How do you make Cheesecake Truffles?
You need to follow three very basic steps to make these Keto Peanut Butter Cheesecake Truffles. And just in case you want to make these even easier, you can skip the chocolate coating and enjoy the cheesecake truffles sans chocolate!
- Combine the cream cheese, peanut butter, sweetener and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Roll the cheesecake into tablespoon size balls (this is easier if you chill it for a few minutes first). Freeze the cheesecake balls at least 20 minutes so it is easier to dip into the warm chocolate.
- Melt the chocolate and coconut oil to make the chocolate coating. Dip the cheesecake balls into chocolate, place on a silicone or wax paper lined baking sheet.
How many carbs are in each No Bake Cheesecake Ball?
This recipe makes about 24 cheesecake truffles. With the chocolate coating each truffle is 124 calories, 5.1 grams of carbs, 2.5 grams of fiber. That makes each truffle 2.5 net carbs.
