Ingredients
  

1 cup cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1/2 cup sour cream

1/2 cup powdered erythritol (or your preferred keto sweetener)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice (optional, for a zesty flavor)

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (for coating)

1/4 cup crushed almonds or walnuts (for coating, optional)

Fresh berries (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream. Using a hand mixer or a whisk, blend until the mixture is smooth and luscious, ensuring there are no lumps.

    Gradually sprinkle in the powdered erythritol, followed by the vanilla extract, lemon juice (if using), and sea salt. Continue mixing until all the ingredients are well combined and the mixture is light and fluffy.

      Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for approximately 30 minutes. This chilling time will make the mixture easier to shape.

        Once the mixture has chilled, take it out from the fridge. Use a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop to portion out the mixture. With your hands, roll each portion into bite-sized balls.

          In a shallow dish, mix together the unsweetened shredded coconut and crushed nuts (if using). Take each cheesecake ball and roll it in the coconut-nut mixture until it is completely coated.

            Arrange the coated cheesecake bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat this process until all of the mixture has been shaped and coated.

              Place the baking sheet in the freezer and allow the cheesecake bites to chill for at least 1 hour, or until they are solid. Once firm, transfer the bites to an airtight container for storage.

                When you’re ready to serve, allow the cheesecake bites to sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly. For an extra touch, garnish with fresh berries just before serving.

                    - Presentation Tips: Arrange the cheesecake bites on a decorative platter and scatter a few fresh berries around for a splash of color. Dust with a light sprinkle of shredded coconut for added visual appeal. Enjoy!
