Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup powdered erythritol
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 3/4 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons powdered erythritol (for crust)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease silicone molds.
- In a bowl, combine almond flour, melted unsalted butter, and powdered erythritol for the crust. Stir until it resembles damp sand.
- Press about 1 teaspoon of the crust mixture into the bottom of each muffin cup, forming an even base.
- Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes until golden and fragrant. Let cool completely before adding the filling.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Add heavy whipping cream and powdered erythritol to the cream cheese, then continue whipping until the mixture thickens and holds soft peaks.
- Stir in vanilla extract and lemon zest.
- Gently fold in chopped fresh strawberries, taking care not to overmix.
- Spoon the cheesecake filling evenly into the cooled crust bases, filling to the top and smoothing the surface.
- Refrigerate the bites for at least 2 hours or overnight to let the flavors meld and the filling firm up.
- Carefully remove the cheesecake bites from molds or liners. Garnish with a strawberry slice or powdered erythritol if desired and serve chilled.
Notes
Use softened cream cheese to avoid lumps. Use powdered erythritol for smooth texture. Chill bites for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results. If filling is too soft after chilling, freeze for 10 minutes to firm up. Avoid overmixing strawberries to prevent watery filling. Baking crust while whipping filling saves time.
