Ingredients
• 3/4 cup / 170g cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup / 57g butter, softened
• 1/2 cup / 75g strawberries, fresh or frozen
• 1 tablespoon / 15 ml pure vanilla extract
• 10–15 drops liquid Stevia, or to taste
Instructions
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and butter. Using an electric hand mixer, beat on medium speed until light, fluffy, and completely smooth.
2. In a separate small bowl, thoroughly mash the strawberries with a fork. Stir in the pure vanilla extract and liquid Stevia until well combined.
3. Add the strawberry mixture to the whipped cream cheese and butter. Beat again on low speed until everything is just combined and the mixture has a uniform pink color.
4. Spoon the mixture evenly into 10 silicone muffin molds. Smooth the tops with a spatula.
5. Place the molds in the freezer and freeze for 3-4 hours, or until completely firm.
6. Once frozen, pop the cheesecake bites out of the molds. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer.

Pro Tips
• For the creamiest texture, ensure your butter and cream cheese are truly at room temperature. Microwaving them can cause separation and a greasy result.
• Feel free to adjust the sweetness. Start with 10 drops of Stevia, taste the mixture, and add more if desired. You can also substitute with powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener.
• For an extra smooth, seedless filling, puree the strawberries in a small blender before adding them to the cream cheese mixture.
• Experiment with other low-carb berries! Raspberries or blackberries would also be delicious in this recipe.
FAQ
Q: Can I use a different sweetener instead of Stevia
A: Yes, you can substitute the liquid Stevia with other low-carb sweeteners like powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener. Be sure to adjust the amount to your desired level of sweetness.
Q: How should I store these cheesecake bites
A: For best results, store the cheesecake bites in an airtight container in the freezer. They are meant to be served frozen and will soften if left at room temperature for too long.
Q: Can I use other fruits besides strawberries
A: Absolutely! This recipe works wonderfully with other low-carb berries. Try using raspberries or blackberries for a delicious variation.
Q: Why is my cheesecake mixture not smooth
A: For the creamiest texture, it’s crucial that your cream cheese and butter are fully softened to room temperature before mixing. Using them while still cold can result in a lumpy texture, and microwaving them can cause a greasy separation.
