Newbie here that just tried this recipe and I could not be more pleased. They are so good and just what I needed for that evening sweet snack I like to have after dinner. I made it just as it was originally posted and they came out so good. Thank you so much for this!!

Terra, did you only use the 1/4 cup of daVinci's? Or did you use that and 1/4 cup of granular Splenda too?

I am in love.... and these are very, very dangerous LOL... Here's the revisions I made to the original. I did a half batch of mini muffins, used lower fat cream cheese, all DaVinci's syrup, and I did them straight in the mini muffin pan using spray PAM. They were a bit tricky getting out the pan without being in baking cups, but if you're careful and gentle as you see, they will come out whole. The ones that fall apart don't count when you eat them, right? As you can also see, I overfilled a couple of 'em too but it only gave me an excuse to add some SF Smucker's raspberry preserves. With the DaVinci’s Dulce de Leche, these were extremely tasty. Even before being refrigerated. Yum yum yum yum yum.

Low Carb Cream Cheese Mini Muffins

1 - 8 oz. block Philadelphia 1/3 less fat cream cheese
¼ cup of DaVinci’s Dulce de Leche sugar free syrup
¼ teaspoon vanilla
1 egg

Mix cold cream cheese with a fork until softened. Add DaVinci’s syrup, vanilla, and egg and mix well. Whisk together with a wire whisk until smooth. Spray 12 mini muffin cups with Pam butter flavored spray and spoon cream cheese mixture out evenly. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 30-35 minutes. Allow pan to cool on rack for at least 30 minutes. Remove and refrigerate to cool. Top with a tiny 1/4 teaspoon dab of sugar free strawberry or raspberry preserves, if desired.

This sounds soooo good! I needed to ping this so I could find it later (when my little cheesecakes are chilled)

I grated a full square of unsweetened Baker's Chocolate into these ... and I am waiting for them to come out of the oven right now. If they taste as good as the batter does ... I will be a happy girl. I didnt have any muffin papers ... so I just sprayed the muffin pan ... I hope they dont stick ! 12 mins to go !!! Woot Woot !!

I make these often and my batter looked a little thin yesterday when making them....so I added half a scoop of Jay Robb protein powder....they were delish. So now my recipe is 2 boxes of cream cheese (8oz each), 2 eggs, 1/2 scoop of Jay Robb powder (I used vanilla) and 1/4 cup of DaVinci syrup. I don't even add splenda anymore. Very filling and very good.

I follow the original recipe and then add a couple tablespoons of fresh lime juice and lime zest then adjust the sweetener accordingly.
DH and I LOVE these.

I am SOOOOOOO from searching the thread but I did find this:

Cream Cheese Muffins

There is a recipe for an almond crust that I think flaxmeal can substitute.

I had this idea the other day and this is what the recipe I googled is

2 8oz blocks of cream cheese, softened
2/3 cup splenda
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs

You blend the first 4 ingredients until smooth and then add the eggs, blend just till mixed together and pour into muffin cups. My recipe says to bake at 350 for 15 mins though.
And they taste just like cheese cake when chilled overnight. Even my skinny minny 16 DD loves these!

Just thought I would share a diff version of the same thing..

Yes, and they puff up real pretty while baking and then shrink down just a bit as they cool! So yummy!

I don't make an actual "crust" but what I do is spray the muffin cups with butter-flavored cooking spray, then sprinkle a bit of raw wheat bran in each cup, and tilt to coat the bottoms. You could probably use flax meal and do the same. Then spoon your batter on top of the bran. It helps them release from the pans a bit more easily and we like the "crust-like" taste of it!

I made these yesterday and found that they were very sweet, I used splenda for sweetner, is there anything else I can use so they are not so sweet?

I, too, thought they were a bit too sweet at first... since I'm no longer used to eating sweet stuff. Just cut down the sweetener! I also use Davinci's SF Syrup for mine.


Also, as soon as I'm moved into my new digs, I'm gonna make a batch and try that 'crust' with flaxmeal you recommended Char!

Should I add anything extra in it to make up for the sweetner?

No need. The Splenda is not adding bulk to the recipe so it will be fine.
