Gluten-Free Mini Raspberry Cheesecakes – No Refined Sugar

By Editor On Mar 30, 2025

If you love cheesecake but want a naturally sweetened version, these Gluten-Free Mini Raspberry Cheesecakes are just the thing. They’re made with simple ingredients, no refined sugar, no gluten, just pure deliciousness!

The crust is a mix of oats and almond flour, held together with butter and honey. It bakes up slightly crisp and nutty, the perfect base for the creamy cheesecake filling. Instead of sugar, I sweeten the filling with honey or maple syrup, which gives it a delicate sweetness that pairs beautifully with the tart raspberry swirl.

Speaking of the raspberry swirl, it’s as simple as cooking fresh raspberries with a bit of lemon juice, straining out the seeds, and stirring in some honey. It results in a bright, fruity sauce that swirls beautifully into the cheesecake before baking.

Once they’re baked, these mini cheesecakes are rich, creamy, and just sweet enough. They make a perfect little treat for a special occasion or just because. Plus, they’re easy to make ahead and store in the fridge for when you need a quick dessert.

I love serving them chilled, with an extra drizzle of raspberry sauce on top. Hope you enjoy them as much as we did!

How to make Gluten-Free Mini Raspberry Cheesecakes

Begin by preparing the refined sugar-free raspberry sauce. For this, place the raspberries and lemon juice in a small saucepan and bring to a gentle boil, stirring constantly. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes until thickened, then remove from heat. Strain through a sieve to remove the seeds, then stir in a tablespoon of honey and set aside to cool.

For the gluten-free crust, preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). In a bowl, combine almond flour, oats, baking powder, and salt. Add butter, honey, and vanilla, mixing until a crumbly dough forms. Divide the mixture evenly among 12 lined muffin cups, pressing it firmly into the bottoms using the back of a spoon. Bake for 8-10 minutes, then remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly.

To prepare the cream cheese filling, reduce the oven temperature to 320°F (160°C). In a large bowl, mix the cream cheese with honey, salt, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until just incorporated. Stir in the sour cream and cornstarch, being careful not to overmix and introduce too much air.

Assemble the mini cheesecakes by dividing the filling evenly over the prepared crusts. Spoon small amounts of raspberry sauce onto each cheesecake and use a skewer to create delicate swirls. Bake for 18-20 minutes, then let them cool at room temperature in the pan. Refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours or overnight before serving.
