How to Make Carnivore Cheesecake Bites
Making these cheesecake bites couldn’t be easier. Start by beating together softened cream cheese and butter until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If you prefer a hint of sweetness, add in a bit of Swerve or your favorite sugar substitute.
Once everything is well combined, spoon the mixture into the sections of a mini muffin tin lined with cupcake liners or into silicone molds. Chill the bites until they’re firm, and then they’re ready to serve!
Tips for Making Perfect Cheesecake Bites
- Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure your cream cheese and butter are softened to room temperature before mixing. This helps the mixture blend smoothly without any lumps.
- Adjust Sweetness: If you’re looking for a dessert with zero sweeteners, feel free to leave out the sweetener. The bites will still have a delicious, buttery richness.
- Lining the Muffin Tin or Using a Silicone Mold: Use mini cupcake liners for easy removal and neat presentation, or try using a silicone mold. The silicone mold makes it super simple to pop the bites out without any mess or sticking. My favorite set for lots of different shapes can be found here on Amazon.
Storing and Serving
Store these cheesecake bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a month. They’re perfect for meal prepping or having on hand when cravings hit. Serve them cold for the best texture and flavor.
