Instructions

1
Preheat oven to 325°F. Line 6 cups of a muffin tin with parchment liners.
2
Mix almond flour, melted butter, and 1 tbsp honey. Press about 1.5 tablespoons into the bottom of each liner to form the crust.
3
In a bowl, beat ricotta, cream cheese, 1/3 cup honey, egg, lemon zest, and juice until smooth and creamy.
4
Divide the filling evenly among the crusts. Bake for 20-25 minutes until set but still slightly jiggly in the center. Cool completely, then chill.
5
For the topping, simmer berries with 1 tbsp water and a drizzle of honey for 5-7 minutes until saucy. Cool and spoon over chilled cheesecakes before serving.
