    You know the happy dance you do when you bite into something delicious? Well I guarantee that these keto cheesecake bites are going to make you do that dance.

    You won’t care where you are or who might be watching. You are just going to be shaking that thang all over, completely oblivious to the outside world. Because chocolate covered cheesecake bites are pure happiness and that is no exaggeration!

    And best of all, it’s a no-bake cheesecake recipe, so it’s extra easy to make!

    Keto No Bake Cheesecake

    I love all sorts of cheesecake, and I don’t mind spending the extra effort making a big one when I have the time. It’s more work but it can definitely be worth it.

    No bake cheesecake, on the other hand, is really remarkably simple. It also takes no eggs, so it’s ideal for those with egg allergies and intolerances. And it can be just as creamy and delicious as the baked kind, if you take care to properly blend your ingredients.

    I have many wonderful and well-loved keto no bake cheesecakes, including my famous Keto Blueberry Cheesecake Pie, and my Mini Keto Chocolate Cheesecake.

    When researching cheesecake bites, I decided to go with a no bake version. I could tell it would simplify the process significantly.

    Most cheesecake bite recipes have you baking the cheesecake, cooling it, freezing it, cutting it into small squares, re-freezing the squares, and then dipping it into the chocolate.

    SO MANY EXTRA STEPS! Who needs all that extra work? Especially in the warm weather, when you don’t want to turn on the oven!

    Chocolate Covered Cheesecake Bites

    I first spotted cheesecake bites like these on Gluten Free on a Shoestring, and thought they would be a great recipe to ketofy. I then spotted similar treats on Handle the Heat, and these ones were fully dipped in chocolate. I knew that was the way I wanted to go.

    But both of these recipes required baking the cheesecake bars and I decided to make it easier by doing no bake cheesecake.

    And then I decided to make it even easier on myself by making the keto cheesecake bites in silicone mini muffin cups. That way, there would be no need to freeze and cut up, and freeze again.

    May I say it worked like a dream? A creamy, rich chocolate covered cheesecake dream!

    Tips for Keto Cheesecake Bites

    Keto no bake cheesecake bites are easy to make, but here are my best tips for getting it right:

    • I used pecan flour for an extra flavorful cheesecake crust. But you can easily swap in almond flour instead. And if you want to be nut-free, try using sunflower seed flour.
    • Press the crust very firmly into the bottom of the mini muffin liners, so it holds together well.
    • You really need a powdered, or confectioner’s style, sweetener for both the crust and the filling, so it’s not gritty.
    • Room temperature ingredients are very important for the cheesecake filling. If you try to mix them when they are cold or not properly softened, you will end up with a lumpy filling mixture.
    • Press the filling into the cups with a spoon to try to reduce gaps and air bubbles. Then smooth the tops as best you can. It doesn’t have to be perfect, as the chocolate coating will hide any imperfections.
    • Always melt the chocolate double-boiler style so that it doesn’t seize. I always add cocoa butter to help it melt more smoothly. If you don’t have cocoa butter, you can use 1 tablespoon of coconut oil.
    • Make sure your bites are frozen solid before dipping! Then quickly toss them around in the melted chocolate with two forks, lift them out, and tap off the excess chocolate. The chocolate will set quickly because the bites are frozen.

    Storing Keto Cheesecake Bites

    These little treats are a great make-ahead recipe. Because you freeze the bites before dipping in chocolate, you can make them several weeks in advance and keep them frozen.

    I do recommend dipping in chocolate closer to the time of serving, so they don’t become gray or freezer burnt.

    Keep your cheesecake bites refrigerated, although they can sit out for an hour or so before serving, assuming you don’t live in a very hot climate.

    They will last in the fridge for up to a week, as long as your cream cheese and cream were fresh.

    Equipment

    • 30 mini muffin cups (silicone or parchment)

    Ingredients

    Crust

    • ½ cup pecan flour (can sub almond flour)
    • 2 tablespoon powdered Swerve Sweetener
    • ⅛ tsp salt
    • 1 ½ tablespoon butter, melted

    Cheesecake Filling

    • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
    • ⅓ cup powdered Swerve Sweetener
    • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
    • ¼ cup heavy whipping cream (room temperature)

    Chocolate Coating

    • 4 ounces sugar-free dark chocolate chopped
    • ¾ ounce cocoa butter
    US Customary – Metric

    Instructions

    Crust

    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the pecan flour, sweetener and salt. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture clumps together.
    • Divide the mixture among 30 silicone mini muffin liners and press firmly into the bottom (about 1 teaspoon per cup). You can also use parchment muffin liners, but place them into a mini muffin tray so that they maintain their shape.

    Filling

    • In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Then beat in the sweetener and vanilla until well combined. Beat in the heavy cream until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
    • Spoon about 1 tablespoon of filling over each crust and press down to fill the whole cup. Smooth the tops.
    • Place in the freezer until solid, about 4 hours or up to overnight. Once frozen, you can remove the cupcake liners.

    Chocolate Coating

    • In a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water, melt the chocolate and cocoa butter together until smooth. Remove from heat. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or waxed paper.
    • Working with one cheesecake bite at a time and keeping the rest frozen, dip each into the chocolate, tossing to coat with a fork. Lift out and tap the fork on the side of the bowl a few times to remove the excess chocolate.
    • Place on the prepared sheet pan to set and repeat with the remaining cheesecake bites.
    • Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.

      Hiya, would you be able to add this in metric as I’d love to try making it but don’t understand the US cup measurements! Many thanks from Sarah in the UK ????

        Should be very easy to google the conversions for a recipe this simple, since much of it is in ounces. It takes me a long time to go back and hand correct for metric.

          I, too, like using metric weights as opposed to volume measurements to simplify adding ingredients to a bowl. What’s been working for me is to print out the recipe, look up all the conversions that may simplify measuring (keeping teaspoons, tablespoons as is) and noting all the metric #s to my printed recipe. It took awhile to measure out all the different keto ingredients that I didn’t find standard metric measures and create my own conversion table, but once it’s done it’s pretty fast to do on each new recipe {King Arthur has a good conversion table, but a lot of keto ingredients are not included). I also write the equivalents on the top of my flour and sweetener containers for a quick reference. Have loved every recipe of Carolyn’s I’ve tried!

      I absolutely wish i had the time to make these into truffles! I am really pressed for time, so i just doubled it and put everything in a 9×9, it fit perfectly! We’ll just have bars instead. They are absolutely delicious! Thank you for providing so many wonderful recipes so that i can have Christmas cookies 🙂 I also made your German Chocolate Truffles and will soon make the Andes Fudge. You are a genius!!!

        You can’t. It’s not a good sub. But you can try sunflower seed flour if you need to be nut-free.

        They have to be frozen if you want to dip them in chocolate. After that, they can be simply refrigerated.

      Where do you find cocoa butter? The only kind I’ve seen is what you put on your skin for dry skin.

      Hi Carolyn,
      These look great, I’ll definitely add them to the rotation. Cheesecake & chocolate r my 2 favorite sweet things. Lol
      I see u chose Lilys Baking bar 4oz as to using the Lilys Chocolate Chips. Can I ask what the advantage is? I checked the price on the baking bar @7.99 & thgt is was too high priced. I can usually pick up the chips for 5.99 for 9oz bag.
      Thank u so much in advance!

        The bar tends to melt more smoothly but as long as you use cocoa butter, you should be fine.
