In a large bowl, add 1 and 1/4 cups of almond flour, a pinch of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon of erythritol. Mix until well combined.
Add 2 tablespoons of melted butter into the mixture and mix until well incorporated.
Line your muffin trays, then add a heaping tablespoon of the crust mixture to each cup. Press it down to the bottom with a teaspoon. Place inside a 356F preheated oven and bake for 5 to 7 minutes. Once done baking, let them cool to room temperature.
In a different bowl, add 1 3/4 cups of cream cheese, 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon of lemon zest, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Mix for 2 minutes or until well combined using a hand mixer. Gradually add 2 tablespoons of erythritol to the mixture, and mix after every addition.
Add 2 eggs one at a time to the cream cheese mixture and mix until well incorporated.
Pour the mixture onto the cooled crust. Shake to even the mixture. Place inside a 356F preheated oven and bake for 15 to 17 minutes.
Once done baking, chill for 1 hour before serving. Garnish with diced lemon and mint leaves on top. Enjoy!
