Servings : 20
Ingredients
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- ⅓ cup unsweetened plain protein powder
- 2 tablespoons powdered sweetener,
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened, cut into several cubes for easier mixing
- 1 tablespoon sugar free chocolate syrup, you can use any other flavored sugar-free syrup, like caramel or strawberry
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup chopped nuts, walnuts, almonds, pecans, etc..., optional
- berries, mini dark chocolate chips, sea salt, etc... for topping, optional
Instructions
- Coat an empty ice cube tray(s) (or silicone candy molds) with olive oil spray. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl combine heavy cream, protein powder, and sweetener; whisk until well incorporated and smooth. Set aside.
- In a separate mixing bowl combine softened cream cheese, syrup, and vanilla; beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until completely creamy and smooth.
- Add heavy cream mixture to the cream cheese mixture and continue to mix with the mixer until well incorporated and smooth. Consistency should be thick, but pourable; like a cheesecake batter.IF mixture is too thin, add a little more protein powder; if mixture is too thick, add a bit more heavy cream, 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time.
- Taste for sweetness and adjust accordingly.
- If you like, at this point, you can fold in some chopped nuts.
- Spoon the cream cheese mixture into the ice cube trays or molds. Sprinkle the tops with berries, nuts, and/or sea salt.
- Freeze for 1 to 2 hours, or until frozen.
- Take out from freezer and pop out the cheesecake bites. For easier removal, I suggest to put the bottom of the ice cube trays in hot water for just 1 minute, and then pop out the bites.
- Serve.
- For easier serving, pop out all of the cheesecake bites and transfer them to a ziploc bag; store in the freezer.
