🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Get started by preheating your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a muffin tin with parchment paper liners. This will make it easier to remove the cheesecake bites later and prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 8 ounces (226g) of softened cream cheese with 1/2 cup of erythritol (or your favorite low-carb sweetener). Use an electric mixer to beat until smooth and creamy. This step is important for getting that perfectly smooth cheesecake texture; nobody likes lumpy cheesecake!
- Add 2 large eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Incorporate 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Make sure everything is well combined.
- Gently fold in 1 cup of fresh blueberries. Be careful not to overmix, as this can cause the blueberries to burst and bleed into the batter, turning it a less-than-appetizing shade of blue-gray. I like to gently toss the blueberries in a tablespoon of almond flour beforehand; it helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom during baking.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin liners, filling each about 3/4 full. This recipe should yield around 12-14 cheesecake bites, depending on the size of your muffin tin.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is just slightly jiggly. The internal temperature should reach 150°F (65°C).
- Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake bites cool inside for about an hour with the door ajar. This helps prevent cracking by allowing them to cool slowly. Resist the urge to open the oven completely; patience is key!
- Once cooled, transfer the muffin tin to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours before serving. This allows the cheesecake bites to fully set and develop their flavor. If you can wait overnight, even better!
- Before serving, gently remove the cheesecake bites from the muffin liners. Garnish with a few extra fresh blueberries or a dusting of powdered erythritol, if desired. Now, prepare for a burst of flavor and creamy deliciousness that won't wreck your diet!
📝 Notes
- For an extra burst of flavor, add a little lemon zest to the batter.
- Make sure cream cheese is soft to avoid lumps
