Cuisine – Peanut butter cheesecake bites

One of my daughters was recently diagnosed with diabetes type1, and soon after a biopsy confirmed that she is coeliac as well. With my love and passion for baking I had no other choice but to start learning about this and experimenting with sugary treats that she is able to enjoy, and that won’t affect her health. These little bites are the perfect treat for a person with diabetes, or someone following a low carb/gluten free diet. They provide only 4g of carbs per serving. Yields: 15

Crust
6 Tbsp butter (melted)
½ cup almond flour
½ cup coconut flour
1 Tbsp Whole Earth sugar replacement

Cheesecake filling
250g cream cheese (room temperature)
1/3 cup Whole Earth sugar replacement
½ cup peanut butter
1 Tbsp vanilla
2 eggs
Dash of milk 

Topping
½  Cup Healtheries sugar free chocolate bits
1 Tbsp coconut oil

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Spray a mini cupcake tray with cooking spray.
To make the crust ,combine the melted butter, almond, coconut flour and sugar replacement. Scoop the dough evenly into the mini cupcake tray, pressing down lightly with the back of the spoon. Bake the crust for 6 minutes until light brown in colour, allow to cool.
Make the cheesecake filling by whisking together the cream cheese, sugar replacement, peanut butter, vanilla, eggs and milk until light and creamy, scraping down the sides if needed. Scoop the filling onto the cooled crust and bake for about 15 minutes. Let them cool while you prepare the chocolate topping.
Melt the coconut oil and sugar free chocolate bits in the microwave or on the stove. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the baked bites and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
