Equipment

Electric mixer
Mixing bowls
8x8 inch (20x20 cm) baking dish or silicone mold
Spatula
Plastic wrap

Ingredients

8 oz cream cheese softened
½ cup heavy whipping cream
¼ cup granulated erythritol or preferred keto sweetener
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tbsp brewed espresso cooled
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp instant coffee granules optional, for extra flavor
1 pinch salt

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese. Using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese on medium speed until it becomes smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Gradually add the granulated erythritol to the cream cheese mixture, continuing to beat until fully combined and fluffy.
Sift in the unsweetened cocoa powder to avoid lumps. Then add the cooled brewed espresso, vanilla extract, and the optional instant coffee granules. Mix until everything is well blended and the mixture is smooth.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. This should take about 3-5 minutes with an electric mixer.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate espresso mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream; this will keep your cheesecake bites light and airy.
Once combined, transfer the mixture into a lined 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) baking dish or silicone mold for easy removal. Spread it evenly and smooth the top with a spatula.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to cut into bites.
Once chilled, remove the cheesecake from the dish and cut it into 12 equal squares or bites. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Notes

For a little extra flair, consider dusting the top with additional cocoa powder or drizzling with sugar-free chocolate sauce before serving. These cheesecake bites can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week, making them a perfect make-ahead treat for your keto lifestyle.
