Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop 1 inch balls of cream cheese filling and place on a parchment line baking tray. Place in the freezer for 1-2 hours or overnight to harden.

Once hardened, melt chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl at 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until melted or melt using the double boiler method.

Dip the balls in chocolate

Using a fork, dip each cream cheese ball into the melted chocolate and place the ball back on the tray to cool.

Is Cream Cheese Keto?

Yes! Cream cheese is a popular cheese used on the keto diet. It can be used in sweet and savory recipes. It is very low-carb with less than 1 gram carb per 1 oz of cream cheese.

No Bake Keto Cheesecake

One reason why this is an easy keto cheesecake recipe, is that it is a no-bake cheesecake. Many cheesecake recipes require that you bake them; however, this recipe for sugar-free cheesecake bites doesn’t require any oven time. Just mixing and freezing are all the actions you need to do to make a delicious low-carb cheesecake ball.

Keto Sweeteners

To sweeten your keto cheesecake bites, you have a couple different options. You can sweeten the cheesecake mixture using a sugar syrup or sugar-free sweetener.

Allulose syrup – Has zero net carbs and doesn’t affect the blood sugars or insulin. Limited digestive stress as well.
Monkfruit blend sweetener – Using a keto approved sweetener is a little more accessible and are available at most major grocery stores now. Use my code KETOFOCUS to save on your order of Lakanto, my favorite sweetener blend.

Sugar Free Chocolate

Keto Cheesecake Balls are coated with a sugar free chocolate. The keto chocolate that I like to use is by ChocZero. Their chocolate are sugar-free and sugar alcohol free. Plus they are the best tasting chocolate. However, you can use baker’s chocolate or a 90% chocolate. You just may need to add a hint of sweetener if you don’t like bitter chocolate.

If you chocolate is too hot, it may start to melt your cheesecake balls. So you may need to cool your chocolate slightly or put your cheesecake bites back in the freezer to harden if they start to get soft.
