This is an adaptation of a popular New York cheesecake recipe that I revised for low-carb diets. The crust is a little off because there's really no perfect substitute for graham cracker, but otherwise it tastes just like my favorite NY cheesecake. Enjoy!

Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
Step 2
Mix almond meal and butter together in a bowl. Spoon into bottoms of the paper liners; press down to form a flat crust.
Step 3
Stir cream cheese and sweetener together in a bowl just until smooth. Mix in whipping cream and water. Add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in sour cream, almond flour, and vanilla extract. Spoon into paper liners.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until cream cheese mixture is almost set in the middle, 15 to 18 minutes. Be careful not to overcook.
Step 5
Let cool at room temperature; refrigerate 8 hours to overnight.
