FAQ: Ketovore Mini Rum Cheesecakes
Welcome to the Ketovore Mini Rum Cheesecakes FAQ section, where I answer all your burning questions about this decadent, keto-friendly dessert! Whether you’re wondering about ingredient substitutions, baking mishaps, or what happens if you eat all cheesecakes at once, I’ve got you covered. Prepare for a mix of helpful tips, quirky advice, and a few laughs along the way as we dive into the delicious world of rum-infused ketovore cheesecake goodness.
Can I use a different type of alcohol instead of dark rum?
Sure, why not? If you prefer the taste of bourbon or brandy, go ahead and experiment. Just remember, this might turn your cheesecakes into a whole new adventure. For more options, check out the Tips for Variations section in this post. Proceed with caution and a sense of humor!
Can I make these cheesecakes without the alcohol?
Absolutely! If you want to keep it alcohol-free, you can use rum flavoring or any natural flavoring. For more ideas, check out once again the Tips for Variations section in the post. Your cheesecakes will still be delicious, just a bit less adventurous.
How many carbs are in one of these mini cheesecakes?
These mini marvels are designed to be keto-friendly, so each cheesecake should have around 3—4 grams of net carbs. But hey, who’s counting when you’re in cheesecake heaven?
Can I use a different sweetener instead of allulose?
While allulose is ultimately the best sweetener for this recipe due to its ability to mimic sugar’s texture and taste without crystallizing, you can also use powdered erythritol, stevia, or monk fruit. Just remember, not all sweeteners are created equal, so you need to adjust the amount to taste.
What if I don’t have ramekins?
No ramekins, no problem! You can use oven-proof espresso cups or small coffee cups instead. Just be sure to adjust the baking time and keep an eye on them. Or, you could always eat the batter straight from the bowl. I won’t judge.
Why do I need to place a bowl of boiling water in the oven?
The boiling water creates steam, which helps prevent the cheesecakes from cracking. Plus, it adds a touch of drama to your baking routine. Who doesn’t love a little kitchen theater?
Can I eat these cheesecakes warm?
Technically, yes. But for the best texture and flavor, let them cool to room temperature and then refrigerate overnight. Patience is a virtue, especially when it comes to cheesecake.
My cheesecakes turned out wobbly in the center. Is this normal?
Yes, a bit of wobble in the center is the ultimate goal. Your mini cheesecakes will firm up as they cool. Think of it as the cheesecake’s way of keeping you on your toes.
Can I add toppings to these mini cheesecakes?
Absolutely! Feel free to get creative with sugar-free whipped cream, fresh berries, or even a sprinkle of shaved dark chocolate. Just try to avoid anything too heavy, like a full-sized bowling ball.
What if I accidentally eat all the cheesecakes in one sitting?
First, congratulate yourself on achieving peak dessert enjoyment. Second, maybe schedule an extra workout session or two. But most importantly, savor the moment and remember that life is too short to skip dessert. And don’t wonder if you feel a bit tipsy; those mini cheesecakes pack a punch!
Can I make these cheesecakes vegan?
Well, that’s a bit tricky since the main ingredients are cream cheese, eggs, and heavy cream. Practically, they are vegetarian. But hey, if you manage to create a vegan version that tastes just as good, I’d love to hear about it!
Can I make a giant version of this cheesecake?
You bet! Just bake the batter in a larger oven dish. Be sure to adjust the baking time accordingly and maybe invite some friends over to help you eat it. Or don’t.
Can I use these cheesecakes as a bribe?
While I can’t officially endorse bribery, let’s just say these cheesecakes are so delicious that they might just sway a few opinions. Use your newfound power wisely!
Can I use these cheesecakes to celebrate obscure holidays?
Absolutely! Whether it’s National Cheesecake Day or International Talk Like a Pirate Day, these mini rum cheesecakes are the perfect way to celebrate any occasion.
What if I want to eat these cheesecakes for breakfast?
Who am I to judge? Life is short, and if you want to start your day with a mini cheesecake, go for it. Just maybe pair it with a cup of coffee for balance.
Enjoy your baking, and may your Ketovore Mini Rum Cheesecakes bring you as much joy as they do deliciousness!

