Low FODMAP mini chocolate chip cheesecakes

Did you already start thinking about your Christmas dinner for this year? Because I have a very sweet recipe for you that is perfect for Christmas dessert. These super cute low FODMAP mini chocolate chip cheesecakes!

I always volunteer to create the dessert for Christmas dinner, as dessert is my favourite part of dinner. The only difficult part is that you are often already so full after dinner that you don’t have much space left for dessert. Because of that, these mini cheesecakes are perfect! They are bite-sized cheesecakes that everybody will be able to save some space for after a larger dinner.

The cheesecakes are easy to make ánd you can prepare them one or two days beforehand, so that is handy when you have a lot of different courses to prepare. You can serve the cheesecakes as a part of a grand dessert, with lots of little other desserts. Or you can serve them as a single dessert with some low FODMAP red fruits on the side for a fresh touch.

Large eaters can maybe want to eat two mini cheesecakes as a dessert, but for most people one cheesecake will be enough after a dinner.

I advise to make the cheesecakes at least one day before you serve them. They taste the best when you have left them in the fridge overnight. Can you only make them on the day that you want to serve them? That’s also possible. Make sure that you put the cheesecakes in the fridge for at least 3 hours before you serve them.

The ingredients of the low FODMAP mini chocolate chip cheesecakes

To make lactose-free mini cheesecakes, I used lactose-free cream cheese and lactose-free whipping cream for the topping. This recipe does contain butter because butter is low lactose and is low FODMAP. But if you have to eat strictly lactose-free, you can also replace the butter with coconut oil.

Instead of buying lactose-free products, you could also buy normal cream cheese and whipping cream and make them lactose-free using lactase drops.

Sometimes, I also choose to make a dessert using normal dairy products without using lactase drops. I take my lactase enzymes to the dinner and when we eat the dessert, I take a lactase enzyme pill, so I can still enjoy the dessert without stomach problems.

I do this because I find it a shame to use expensive lactose-free products or lactase drops, when most of the dessert will be eaten by people who can tolerate lactose. With gluten and fructans, this is another story of course, I have no pills to help with that, so I do make the whole dessert gluten-free.

In this recipe, I used the gluten-free chocolate chip cookies from the brand Schär. These cookies are FODMAP certified and are therefore suitable to use when you are on the low FODMAP diet. If you have any other low FODMAP chocolate chip brand in your supermarket, you can use that too.
