  • 2 tablespoons sugar-free powdered sweetener (e.g., Stevia, Swerve) – 0 points
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract – 0 points
  • 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, chopped – 0 points
  • 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs – 6 points
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon sugar-free strawberry jam – 0 points

Total points for the entire recipe: 9 points

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the filling:
    • In a medium bowl, mix the softened fat-free cream cheese and Greek yogurt until smooth and creamy.
    • Add the sugar-free powdered sweetener and vanilla extract, and continue to stir until well combined.
  2. Fold in the strawberries:
    • Gently fold the chopped fresh strawberries into the cheesecake mixture.
  3. Chill the mixture:
    • Refrigerate the cheesecake mixture for about 30 minutes to firm up slightly, making it easier to roll into balls.
  4. Form the bombs:
    • Using a spoon or a small cookie scoop, scoop about a tablespoon of the cheesecake mixture and roll it into a ball with your hands.
    • Roll each ball in the graham cracker crumbs to coat the outside.
  5. Chill again:
    • Place the cheesecake bombs on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
  6. Optional strawberry jam drizzle:
    • If desired, drizzle each bomb with a little sugar-free strawberry jam for an extra burst of flavor.
  7. Serve:
    • Once chilled and firm, your Strawberry Cheesecake Bombs are ready to enjoy! Store the remaining bombs in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Tips:

  • Freeze for a firmer texture: If you prefer a firmer, almost ice cream-like consistency, you can freeze the cheesecake bombs for about 30 minutes before serving.
  • Add more fruit: Feel free to add some other zero-point fruits, like blueberries or raspberries, for a mix of flavors.
  • Customize the sweetener: Adjust the level of sweetness based on your taste preferences by adding more or less sweetener.
  • Use low-point graham crackers: Crushed graham crackers give the bombs their traditional cheesecake feel, but you can use low-fat or low-point varieties for fewer points.
