Chocolate Covered Cheesecake Bites Low Carb Sugar Free Thm S Recipes

CHOCOLATE COVERED CHEESECAKE BITES | LOW CARB, SUGAR FREE, THM S

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees
• In a small bowl, combine Baking Blend (or almond flour) and sweetener and mix well.
• Add melted butter and mix well until all dry ingredients are incorporated.
• Press into bottom of an 8 x 8" baking dish
• Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
• Almond flour crust may take a few minutes longer.
• Allow to cool at least 30 minutes or until completely cool before adding filling.
• In a mixing bowl (I just wipe out the bowl used for making the crust for less dirty dishes) beat together the cream cheese, yogurt, sweetener, extracts, and salt until well combined and creamy.
• Evenly spread filling over cooled crust.
• Freeze for 2 hours or overnight. If freezing overnight it will be a little harder to cut so plan a little extra time.
• In a double boiler (or heat safe bowl placed over pan of boiling water) add chocolate chips and coconut oil.
• Whisk together until melted and smooth.
• Remove the pan from the heat but keep the bowl over it to keep the chocolate liquid enough for coating.
• In a double boiler (or heat safe bowl placed over a pan of boiling water) add coconut oil and melt.
• When coconut oil is fully melted, whisk in cocoa powder, sweetener, and salt until fully incorporated.
• Carefully remove the hot bowl from the pan and place on a heat safe surface.
• For best results, allow the coconut oil to cool and thicken to a slightly runny hot fudge consistency. Alternatively, put the bowl in the fridge or freezer for a few minutes, checking frequently until the right consistency is achieved. Whisk in any harder pieces of chocolate if needed.
• Remove the cheesecake from the freezer and score the top with a sharp knife. You can get at least 36 bites (6 by 6). Very small bites are hard to cut well so I don't recommend going too small.
• Gently cut through the cheesecake, 1 row at a time, separating each bite carefully.
• Put the bite into the bowl of chocolate coating and using a fork, coat completely.
• Remove the bite with the fork and allow the excess chocolate to drip off, tapping lightly on the side of the bowl if needed.
• Place the coated bite on a parchment or wax paper lined cookie tray.
• If using the coconut oil coating, you may need to dip a second time if it's too runny.
• Enjoy right away or refrigerate or freeze in an airtight container for later.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 300°F. Line 8-inch square pan with heavy-duty foil so foil extends over sides of pan. Spray foil with cooking spray. In small bowl, mix crust ingredients. Press in bottom of sprayed foil-lined pan.
• In large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add remaining filling ingredients; beat until smooth. Pour filling over crust.
• Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until edges are set. Center will be soft but will set when cool. Refrigerate 1 1/2 hours or until chilled. Freeze cheesecake about 2 hours or until firm.
• Remove cheesecake from pan by lifting foil. Cut into 48 pieces; remove from foil and place on sheet of waxed paper.
• In 1-quart saucepan, melt coating ingredients over low heat, stirring frequently until smooth. Cool 2 to 3 minutes or until slightly cooled. Place in 2-cup measuring cup.
• Spear each cheesecake bite with fork; dip in melted chocolate to cover bottom and sides, letting excess drip off. Place on waxed paper.
• Spoon about 1 teaspoon melted chocolate over each bite, smoothing top with back of spoon. Let stand about 20 minutes or until firm. Store in refrigerator.

Steps:

• In a plastic bag, crush the graham crackers finely with the back of a large pot or pan.
• In a large bowl, combine graham crackers, ¼ cup (30g) confectioners' sugar, salt, and melted butter, stirring until the mixture is the texture of wet sand.
• Dump the graham cracker mixture into a 9×9 inch (23 x 23 cm) baking dish lined with parchment paper. Press the mixture down with your hands to create an even layer.

• Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly on top of the graham cracker crust.
• Freeze for one hour.
• Transfer the frozen cheesecake onto a cutting board, peeling away the parchment paper. Slice ¹⁄₆₄ inch (1 cm) wide strips horizontally, then vertically, creating little cheesecake cubes.
• In a medium bowl, microwave the chocolate in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
• Dip the cheesecake cubes in the chocolate, dripping off excess, and set them on a tray lined with parchment paper. Repeat with the remaining cubes.
