Lift the ball from the bowl of chocolate and let any excess drip off, then place it onto a tray lined with baking paper. Repeat with the remaining bars.Or hold each one with a fork over the melted chocolate and spoon it over letting the excess drip back into the bowl. Coat in coconut or freeze-dried strawberries if desired.Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.Notes:Add an extra tablespoon of protein powder if the mixture is too sticky.Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.Freeze for up to 2 months.For a stronger cheesecake flavour, add 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice or lemon zest.Blended Bites Tips💡Use softened cream cheese for easier mixing. (gently warm in microwave for a few seconds or leave out at room temperature for 30 minutes to an hour.)Chill the mixture before rolling if it feels sticky.Use vanilla protein powder for the best cheesecake flavour.Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness.Freeze extras for convenient snacks later on.
