These creamy keto strawberry cheesecake bites are a quick, low-carb dessert with no crust, blending fresh strawberries into a smooth, tangy cheesecake base. Perfect for a guilt-free treat that’s easy to make and delicious.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream, full-fat
  • 1/3 cup (65 g) erythritol or preferred keto-friendly sweetener
  • 1 cup (150 g) fresh or thawed strawberries, pureed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon (about 2.5 g) gelatin powder
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) cold water
  • Optional: almond extract, chopped fresh mint, dairy-free alternatives (coconut cream and vegan cream cheese)

Instructions

  1. Bloom the gelatin by sprinkling 1 teaspoon gelatin powder over 2 tablespoons cold water in a small saucepan. Let sit for 5 minutes.
  2. Warm the gelatin mixture over low heat, stirring constantly until dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. Puree 1 cup fresh or thawed strawberries in a blender until smooth. Optional: strain through a fine mesh sieve for smoother texture.
  4. Beat 8 ounces softened cream cheese with 1/3 cup erythritol using an electric mixer until creamy and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Mix in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon lemon zest into the cream cheese mixture.
  6. Whip 1/2 cup heavy cream in a separate bowl until soft peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
  7. Slowly whisk the cooled gelatin into the strawberry puree until evenly incorporated.
  8. Gently fold the strawberry-gelatin mixture into the cream cheese base until combined.
  9. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the batter, preserving air for a light texture.
  10. Spoon the batter into silicone molds or mini muffin tins lined with paper liners, filling about 3/4 full.
  11. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until set but still creamy and soft.
  12. Serve chilled, optionally garnished with a fresh strawberry slice or mint leaf.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps. Whip heavy cream to soft peaks, not stiff. Bloom gelatin properly and avoid boiling it. Fold whipped cream gently to keep air in. Chill bites for at least 2 hours for best texture. For softer bites, reduce gelatin by half. Use silicone molds for easy removal or paper liners as a budget option.
