Ingredients
Vegan Cheesecake Balls
- 1 cup desiccated coconut unsweetened (100 g)
- 3 tablespoon vegan cream cheese 45 g
- ½ cup cashew butter 125 g
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 10-12 drops stevia
- 1 tsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
- Add the desiccated coconut to a food processor and blend for about 10 seconds. Now, add the remaining ingredients and process until well-combined.
- You might need to stop and scrape down the sides, then process again. Taste and adjust to your preferences.
- Use a cookie scoop to make your cheesecake balls or roll each of them in your hands. If the mixture is too sticky, you can place it in the fridge for 15 minutes before creating the balls.
- Place them next to each other on your prepared baking sheet. Once all of the balls have been created, freeze them for 30 minutes.
- Enjoy them right away or store your cheesecake balls in the fridge and enjoy whenever you’re looking for a delicious vegan keto dessert!
Notes
- Be sure to use unsweetened and lower-carb vegan cream cheese!
- Swap cashew butter for almond butter or use tahini or sunflower seed butter if allergic to nuts.
- Instead of stevia, you can go for another keto-friendly sweetener. You might need to adjust with more or less wet ingredients for the right texture in that case!
- These vegan cheesecake balls can be kept in the fridge for 1 week and in the freezer for 2 weeks or more.
