Creamy, bite-sized strawberry cheesecake treats perfect for keto snacking. Ready in 15 minutes with just 1g net carbs each.
# What You Need:
→ Dairy Base
01 - 8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
02 - 4 tbsp unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
03 - 2 tbsp heavy cream
→ Sweetener
04 - 1/3 cup powdered erythritol or preferred keto sweetener
→ Fruit
05 - 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and finely chopped
→ Flavoring
06 - 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
→ Optional Coating
07 - 1/4 cup freeze-dried strawberries, crushed into powder
# Directions:
01 - Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat softened cream cheese and butter in a medium bowl until completely smooth and creamy, approximately 2 minutes.
02 - Add powdered erythritol, heavy cream, and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture. Continue mixing until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is uniform in texture.
03 - Gently fold the finely chopped fresh strawberries into the cheesecake mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix to maintain strawberry pieces throughout.
04 - If the mixture feels too soft to shape, cover and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes until it reaches a workable consistency for rolling.
05 - Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon measure, portion the mixture into 16 equal pieces. Roll each portion between your palms to form smooth, round balls.
06 - For extra strawberry flavor and visual appeal, roll each fat bomb in the crushed freeze-dried strawberry powder, pressing gently to adhere the coating.
07 - Arrange the fat bombs on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour until completely firm. Transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
