Chocolate Covered Cheesecake Bites
Ingredients
Cheesecake Filling
- 2 tablespoons 0% greek yogurt
- 6 tablespoons low fat cream cheese - softened - (can use full fat I just like a light flavor)
- 4-5 tablespoons Gentle Sweet NSI - 2 -3 tablespoons powdered Truvia or Pyure (I use a dedicated coffee grinder)
- 1 pinch of THM Mineral Salt or Celtic or Himalayan mineral salt (DO NOT LEAVE OUT THE SALT -it cuts the stevia :-) )
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Cream this mixture thoroughly and place in a plastic baggy with one very small cut in one corner.
Lily's Chocolate Shell
- 6 tablespoons refined coconut oil (I use the same brands as the unrefined so it is good quality, but no coconut flavor - see picture below for one brand idea)
- 1/2 cup Lily's Stevia Sweetened chocolate chips
- 6 tablespoons Gentle Sweet or 3 tablespoons ground Truvia or Pyure (taste and adjust sweetness)
- 1/2 teaspoons caramel flavoring, I used Watkins from Wal-Mart
- 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Melt the coconut oil and chocolate chips together, then whisk in the sweetener and flavoring.
- Pour roughly 1/4 of the chocolate mixture in the ice trays distributed equally and freeze till firm just a minute or two.
- Mix up the cheesecake filling and put in the baggy and cut a small piece off one corner of the bag.
- Then squeeze all of the contents of the bag out among the cube spaces over the frozen chocolate. The bag is not absolutely necessary, but it helps to center the cheesecake mixture on the chocolate so that the chocolate that you pour on top will surround it better.
- Return to the freezer for 15 minutes or longer.
- Remove and place a pecan half on top of each one and cover the candies with the remaining chocolate mixture.
- Freeze till firm but may be eaten at room temperature and it will stay firm on the outside although the inside will be like soft serve ice cream.
- If you would like it firmer just cut back a little on the yogurt.
Notes
- My ice trays have 16 slots so two pieces to a serving will give you 8 servings.
- Some of the newer ice trays are smaller but just divide your pieces so that it comes out to 8 servings.
