Low Carb Blackberry Cheesecakes

If I do again I would either use strawberries or double the blackberries as the taste did not come through. 


Serves 4
Calories 422/ Net Carbs 6

½ cup heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup fresh blackberries
1 tbs water
1 tbs sweetener
½ cup almond flour
1 tbs unsalted butter, melted
8 oz cream cheese, softened
¼ cup sweetener

1.    Whisk together the cream and vanilla until stiff peaks form, then cover and place in the fridge.
2.    In a small saucepan, make the syrup by adding the blackberries, water and tablespoon of sweetener. Cook on a low heat and push down the fruit with a spoon to release the juice. After 10 minutes, press the mixture through a fine sieve, discard the pulp, and let the syrup cool. Add a little arrowroot to thicken the sauce if desired.
3.    Mix together the almond flour and melted butter, then divide evenly between four small bowls or ramekins.
4.    In a stand mixer, beat the cream cheese, blackberry syrup and ¼ cup of sweetener together until smooth. Gently fold in the whipped cream.
5.    Divide the topping between the four bowls, cover, and keep in the fridge until required.
