. time.

Easy low carb gluten-free mini cheesecake recipe.

These mini keto cheesecakes absolutely exceeded my expectations. They were firm but creamy and had a lovely cinnamon “sugar” flavour. They really did taste like cinnamon rolls in cheesecake form.

They held up well too. I had two leftover as we headed out to catch a flight to Toronto, so I popped them into a tupperware and stuck them in my bag. They made a delicious airplane treat for my husband and me, and helped keep me from succumbing to other not-so-healthy choices.

They freeze very well so if you want to do a little meal planning, this recipe is perfect!

Many thanks to Bob’s Red Mill for partnering with me to bring you this post.

  • 2 tbsp Swerve Sweetener
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
Cheesecake Filling
  • 6 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 5 tbsp Swerve Sweetener divided
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
Crust:

  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, sweetener and cinnamon. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture begins to clump together.
  3. Divide among the prepared muffin cups and press firmly into the bottom. Bake 7 minutes, then remove and let cool while preparing the filling.
Cheesecake Filling:
  1. Reduce oven temperature to 300F. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and 3 tablespoons of the sweetener together until smooth. Beat in the sour cream, vanilla and egg until well combined.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons sweetener and the cinnamon.
  3. Dollop about 3/4 tbsp of the cream cheese mixture into each of the muffin cups and sprinkle with a little of the cinnamon mixture. Repeat 2 more times. If you have any leftover cinnamon "sugar", reserve to sprinkle on after the cheesecakes are baked.
  4. Bake 15 to 17 minutes, until mostly set but centres jiggle slightly. Turn off the oven and let them remain inside for 5 more minutes, then remove and let cool 30 minutes. Refrigerate at least 2 hours until set.

  1. In a medium bowl, beat butter with powdered sweetener until well combined. Beat in vanilla extract and heavy cream.
  2. Transfer to a small ziplock bag and snip the corner. Drizzle decoratively over the chilled cheesecakes.

    Can’t wait to try this recipe. When I clicked the “Print” icon, the page that came up had the facebook and other icons over the top of the recipe. This happened with one other recipe that I wanted to print. I just thought that you should be made aware of this happening.

        Open the recipe in Facebook, then click the menu at the site bar to open in the internet. Once in Internet mode you can print easily right from your phone.
        I love Carolyn’s recipes so much I’ve bookmarked her site, so when I’m looking for something specific I come in, Search and bam there’s the recipe! It’s been a lifesaver for my husband, the diabetic, who loves something sweet with his coffee but doesn’t tolerate most sweets without huge jumps in his glucose levels.
        Hope this helps.

      I just made these love them. I used Stevia instead of swerve (couldn’t find swerve in KY) and used cool whip instead of whipping cream(because I forgot it at the grocery) this recipe made 9 in regular size silicone cup cake cups. Awesome my favorite.

    Hi
    I am new here. I do not have swerve but I have erythritol and pyure and stevia any suggestions on how I can sub these sweeteners

    Reply
    • Carolyn says

      May 27, 2017 at 7:52 am

      Yes, these sweeteners will work fine. Plain erythritol is less sweet than Swerve (which measure cup for cup like sugar) so you may want to add a few drops of stevia if you use that. I can’t remember the ratios for Pyure but it should work as well. If it’s the baking blend, I think it’s cup for cup with sugar as well so you could directly replace the swerve.

    I have just recently gone back to a low carb diet again. Last time I did it, there were minimal recipes that actually tasted good. I stumbled on your website while looking for something to satisfy my sweet tooth without destroying my diet. I made these last week and was so impressed with the flavor that I decided to use this recipe as a base for some other flavors. First I eliminated the cinnamon and used the raspberry filling from your raspberry white chocolate cheese cake and added blueberries to the top for a Memorial Day theme mini cheesecake. The second batch, I used unsweetened cocoa powder in place of the cinnamon, added espresso powder to the filling and topped with some no sugar chocolate chips for a coffee mocha mini cheesecake. Thanks for the base to make some great low carb desserts.

    Reply
    • Carolyn says

      June 8, 2017 at 6:57 am

      The standard for baking is to use unsalted. But I have a high tolerance for salt so I often just grab whatever I have and sometimes that’s salted.

    These are amazing!! When making the frosting, I didn’t check the extract bottle and accidentally used banana extract….. turned out to be a tasty accident! 😀 So I saw that you mentioned doubling both the crust and filling recipes would work for making a whole cheesecake in a springform pan- do you have any suggestions on the size of the pan, adjustments to the bake time, greasing the pan, or cooking in a water bath? I would really like to make this as a full size cheesecake but don’t want to mess up such a great recipe. Any suggestions/tips would be much appreciated!!

      My Fitness pal is notoriously inaccurate at times. Could be subbing sugar for the sweetener OR it could be counting the carbs from the erythritol, which have zero impact on blood sugar and should be subtracted.

    Can you use Splenda instead of Swerve in this recipe? All I have is Splenda. These look awesome and I absolutely love anything CINNAMON. Thanks for sharing.

      Well, I use MacGourmet, a paid program that pulls from the USDA database. So I am quite confident of my numbers. If you are using MyFitnessPal or similar, they are very unreliable.

