Method
 

Step 1: Soften the Ingredients
  1. Remove cream cheese and butter from the refrigerator and allow them to soften at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
Step 2: Mix the Base
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and butter. Beat with a hand mixer or whisk until smooth, fluffy, and fully combined.
Step 3: Add Sweetener and Flavor
  1. Add powdered keto sweetener, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Mix until the mixture is creamy and evenly flavored.
Step 4: Add Almond Flour
  1. Stir in almond flour until fully incorporated. The mixture should be thick but pliable.
Step 5: Adjust Texture
  1. If the mixture feels too thick, add heavy cream one teaspoon at a time. If it’s too soft, add a little more almond flour.
Step 6: Chill the Mixture
  1. Place the bowl in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes to firm up the mixture for easier shaping.
Step 7: Form the Bites
  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop small portions of the mixture and roll into bite-sized balls using your hands.
Step 8: Coat (Optional)
  1. Roll the bites in almond flour or shredded coconut if desired.
Step 9: Final Chill
  1. Return the bites to the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to fully set before serving.
