- 1/4 cup Honey
- 2 large Eggs

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease 4 mini cheesecake pans or line muffin tins with paper cups.

- Pour the cheesecake filling over the almond flour crusts, filling each pan nearly to the top.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
- Cool the cheesecakes completely, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to firm up.
- Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
- For a traditional crust, you can substitute almond flour with graham cracker crumbs.
- Add a fresh fruit topping or drizzle with sugar-free syrup for extra flavor.
- For a citrusy twist, try adding lemon juice or zest to the filling.
- Mix in cocoa powder or melted dark chocolate for a chocolate version.
