We prepare these cheesecake bites with a few ingredients, such as erythritol powder, heavy whipping cream, strawberries, almond flour, vanilla extract, cream cheese, and butter. You can substitute non-dairy items in these cheesecake bites for dairy-sensitive people because they contain dairy ingredients. We make a crispy and crumbly crust with a crunchy topping. You must require at least 1 hour & 35 minutes to make these cheesecake bites. These Keto Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Bites are great for breakfasts, appetizers, sides, occasions, and desserts. We refrigerate these cheesecake bites for five days; they also freeze perfectly, so they are perfect for a quick dessert meal.

STRAWBERRY CRUNCH TOPPING:

INGREDIENT NOTES:
HEAVY CREAM:
- Heavy cream provides a strong flavor along with the structure. If you want a non-dairy variation, substitute coconut cream, which also functions well.
ALMOND FLOUR:
- Almond flour creates structure without requiring additional carbs. Instead, we use sunflower seed and coconut flour in smaller quantities; both work perfectly, although they alter the texture.
STRAWBERRIES:
- Strawberries are the main component of these bites. They are used in normal quantities. First, strain and defrost the strawberries, then use them. You can swap them with blackberries and raspberries in moderation for the same profile.
ERYTHRITOL POWDER:
- Erythritol powder sweetened these cheesecake bites. Alternate this sweetener powder with stevia or monk fruit sweetener.
CREAM CHEESE:
- Cream cheese is used to make this dessert without any carb content. We can utilize vegan cream cheese and mascarpone instead.
