As mentioned in my recipe for bacon ranch fat bombs that posted last week, I have been researching fat fasts and the benefits for diabetics and weight loss. You can read more about that in the post on bacon ranch fat bombs.
I also love a bit of sweet/sour for my treats and have seen a lot of recipes for things like cream cheese with Davinci SF syrup and artificial sweetener. Then, I saw a recipe for sugar free sour gummy worms, using gelatin and SF flavored Jello to roll them in for that sour taste. It got my wheels turning (dangerous, I know) and the result were these delicious little cheesecake bombs.
Fresh Raspberries or Not?
For the purposes of my fat fast, I chose to not add additional carbs with the raspberries, but if you are on a traditional low carb diet, you can add some berries and give these a richer flavor. Just mash up about 1/4 cup and stir them in along with the other ingredients listed below. Enjoy!
- 8 ounces original cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon liquid stevia
- 1 small package of raspberry flavored sugar free Jello mix
-
Allow cream cheese to sit out and soften for about an hour (you don't want to microwave it as it will be too runny to form into balls)
-
Add liquid stevia and stir together completely (you can also sub Splenda or artificial sweetener of your choice - if you use a granulated sweetener, you'll need to add liquid, such as some vanilla extract)
-
Form mixture into small balls and roll in the Jello mix powder.
-
Place on a plate and cover with plastic wrap.
-
Refrigerate for two hours.
These have the taste of cheesecake with a bit of added tang from the Jello. Give them a try. If you crave sour things, you won’t be disappointed. Your only problem will be trying not to gobble them all up.
