Ingredients Breakdown and Nutritional Value:

  • Almond Flour Crust:

    • 1 cup almond flour: Almond flour is rich in healthy fats, fiber, and protein. It’s low in carbs and contains around 160 calories, 6 grams of protein, 14 grams of fat, and 3 grams of net carbs per 1/4 cup.
    • 3 tbsp melted butter (unsalted): Butter is a great source of fat on a keto diet, adding around 102 calories and 12 grams of fat per tablespoon.
    • 1 tbsp powdered erythritol: Erythritol is a keto-friendly sweetener with zero net carbs and no calories.
    • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract: Vanilla extract adds flavor without any significant caloric impact.

  • Cheesecake Filling:

    • 16 oz cream cheese (softened): Cream cheese is keto-friendly, providing about 160 calories, 16 grams of fat, and 1 gram of net carbs per 2 oz.
    • 1/4 cup powdered erythritol: Again, erythritol adds sweetness without carbs or calories.
    • 1/4 cup sour cream: Sour cream adds creaminess, contributing approximately 120 calories, 10 grams of fat, and 2 grams of net carbs.
    • 2 large eggs: Eggs are a great source of protein, each providing 70 calories, 5 grams of fat, and 6 grams of protein.
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract: For added flavor without carbs.
    • 1/4 cup Natural Elements Sea Moss Gel: Our sea moss gel is a powerhouse of essential nutrients including iodine, potassium, calcium, and vitamins A, C, and E. Not only does it boost the nutritional profile of these cupcakes, but it also adds an extra creamy texture. Sea moss gel promotes gut health, supports skin health, and may help regulate metabolism—making it an excellent addition to your keto recipes.

  • Salted Caramel Sauce:

    • 1/4 cup butter: Adding more healthy fats to keep you in ketosis.
    • 1/4 cup heavy cream: Cream is a keto favorite, providing rich fats and only about 1 gram of net carbs per 2 tablespoons.
    • 1/4 cup keto-friendly sweetener: Zero calories and zero carbs.
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract: For that warm, aromatic finish.
    • Sea salt: Adds that perfect salty contrast to the sweet caramel without affecting your macros.

Instructions:

Prepare the Crust:

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners. In a bowl, mix almond flour, melted butter, powdered erythritol, and vanilla extract until you get a sandy texture. Press the mixture into the bottom of each liner to form a firm crust. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool.

Make the Cheesecake Filling:

Beat softened cream cheese and powdered erythritol until smooth and creamy. Add in sour cream, eggs, Natural Elements Sea Moss Gel, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth. Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crusts, filling each liner almost to the top. Bake for 18-22 minutes until set but slightly jiggly in the center. Cool and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.

Salted Caramel Sauce:

Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, add the sweetener, and cook while stirring until golden brown and thickened. Stir in heavy cream, continue cooking until smooth and thick. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt. Let the sauce cool before drizzling over the chilled cupcakes.

Assemble:

Once the cheesecake cupcakes are fully chilled, drizzle the salted caramel sauce over the top and sprinkle a pinch of sea salt for extra flavor.

Caloric Intake:

Each Keto Salted Caramel Cheesecake Cupcake is approximately 300-350 calories, with around 30 grams of fat, 5 grams of protein, and 4-6 grams of net carbs per serving. These keto-friendly cupcakes offer a satisfying dessert experience without spiking your blood sugar.

Why Sea Moss Gel?

Sea moss gel provides essential minerals that many of us lack in our diets, such as iodine for thyroid health, magnesium for muscle function, and potassium for heart health.
