You will have a lot less guilt eating these cheesecakes! Feel free to devour these holiday cheesecakes knowing they are not as calorie laden as their counterparts.

Greek Cream Cheese

It’s time to brag a little bit about this mini cheesecake recipe. I found a Greek cream cheese that is amazing and it boosts the protein content of this dessert. It comes in bars wrapped in foil like the other brands, but it is full of protein.

Cheesecake Crust

The crust is made of almond meal with coconut oil and spices…and yet these easy eggnog cheesecakes are full of flavor. If you prefer a different crust, here are a couple more crust ideas for you….

More ingredients you can use for a crust:

• Love a good graham cracker crust? Break up 1 cup of gluten free graham crackers and add 4 tablespoons of melted butter and 3 tablespoons of sugar.
• You can also use a chocolate almond crust like in these Gluten Free Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheesecakes.

And, if you LOVE eggnog, try these easy eggnog recipes: Gluten Free Eggnog Scones and these Gluten Free Eggnog Cupcakes!

For this recipe, I used eggnog made with almond milk to lighten up this recipe. If you prefer regular eggnog, feel free to substitute that in. You can even make your own eggnog!

How to make an eggnog cheesecake

Allow the cream cheese to soften. (**Note, this Greek cream cheese will not beat as creamy as regular cream cheese because the fat content is so much lower. My mini eggnog cheesecakes have the consistency a little bit like small curd cottage cheese.)

If you can’t find Greek cream cheese, you can use low-fat cream cheese, or even regular cream cheese. (*Note the fat content will go up with one of these substitutes.)

This cheesecake crust is simple and delicious. I used a simple almond meal, coconut oil, and spices. I kept the crust mild so it wouldn’t over power the eggnog flavor.

Use an electric mixer to whip the wet ingredients. It will be thick and creamy. Add the crust to the mini spring form pans and then pour the cheesecake batter over the crust. If you can’t find mini spring form pans, you can make a large cheesecake with a regular spring form pan.

Each cheesecake is perfectly sized to feed two people!
