Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a bowl, mix almond flour, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt until crumbly and moist.
- Assemble the crusts: Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners. Press 1 tablespoon of crust mixture into each cup. Chill in the fridge while you make the filling.
- Make the filling: Using a hand mixer, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla, almond extract (if using), pistachio butter, and lemon juice. Beat again until fluffy. Fold in ground pistachios.
- Assemble and chill: Spoon the filling evenly over each crust, smoothing the tops. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until set.
- Serve: Remove from muffin tin and peel off liners. Garnish with extra chopped pistachios and optionally top with fresh raspberries or a spoonful of Greek yogurt.
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
