Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/3 cup powdered erythritol or your preferred low carb sweetener
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup almond flour for optional crust or topping
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted, optional, for crust
  • Fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries) for garnish

Instructions

Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture

  • Place the softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed to beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add sour cream, powdered erythritol, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and salt. Mix until fully combined and silky without lumps.

Optional Almond Flour Crust

  • Combine the almond flour with melted butter in a small bowl. Stir until mixture resembles wet sand. Press firmly into the bottom of mini silicone muffin cups or a lined mini muffin tin. This crust is optional.

Assemble the Bites

  • Spoon the cream cheese mixture over the crust or directly into the muffin cups if skipping the crust. Smooth the tops with the back of a spoon or a small spatula. Do not overfill; they should be bite-sized.

Chill to Set

  • Place the tray of cheesecake bites in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to firm up. They should be fully set before enjoying to hold their shape when popped out.

Garnish and Serve

  • Before serving, top each cheesecake bite with a fresh berry or a small drizzle of sugar-free syrup if desired. Serve chilled for best texture and taste.

Notes

Make sure cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps. Use powdered erythritol for smoother texture. Silicone muffin cups make removal easy. For tangier flavor, add more lemon juice or citric acid. Chill overnight for better taste. Customize sweetness to preference. Variations include chocolate, cinnamon spice, lemon blueberry, peanut butter, nut-free crust, and vegan alternatives.
