Four Delicious & Satisfying Cinnamon Cheesecake Bites. |
1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, at room temperature
2 tablespoons Lakanto Classic Monkfruit granulated sweetener, or granulated sweetener of choice
8 ounces cream cheese (not low-fat), at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup almond flour
2 teaspoon cinnamon
parchment paper
waxed paper
Coating:
1/4 cup Lakanto Classic granulated sweetener, or granulated sweetener of choice
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Icing:
1 ounce cream cheese, at room temperature
2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
2 teaspoons Lakanto Classic granulated sweetener, or granulated sweetener of choice
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Method:
With an electric mixer, cream together the softened butter and sweetener. Add the cream cheese and vanilla to the butter mixture. Beat until creamy and well blended. Mix in the almond flour and cinnamon. Cover and freeze for 30 to 60 minutes, or until the mixture is firm enough to form into small balls.
In a very small (6 to 8 ounce) bowl, stir the sweetener and cinnamon until well blended. Set aside.
Whisk together the cream cheese, heavy cream, sweetener and vanilla until smooth. (If the icing is too thick, add a teaspoon or two more of cream.)
Line a pan (that will fit in your freezer) with parchment paper. Remove the mixture from the freezer. Use a small cookie scoop to make cheesecake balls, or form 2 tablespoons of the chilled cheesecake mixture into 20 balls, with your hands. Roll each ball in the small bowl of cinnamon "sugar" and place on the parchment lined pan. Drizzle the icing over the top of each cheesecake bite. Place in the freezer for another 30 to 60 minutes.
Remove from the freezer and place in a waxed paper lined airtight container.
For a creamier treat, store in the refrigerator. For a more solid (and colder) treat, store in the freezer. (I prefer the frig.) Makes 20 servings of cheesecake bites.
Notes: These are so Delicious and satisfying ~ I even ate just one for breakfast! (My non KETO family members loved them, too.) These will keep for one month in the freezer, but they will be eaten in 20 days or less!
