Ingredients


Directions


  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C). Line a mini muffin pan with 24 parchment liners.

  2. Place the raspberries, water, and powdered sweetener into a very small saucepan. Heat over low heat until the raspberries start to soften, about 2 to 3 minutes.

  3. Use a spatula or back of a spoon to smash the berries. Simmer for a few more minutes, until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.

  4. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the cream cheese and powdered sweetener together at low to medium speed, until fluffy. 

  5. Beat in the egg, then the lemon juice and vanilla extract. (Keep the mixer at low to medium the whole time; too high speed will introduce too many air bubbles, which we don't want.)

  6. Spoon the cheesecake filling evenly into the muffin liners.

  7. Spoon a 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 mL) of raspberry sauce over each cream cheese cup. Use a toothpick to swirl into the batter.

  8. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until the bites are puffed up and almost set, but still jiggly.

  9. Remove the cheesecake bites from the oven. They might fall, which is normal. Cool completely at room temperature, then chill for at least an hour, until firm and cold.

  10. To serve, pipe a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream into the center of each bite and top with a fresh raspberry.


Notes


PRO TIP: Don’t be alarmed if the keto cheesecake bites fall in the center a little when you remove them from the oven. This is normal, and you didn’t do anything wrong – it’s all the better for filling with whipped cream.

To serve these gorgeous keto cheesecake fat bombs, add some whipped cream and garnish with a fresh raspberry. Enjoy!

Because I am confident this crustless keto cheesecake bites recipe is going to become a household favorite – or in case you don’t have raspberries on hand – I thought I’d toss out a few ideas for you to try out:

  • Dark Chocolate – Everything is better with a little bit of dark chocolate! Shave a few curls and put on top or add some to the batter when baking.
  • Toasted Coconut – Adds a little bit of a crunch and different flavor to the cream cheese fat bombs. Plus, toasted coconut is delicious!
  • Pecans – Crush a few pecans and sprinkle on top before serving. They taste great and add some texture.
  • Sugar-free caramel sauce – So good drizzled on top!

WHY DO MINI CHEESECAKE BITES CRACK AFTER BAKING?

Just like a regular cheesecake, mini cheesecake bites can crack after baking if you over-mixed the batter during the preparation process, or from sudden temperature changes. Keep the mixer on low when beating the ingredients, and let the bites cool at room temperature at the end before chilling.

HOW DO YOU STORE MINI CHEESECAKE BITES?

Store leftover mini cheesecake bites in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Make sure they are in an airtight container, so moisture and air don’t get to them.

CAN YOU FREEZE CHEESECAKE FAT BOMBS?

If you aren’t going to eat the low carb cheesecake bites within five days, you can freeze them. These easy keto cheesecake fat bombs will last approximately 6-8 months in the freezer.

They are ideal for grabbing a couple out when you need a quick snack. Simply thaw on the counter for a few minutes to soften before eating.
