Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 34 tbsp keto-friendly sweetener (such as erythritol or monk fruit sweetener), adjusted to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and keto-friendly sweetener. Use a hand mixer or whisk to blend the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring the sweetener is fully incorporated.
  2. Form the Bites: Spoon the filling into small silicone molds, mini cupcake liners, or a lined baking dish to create uniform bite-sized pieces. Smooth the tops with the back of the spoon or spatula.
  3. Chill to Set: Cover the bites or the baking dish with plastic wrap or a lid and place them in the refrigerator. Chill for at least 2 hours or until the cheesecake bites are firm enough to hold their shape.
  4. Serve and Enjoy: Once chilled, remove the bites from the molds or cut into squares if using a baking dish. Serve cold as a refreshing, keto-friendly dessert snack.

Notes

  • For best results, use full-fat cream cheese that is fully softened to avoid lumps.
  • You can adjust the sweetness level based on personal preference by adding more or less sweetener.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Optional: Garnish with a small slice of lemon or a sprinkle of lemon zest for presentation.
