Keto Cheesecake Bites
Description
The recipe begins by whisking softened cream cheese with vanilla extract and stevia glycerite, a powdered sweetener substituting for sugar. This creates a smooth, flavorful base without added carbs from sugar. The mixture is chilled in the freezer briefly to firm up sufficiently to handle like dough. Using a tablespoon scoop, portions are rolled into balls by hand.
The cheesecake balls are then rolled in coatings such as unsweetened cocoa powder or shredded unsweetened coconut, which add texture and mild flavors complementing the creamy filling. The bites can be served right away or refrigerated for 30 minutes to set further before serving. This method yields compact, creamy bite-sized treats suitable for low-carb diets.
These cheesecake bites keep well in the refrigerator for up to five days if stored airtight. Removing them 15 minutes before serving softens the texture similar to room temperature cheesecake. Alternative toppings like almond flour or powdered peanut butter provide variation while other powdered sweeteners can be used, though liquid sweeteners besides stevia have not been tested.
Ingredients
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon stevia glycerite equals 2 tablespoons of sugar
Toppings:
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder unsweetened
- 2 tablespoons coconut unsweetened, shredded
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, using a hand whisk, whisk together the cream cheese, vanilla, and sweetener until smooth.
- Place the mixture in the freezer for 30 minutes to harden. You want the mixture hard enough that you can work with it like dough. If using a shallow bowl, you might be able to freeze the mixture for just 20 minutes.
- Scoop out a measuring tablespoon of mixture per bite. Roll the mixture in your hands to shape it into a ball.
- Place the toppings in shallow bowls. Roll the cheesecake balls in the toppings.
- You can now enjoy your keto treats! Alternatively, place them in an airtight container and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow them to set.
Notes
- Other suitable toppings include almond flour and powdered peanut butter besides cocoa and shredded coconut.
- Use powdered sweeteners to avoid grainy texture; liquid sweeteners other than stevia are not tested.
- Store cheesecake bites airtight in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Remove from fridge 15 minutes before serving to enjoy at room temperature.
