Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz (227 g) cream cheese, softened (full-fat)
  • 2 tablespoons (28 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup (100 g) granulated erythritol or keto-friendly sweetener
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons (15 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ¼ cup (28 g) almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon red food coloring (powdered or gel)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon lemon zest or a splash of lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
  2. Prepare your muffin tin or silicone molds by lining with parchment paper or lightly greasing with butter.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and unsalted butter using an electric mixer at medium speed until silky smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Scrape down sides as needed.
  4. Add granulated erythritol and continue beating until combined.
  5. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract, beating until fully combined and creamy.
  6. Sift together cocoa powder, almond flour, and salt. Gently fold this dry mixture into the wet ingredients using a spatula, keeping the batter light and airy.
  7. Add red food coloring and mix gently until evenly distributed.
  8. Optional: Fold in lemon zest or lemon juice for brightness.
  9. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared molds, filling about ¾ full.
  10. Bake for 18-22 minutes until set but slightly jiggly in the center.
  11. Cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to firm up.
  12. Serve chilled, optionally garnished with cocoa powder or whipped cream.

Notes

Use softened but not melted cream cheese and butter for a smooth batter. Avoid overmixing after adding the egg to prevent cracks and dense texture. Chill thoroughly for best creamy texture. These bites freeze well for up to 3 months. Optional variations include adding berries, chocolate swirl, or using dairy-free alternatives.
