Creamy, tangy, strawberry-filled, and deliciously richβthese little cheesecake fat bombs make an easy low-carb, keto-friendly treat when you want something sweet without regular sugar.
π₯£ Ingredients
- 8 oz (225 g) full-fat cream cheese, softened
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
- 2β3 tbsp powdered monk fruit sweetener, to taste
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1β2 tbsp heavy cream, as needed
- β cup finely chopped fresh strawberries
- 1 tbsp strawberry-flavored sugar-free jam or preserves, optional
- 1β2 tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut, optional, for coating
π©βπ³ Instructions
- Prepare the cream cheese
Let the cream cheese and butter soften at room temperature. This helps create a smooth, lump-free mixture. - Make the cheesecake mixture
Add cream cheese, softened butter, monk fruit sweetener, and vanilla to a mixing bowl. Beat with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy. - Add the strawberries
Gently fold in the finely chopped strawberries. If using sugar-free strawberry preserves, swirl them through the mixture for extra strawberry flavor. - Chill the mixture
Refrigerate for about 30β45 minutes, or until firm enough to scoop and shape. - Shape the fat bombs
Scoop out approximately 1 tablespoon of the mixture at a time and roll into small balls. If desired, roll them lightly in unsweetened shredded coconut. - Freeze
Place the balls on a parchment-lined plate or tray. Freeze for 1β2 hours, until firm. - Serve
Let them sit at room temperature for about 5β10 minutes before eating so they become creamy rather than rock-hard.
βοΈ Storage
- Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
- Freezer: Freeze for up to 1 month. Keep them in a sealed freezer-safe container and thaw briefly before serving.
π‘ Keto Tips
- Use powdered monk fruit sweetener so the texture stays smooth.
- Choose unsweetened strawberries and check the label on sugar-free preserves for added carbs.
- For a firmer texture, freeze longer.
- For a more cheesecake-like flavor, add 1β2 teaspoons of fresh lemon juice.
- For extra protein, you can mix in a small amount of unflavored or vanilla protein powder, although this will change the texture slightly.
