Directions:
1. Toast the almond flour in a small microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 20 seconds until lightly toasted. Mix in the remaining crust ingredients, then press into the bottom of a 4oz glass or cup. Chill in the freezer.
2. In a small bowl, whisk the warm cream cheese until fluffy, then mix in the sweetener and vanilla. In a separate small bowl, whip the chilled cream to soft peaks and set aside. (A hack for whipping such a small amount of cream: use a baby food jar or an equally small jar, add the cold cream into the jar, seal the lid, then shake vigorously for a minute.)
4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
5. Spoon the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust, using a spoon or spatula to smooth the surface. Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, up to over-night, before serving.
