Healthier recipes are what makes a healthier lifestyle completely sustainable. By making smart swaps, like this healthier cheesecake recipe you can still enjoy all your favorite desserts – this one a version of one of the most popular desserts in the world.

With a creamy lemon flavor and a base made of an almond flour blend, these bites are creamy, delicious and oh-so-easy to make. If you love a classic New York style cheesecake, try these single-serving cheesecakes instead!

Regular cheesecake is pretty high in carbs due to its super high sugar content and traditional graham cracker crust. But, these cheesecake bites are made with cream cheese and yogurt sweetened with honey and a hit of protein – all the good stuff!

This recipe is so simple, that will definitely become one of your go-to fave desserts or snack and you will find they are one of the best ways to satisfy your sweet tooth. However, it can be a daunting task to bake a whole cheesecake if you only want a few bites of creamy deliciousness.

This is when my cheesecake bites recipe will save the day (and your diet). No-fuss, just make ahead and pull it out of the fridge anytime the craving strikes for a perfect bite of high-healthy fat, low-carb, better for you cheesecake. You can serve them plain as they are or you can make them the belle of the ball and top them with a drizzle of strawberry puree and some fresh sliced berries

Next time you have a hankering for something sweet, make a batch of these. They will curb those cravings and keep you full. Even better, make a bunch of these and keep them in your freezer. That way, you will always have something guilt-free you can snack on.

You probably already have most, if not all, of the ingredients to make these mini cheesecake bites. If you don’t, they are definitely easy to find at your grocery store (no crazy or strange ingredients here!).

You will make the simple crust first. Its best to use silicon molds or if you don’t have them you can use muffin cups or even ice cube trays. You can also make them inside shot glasses if you want a fun and festive way to serve them.

Next, mix the filling ingredients then add to the top of the crust. Then, just freeze the cheesecake bites! Mix, scoop, freeze – it’s really as easy as that.

This recipe is an excellent base and there are lots of ways that you can customize it and change it up. For example, blend in a couple of tablespoons of chopped up berries to the cheesecake mixture. You can also add different flaoured extracts like cherry, caramel or almond.

Try a different citrus flavour with lime or orange zest, or top with fruit, coconut, or chocolate chips for a custom twist. Another idea is to drizzle some melted chocolate on top.

You can also change the flavor of the crust. In fact, if you add a tablespoon or two of cocoa powder, you will make a delicious chocolate crust. No matter how you change them, these bites are amazing!

Instead of buying snacks from the store without knowing what’s in them, next time you crave something sweet, make a batch of these. If you make a double batch, you will always have something you can snack on when the desire hits.

I love that you can still enjoy the taste of cheesecake without falling off the “eating healthier” wagon. If faced with an entire big cheesecake who knows what might happen if tired and hungry. This way we remove temptation and only eat what’s needed to quell the sugar cravings and we still stay on track with our health goals –      #stillfitskinnyjeans  – win/win all round!

Servings 12

Ingredients

Base Crust

• 1 cup almond flour (almonds blended to a flour)
• 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
• 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Lemon Cheesecake Filling

• 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened to room temperature
• 1/2 cup thick Greek-style yogurt, plain or vanilla
• 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
• 1/4 cup protein or collagen peptides powder
• 1 lemon, juice and zest

Instructions

Base Crust

• In a medium bowl, mix together the ingredients for the crust until well combined.

  Scoop a spoonful of the crust mixture into the bottom of 12 sections of a 12-hole cupcake pan or silicone candy mold, filling each section about ⅓ of the way full. Or you can even use an ice cube tray.

  Place in the fridge while you make the lemon filling.

Lemon Cheesecake Filling

• Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat the ingredients in a bowl for the cheesecake on high until smooth and creamy.

  Fill the sections of the candy mold the rest of the way to the top with the cheesecake mixture.

  Freeze the cheesecake bites until they are set and ready to serve. Bites can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. If you like them softer, they can be thawed in the refrigerator before serving.

  Store up to 1 week in the fridge or freezer for up to 3 months.

  Notes: Use a silicone muffin pan or paper liners: This makes removal much easier once the cheesecakes are chilled and set. You can also make these in mini cupcake molds if you don't have a candy mold.

  Chill thoroughly: Allow at least 2 hours in the fridge, or longer for firmer texture. You can also freeze for 30–45 minutes if short on time.
