Ingredients
| 1 1/4 cups low-carb cereal flakes | ||
| 1/2 cup raw almonds, lightly toasted | ||
| Unsalted butter | 3 Tablespoon, melted | |
| Egg white | 1 Large | |
| Cream cheese package | 3 | |
| 2/3 cup granular sugar substitute | ||
| Heavy cream | 1/2 Cup (16 tbs) | |

Directions
1. Heat oven to 350°F.
2. Combine cereal and nuts in a food processor and process until finely ground; add butter and egg white; process until blended. Distribute crumbs evenly over six 4-inch mini springform pans; press to cover bottoms, forming a crust. Bake until just golden, about 13 minutes; don't worry if the crust doesn't look dry. Set on a rack to cool. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F.
3. Meanwhile, combine cream cheese and sugar substitute in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer at medium-high speed until creamy, scraping down sides of bowl occasionally. Beat in cream, then reduce speed to medium and beat in eggs, one at a time, until just combined. Stir in zest. Set pans on baking sheet; pour batter into pans. Bake until lightly puffed and just set in center, 21 to 24 minutes. Cool on baking sheet for 15 minutes; transfer to rack and cool completely. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until cold, about 3 hours.
4. When ready to serve, unlock sides of pans. Remove cheesecakes from pans and set on plates. Toss strawberries with brandy, if using, and spoon over cheesecakes.