How I Came Up with This Easy Ketovore Dessert Recipe
This week, I set out on a mission to create a mostly animal-based cheesecake, staying true to my carnivore roots. Inspired by my Finnish No-Bake Keto Rum Cola Cheesecake, I decided to give a baked keto rum cheesecake a whirl. Armed with a springform pan and a dream, I mixed up a luscious batter of cream cheese, allulose, eggs, heavy cream, and a generous splash of dark rum. I was confident, I was ready, and I was about to learn a valuable lesson in kitchen physics.
As I poured the velvety batter into the springform pan, I noticed something alarming: the batter was as runny as a marathoner on race day. Before I could say “cheesecake disaster,” it started seeping through the bottom of the pan, creating a gooey mess that would make any kitchen novice weep. My cheesecake dreams were literally going down the drain.
But then, inspiration struck like a bolt of culinary lightning. What if I ditched the springform pan and embraced the power of ramekins? Mini cheesecakes, I thought—individual, perfectly portioned delights that wouldn’t betray me with their runniness.
I quickly divided the rest of the salvaged batter into four ramekins, popped them into the oven, and crossed my fingers. Thirty minutes later, I was greeted by the sight of perfectly baked mini cheesecakes with just the right amount of wobble. My kitchen disaster had turned into a triumph, and the Ketovore Mini Rum Cheesecakes were born.
Not only was the recipe saved, but my day was too. These mini marvels were a hit, proving that sometimes the best ideas come from the most unexpected mishaps. So, here’s to kitchen creativity, perseverance, and the sweet taste of victory—one mini cheesecake at a time!
Here’s the recipe for you to enjoy:

From whiskey-infused delights perfect for St. Patrick’s Day to nutty swirls and citrus zings, these tips will help you customize your cheesecakes and keep your taste buds entertained.
Flavoring Tips:
1. Bourbon Bliss: Swap the dark rum for bourbon to give your cheesecakes a warm, caramel-like flavor.

3. Whiskey Wonder: Substitute the dark rum with Irish whiskey for a robust, slightly smoky flavor. This variation is perfect for celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with a touch of Irish flair!
4. Vanilla Dream: For an alcohol-free version, add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla powder for a rich, aromatic flavor.
5. Citrus Zing: Add a teaspoon of lemon zest or 1 tablespoon of orange zest to the batter for a refreshing citrus note.
Topping Tips:
1. Berry Delight: Top with fresh, keto-friendly berries like raspberries, strawberries, or cranberries. You can also make a quick berry compote by simmering the berries with a bit of allulose or the sweetener of your choice.
2. Nutty Crunch: Sprinkle chopped toasted nuts like almonds, pecans, or walnuts on top for added texture and flavor.
3. Whipped Cream: Add a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream on top of each serving for an extra creamy finish. You can even mix in a bit of rum or vanilla powder for added flavor.
4. Chocolate Heaven: Grate some extra-dark chocolate over the cheesecakes or drizzle with a bit of melted chocolate for a decadent touch.
Other Variations:
1. Mocha Marvel: Add a tablespoon of instant coffee granules (with caffeine or decaffeinated) to the batter for a delightful coffee-flavored cheesecake.
2. Coconut Craze: Mix in a couple of tablespoons of unsweetened shredded coconut and 1 teaspoon of coconut flavoring into the batter for a tropical twist.
3. Pumpkin Spice: (You knew it was coming!) Add a teaspoon of homemade pumpkin pie spice to the batter and top with a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream for a festive, autumn-inspired treat.
4. Nut Butter Swirl: Swirl in a tablespoon of your favorite keto-friendly nut butter (like almond or macadamia butter) into each ramekin before baking for a deliciously nutty variation.

General Prattling
So, I’ve bounced back from my birthday disappointment and channeled that energy into creating more of my revolutionary jerky product, which has been flying off the shelves like hotcakes.
This week, I also made a whirlwind trip to our summer house for a quick land-related meeting. It was a six-hour round trip—three hours there and three hours back the next day. But it was totally worth it: I finally found two pairs of shoes that had been playing hide-and-seek with me for ages. And as a bonus, our neighbor gifted me over a pound (510 grams) of fresh elk meat! Talk about a productive trip!
Thank you for another easy to make and delicious recipe.
You are right, some whipped cream or chocolate will make those cheesecakes even more delicious.
PS. Great problem-solving skills.
Thank you so much for another kind comment! I was really happy that I could save the runny batter and turn it into pretty mini cheesecakes!
