Key Ingredients
I’ve included everything below to make this recipe easy to follow at home. For the full printable recipe instructions and ingredient quantities, scroll to the Recipe card at the bottom of this post.
Cream cheese. I highly prefer using full-fat bricks for the best results. This ingredient forms the rich, tangy base and provides the necessary structure.
Powdered sweetener. A confectioner’s erythritol blend works beautifully here. It dissolves completely to ensure your final mixture never tastes gritty.
Unsalted butter. Softened butter creates an incredibly smooth consistency. It adds rich healthy fats while binding the mixture together perfectly.

I’ve included everything below to make this recipe easy to follow at home. For the full printable recipe instructions and ingredient quantities, scroll to the Recipe card at the bottom of this post.
- Soften the cream cheese and unsalted butter completely at room temperature before starting.
- Beat the ingredients together in a medium bowl until the mixture looks completely fluffy.
- Incorporate the powdered sweetener gradually while continuing to mix the batter thoroughly.
- Scoop the smooth filling into small uniform rounds using a cookie scoop.
- Place the portions onto a parchment-lined tray carefully to prevent sticking.
- Freeze the individual bites for at least thirty minutes until they feel completely firm.
Pro Tip: Use a warm cookie scoop to easily create perfectly smooth, round shapes every single time.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Using cold ingredients will cause the batter to become incredibly lumpy and separated.
- Adding liquid sweeteners instead of powdered versions can make the mixture far too runny.
- Skipping the chilling step makes the dough way too sticky to handle easily.
Required Equipment
- Hand mixer — ensures a completely smooth, lump-free texture.
- Cookie scoop — creates uniform portion sizes effortlessly for accurate tracking.
- Parchment paper — prevents the fat bombs from sticking to your baking sheet.
Caleb’s Recipe Tips
- Add a splash of pure vanilla extract to enhance the authentic cheesecake flavor.
- Roll the finished balls in crushed pecans to introduce a delightful contrasting crunch.
- Store the treats directly in the freezer if you prefer a firmer texture.
- Use a silicone mold instead of scooping by hand to save extra time.
- Sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt to balance out the sweetness beautifully.
Storage Instructions
Keep these treats stored safely inside an airtight container within your refrigerator. They will remain fresh and delicious for up to one full week. Alternatively, place them in a heavy-duty freezer bag for long-term storage up to three months. Avoid leaving them out at room temperature because they will soften quickly. No reheating is required since these are served completely chilled.
