How to make Cheesecake Fat Bombs
Ingredients:
- 1 (8-ounce) brick cream cheese
- 3/4 cup strawberries
- 6 tablespoons salted butter
- 2.5 tablespoons granular swerve or 1/4 cup confectioners swerve
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
Directions:
-
Soften Ingredients: Gently allow the cream cheese, strawberries, and butter to rest at room temperature, embracing the warmth for about an hour. As the minutes slip by like silk, soften the cream cheese further by whispering it in the microwave for about 20 seconds, just until it becomes an elegant, pliable hue.
-
Puree Strawberries: In a joyful whirlwind, blend the strawberries until they transform into a delicate puree, a vibrant blush capturing the spirit of summer sunshine. Stir this magic with sweetener and vanilla extract in your bowl until the colors meld into a harmonious blend.
-
Make Batter: Invite the softened cream cheese and butter into the strawberry mixture; unite them with the sweet instrument of an electric hand mixer. Beat gently until the mixture sings — smooth and well combined, without a clump in sight. As you work, tenderly scrape the beater and sides of the bowl, ensuring that every morsel participates in this creation. Gently coax the resultant batter into round silicone molds using the back of a spoon, yielding a generous 26 delightful fat bombs.
-
Freeze & Serve: Allow your creations to luxuriate in the freezer until they become solid little jewels, taking about 2 hours. When ready to enjoy, serve these frigid delights straight from the freezer, allowing their luscious textures to shine. For any remaining treasures, store them in a resealable bag nestled within the frozen comfort of your icebox.
