Sugar-Free Cheesecake Bites – Low-Carb, No-Bake, and Dangerously Good

Sugar-Free Cheesecake Bites – Low-Carb, No-Bake, and Dangerously Good

Sometimes I want cheesecake. Sometimes I want portion control. These give me both. No crust fuss, no baking drama, and way fewer dishes. Plus: That soft cheesecake middle wrapped around a raspberry hit? IYKYK.

💡 What Makes These Work So Well

  • The almond flour thickens the filling just enough to roll—no gelatin needed.
  • Using toasted blanched almonds or coconut on the outside mimics crust without the carb load.
  • They’re freezer-friendly, portion-controlled, and literally done in under 45 minutes.
  • A raspberry center adds brightness without sugar overload.

🧾 Smart Swaps and Why They Matter

  • 1 cup cream cheese (240g) – Full-fat = best texture + satiety.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract – Enhances the cream cheese into actual dessert territory.
  • 3 tbsp powdered erythritol – Blends smoothly; no gritty bites.
  • ½ cup almond flour (50g) – Binds the mixture just enough for shaping.
  • 12 raspberries (40g) – Adds tart pop. Only ~0.3g net carbs per berry.
  • ¾ cup blanched almonds (100g), toasted & chopped OR unsweetened desiccated coconut – For rolling; texture + flavor without sugar.

🧠 Keto Cooking Tricks That Help

  • I freeze my raspberries on a tray first—it makes rolling easier.
  • Want it sweeter? Add 1–2 drops liquid stevia with erythritol.
  • Coat in a mix of toasted coconut + chopped macadamias = texture heaven.

🧊 Freezing + Reheating Without Ruining It

  • Fridge: 5 days in airtight container.
  • Freezer: Up to 3 months. Let sit at room temp 10–15 mins before eating.
  • Texture note: Softer if stored chilled, firmer if frozen (both are good).

❓ Keto Cooking What-Ifs (Answered)

Can I use granulated sweetener?
Only if you blend it first—otherwise it’ll stay gritty.

Are these fat bombs?
Technically yes—but way more balanced in taste and portion.

Do they melt at room temp?
They soften but don’t melt. Still safe for parties (if they last that long).
