I’m already for the new year. I’m trying to make and freeze dishes that are low carb and satisfy certain cravings so I won’t go off my diet. I have a lot of recipes for low carb sweets but I was craving cheesecake the other day and so I made these low carb chocolate cheesecake bites. I rolled some in toasted coconut and others in toasted pecans. Both were delicious and even got the thumbs up from my picky father in law! He’s diabetic so whenever I make something sugar free and sweet I have him taste test. 

 As I mentioned above I have a lot of low carb sweet recipes to alleviate my sweet tooth cravings. Check out my recipes page and scroll down to low carb sweets.

Cheesecake Bites Recipe

This is another easy recipe. You simply beat all the ingredients together with your mixer. Then refrigerate the cream cheese mixture for an hour so it hardens and is easier to handle. Take a spoon full and drop into a bowl of toasted coconut or toasted pecan bits. Roll them around in the nuts or coconut and then you can take them out and roll them into a ball. One thing you need to note is that you need to keep these refrigerated.

Some of the special ingredients I use are:

  • Swerve sweetener
  • Vanilla creme liquid stevia
  • unsweetened coconut

You can use different sweeteners if you like but you will have to play around with amounts to get the desired sweetness you want.

Low Carb Chocolate Cheesecake Bites In A Nutshell

  • Beat together cream cheese, cream, sweetener and cocoa in a mixer.
  • Refrigerate for 1 hour to harden.
  • Drop spoonfuls in a bowl of toasted coconut or toasted pecan pieces and roll around.
  • Take out and form a ball with your hands and then store in the refrigerator. 

Well I hope you enjoy these as much as I did. I can see myself making these on a regular basis and maybe playing around with the filling. I might try one of my many sugar free Torani syrups next time.

The nutritional information for 1 bite (depending on the coating) is:

Coconut – 66 cals / 6.7g fat / 5.2g carbs / 4.3g fiber / 0.6g protein = 0.9g net carbs 

Pecans – 72 cals / 7.3g fat / 5.0g carbs / 4.2g fiber / 0.7g protein = 0.8g net carbs

    I made these today and they were awesome! More like chocolate cream cheese mousse! I used 4tblsps of swerve and 1 tsp vanilla extract. I also placed the mixture in mini muffin foils and froze them (instead of balls). Thanks so much!

    I just made these but added ground macadamia nuts and rolled it in ground almonds and I’m legitimately obsessed. I popped them in the freezer and they taste so close to my amazing Christmas fudge!..obsessed. thank you!

    Delicious! May I ask where the fiber comes from in this recipe. I do my fitness pal.
    Thank you!

      Hi Bonnie,
      The fiber comes mostly from the Swerve sweetener. The grams of carbs and fiber are equal for a zero net carb number for the Swerve. The other bit of fiber comes from the cocoa and coconut or pecans. Hope that makes sense. If you want take out the Swerve as it has very little if any effect on the calculation.

    I did this recipes but when I put the cream cheese mixture in the fridge for 1 hour, it didn’t get firm at all. I leave it longer in the fridge and still the same thing. I didn’t want to waste it so I add some almond flour and I bake it. Too bad

      Hi Linda,
      I’m sorry you had problems. When I made these, they were pretty loose and you had to drop a spoonful of the mixture into the nuts or coconut so that you can form a ball. However if it’s more like a liquid, that isn’t right. Did you whip it long enough so that it gets thicker from whipping air into it? You can also use less whipping cream and see if that works better for you. Hope this might help a bit.

      FYI I have not made this recipe YET! I’m not sure this is your situation, but I have found that if I use fat free cream cheese in recipes that you want it to stay firm they seem to be too soft more like a dip.

    Just did these with splenda to lower the carb count and I made my pecans into an almost coarse flour in my coffee grinder with a touch of whole cinnamon and I have to say these turned out amazing!

    Where do you get the vanilla liquid stevia.

      I order it online but they may have it in a healthy food store. You can use regular liquid stevia and a bit of vanilla extract if you like. I get mine (SweetLeaf Vanilla Creme) on Amazon or Vitacost.com.

      Thanks Jolina, I have a big sweet tooth too so I have to find other options. I seem to get migraines from regular sweets so that is why I always try to make the low carb alternatives.

    Do you think pourable coconut milk (canned) would work in place of the heavy cream?

    Reply

      Hi Monika, I don’t know if coconut milk will work in place of cream because the cream really whips up with the cream cheese to make it light and fluffy. I do think you may be able to use coconut cream in a can. I know Trader Joe sells it like that. It’s much thicker and creamier. Some coconut milk you can place in the refrigerator and then the next day it will separate into water and cream and you can then use that cream. Hope that helps!