    Hi
    It is wonderful recipe with Almond Flour dessert. Even using Sweetener (I was using Whole Earth sweetener , Btw, I couldn’t stand erythritol taste )
    And I think I was miss understand for size of Muffins. I thought it call ” Mini ” so,I was using Mini Muffins cup pan for only 6 of them ! After put Cream Cheese mix in, still bunch of ingredients are left.
    So I did leftover Cream Cheese mixture on using Oreo Cookies( it is so much for KETO diet huh ! ) for bottom of the 4 Regular size Muffin pan .
    I’m baking now, Hopefully will be come ok.

    Thank you.

    Hands down this is THE best keto dessert I have ever made. I use lankanto gold (monk fruit sugar) for the crust and the cinnamon sugar mix and lankanto white (monk fruit sugar) for the cream cheese mix. I excluded the frosting as I didn’t want it overly sweet and let me tell you it doesn’t need the frosting. Seriously I have never tasted a better keto dessert than this, but I’m also a cinnamon fanatic. (I added 1 tsp cinnamon to the crust instead of 1/2.) Thank you, Thank you for this recipe. This will probably be the only dessert I will make as I find cookies, cupcakes etc from any recipe site to taste icky the following day or once cooled down. This lasts. Btw, lankanto does NOT have an aftertaste, I can’t suffer many other sugar substitutes but lankanto makes everything taste like real sugar with no icky aftertaste.

    I couldn’t find the video either using the Firefox browser. I switched to Chrome and it was there. I have an ad blocker add-on that may be the reason I couldn’t find the video. The ad blocker doesn’t work perfectly!

    I made these tonight and they’re in the refrigerator now. They look beautiful and smell delicious. I can’t wait to try one.

    I love recipes like this that have built-in portion control. I also like that the recipe only makes 6 (which of course is easy to double if you want more). I’m going to freeze one of these cheesecakes to see how well it holds up.

    Thanks for this recipe.

    Tried these with baking Splenda and can confirm they work just as well with Swerve or erythritol + liquid stevia which I tried also (but more carbs with Splenda). They are so amazing and easy. Going to make them tonight for Valentines without the cinnamon for plain mini cheesecakes and top with fresh whipped cream and strawberries. Thanks Carolyn!

So he’s super excited to taste these! I just pulled them out of the oven and they smell soooooo good! I can’t wait to taste them too!

    These are amazing!!!! I followed the recipe exactly how it say except I only used half of the cinnamon mixture b/c I was worried it would be too much. I also used paper cup cake liners instead of silicone and did not have any problem with them sticking. The frosting tasted way too sweet when I taste tested it but it tastes very good on top of the cheesecake! I made some plain w crust and some plain without also using this recipe! 5 stars for sure!

    Loved this! I was too lazy to make the frosting but topped each one with whipped cream and it was delicious. I thought they were MUCH better the second day. I think I actually picked this recipe out of several because it I am a procrastinator and it only required a couple of hours in the fridge. The one (ok, 2…) I ate that evening were good, but I wasn’t terribly impressed. But the second day, they were amazing!! I used Lakanto monkfruit/erythritol blend and it worked great — I am usually really sensitive to the cooling effect of erythritol but didn’t notice it here. Oh and I subbed out some of the almond flour for crushed pecans and that was great too.

    I thought I liked cinnamon but now I’m not so sure. I tripled this recipe because I had 500g of cream cheese and I wanted to make a cheesecake slice because rectangular pieces are easier to freeze. But 6 tsp of cinnamon in the filling plus 1.5 tsp in the base was too much for me. Maybe it’s because I’m not used to those American cinnamon buns. But the cheesecake itself is nice. It took about 30 minutes in a slice pan at 155 degrees Celsius. I didn’t bother with the frosting. If I made this again, I’d probably keep the cinnamon (and maybe ground ginger?) in the base but not in the filling.

    All I can say is YUM!!! These are so incredibly delicious!! The first time I made them I did the exact recipe (but dolloped the frosting instead of piping it) but the second time I didn’t add the frosting at hubby’s request because he said it made them too sweet and I don’t think I’ll use it in the future. I usually make them full size but I have also made them into minis which is the perfect size to pop in your mouth for just a bite (or eat more than one)! Another winning recipe! Thanks Carolyn!

    I love this recipe! I am 2.5 weeks into keto and it has not been easy but I have seen progress, worthy progress. I am a super snacker so I am totally missing my chips, cookies, crackers and bread though. I’m huge on sweets but when everything is off limits -or feels that way- you want it all. I am not big on cream cheese either never been a fan unless it is flavored then I can tolerate it so I was in for a rude awakening on keto. I had to get with it.

    I saw the photo when searching for snack and dessert ideas and from the photo alone I was in- can’t go wrong with cinnamon and vanilla. We made these last night and the recipe is spot on! The taste was sooooo yummyyyy this will be a regular for me 🙂 the only downside is that I didn’t realize how long it takes for everything to set and I prepared them after dinner so it was bedtime by the time all was said and done- but it was the yummiest breakfast I have had in 2 weeks!!! Thank you!
