Instructions
Low Carb Lemon Cupcakes
Place the lemon quarters (make sure to remove any seeds) in the food processor and using the blade attachment, blitz until almost pureed. It is nice to see small tiny pieces of lemon peel in the final baking mix.
Add all the other ingredients. Pulse until smooth.
Place a spoon of the cupcake batter into each mini cupcake case.
Bake at 180C/350F for 10-12 minutes. Test the centre with a clean fork or skewer to ensure they are cooked thoroughly.
Lemon Icing/Frosting
Mix the softened cream cheese, natural yoghurt, lemon zest, and juice with a fork until smooth.
Slowly add your preferred sweetener until it is to your taste. Some will prefer it with no sweetener (it's quite a sour taste), others are not ready for this and may require more sweetener.
When the cupcakes are completely cold, decorate the keto lemon cupcakes with creamy lemon sugar-free frosting. Top each one with a tiny piece of lemon as shown.
Notes
This recipe makes a large number of mini keto cupcakes. They are great to put in the freezer for later. Place in an airtight container with a sheet of baking paper in between each layer of cupcakes. Remove a few at a time to defrost when required.Sweetener Notes: Some will prefer it with no sweetener and quite a sour taste, others are not ready for this and may require more sweetener.
