For the cheesecake lovers, these keto cheesecake bites are a no-bake treat when you just want a nibble of cheesecake. A creamy cheesecake mixture is coated with a thin layer of sugar-free chocolate to make these irresistible balls poppable in your mouth!

Let’s be honest, sometimes you want cheesecake without making a cheesecake. While I have a standard New York style cheesecake recipe, I also have strawberry cheesecake bars and these cheesecake bites. Whatever route you go, I promise your cheesecake craving will be fixed!

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. If balls start to get too soft to dip, put them back in the freezer for several minutes to harden. Once all the balls are coated, put back in the refrigerator or freezer to harden for 10 minutes. Store cheesecake bites in the refrigerator or freezer.

Low Carb Cheesecake Bites Recipe

chocolate covered cheesecake bites on a wire rack

Cheesecake balls are bite-sized chunks of no-bake cheesecake covered in a sugar-free chocolate shell. They’re a way to satisfy your cheesecake craving without making an entire cheesecake! Store them in the fridge or freezer and they’ll be ready when you need to satisfy that sweet tooth.

Plus, this easy low-carb dessert only needs 5 ingredients! Most of them you’ll probably already have in your fridge or pantry, making these cheesecake bites simple to throw together.

Is Cream Cheese Keto?

Yes! Cream cheese is a popular ingredient on the keto diet and works in both sweet and savory recipes. It’s very low-carb with less than 1 gram carb per 1 oz of cream cheese.

No Bake Keto Cheesecake

This is an easy cheesecake recipe because it’s completely no-bake. Many cheesecake recipes require baking, but these sugar-free cheesecake bites don’t need any oven time. Just mix, scoop, and freeze for a delicious low-carb cheesecake bite.

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 more accessible and 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

These cheesecake balls are coated with a sugar free chocolate. The chocolate I like to use is by ChocZero. Their chocolates are sugar-free and sugar alcohol free. Plus they taste amazing. You can also use baker’s chocolate or a 90% dark chocolate. You’ll just want to add a hint of sweetener if you don’t like bitter chocolate.

If your chocolate is too hot, it will start to melt your cheesecake balls. Cool your chocolate slightly, or put your cheesecake bites back in the freezer to harden if they start to get soft.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different sweetener instead of monk fruit blend?

Yes! You can substitute the monk fruit blend with erythritol or stevia, but sweetness levels will differ, so adjust to taste.

How should I store these keto cheesecake bites?

Store the cheesecake bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. You can also freeze them for longer storage; just make sure to separate the layers with parchment paper.

Is there a dairy-free option for the cream cheese?

Yes! You can use a dairy-free cream cheese alternative made from nuts or coconut. Just make sure it has a similar texture to traditional cream cheese so it holds together well.

Can I make these bites without chocolate coating?

Yes! You can skip the chocolate coating if you prefer a lighter version. The cheesecake bites on their own are still delicious!

Are these cheesecake bites suitable for a low-carb diet?

Yes, these cheesecake bites are great for a low-carb diet. Each one has just 1.1g net carbs, so they're an easy treat to fit into your day.
