Keto Raspberry Frozen Cheesecake Bites (No-Bake, Freezer Ready)

These have a surprising twist that sets them apart from most frozen desserts. Keto raspberry frozen cheesecake bites freeze soft enough to bite into, closer to ice cream than a solid frozen block.

I genuinely have to hide these in the back of the freezer to keep my kids from finding them. Rolled in toasted, ground pecans and loaded with raspberries, they make a real grab-and-go treat.

Use a powdered sweetener here, not granulated. Granulated sugar substitute will not mix into the batter smoothly.

Chef Jenn’s Take on Raspberry Frozen Cheesecake Bites

Trying to roll these into balls before the mixture has frozen enough is the fastest way to make a mess. Freeze it for about 2 hours, until mostly solid, before you attempt to roll it.

Whip the cream cheese and sweetener together in one bowl, and whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks in a separate bowl, then combine the two. Skipping that separate step is why some cheesecake balls come out dense instead of light and fluffy. Use a powdered sweetener, not granulated, which will not mix in smoothly. Fold in the raspberries gently once everything is combined, you do not want to mash them up.

Toast the pecans in a single layer at 325 degrees for 5 to 10 minutes, watching closely since nuts burn easily. Let them cool slightly, then pulse in a food processor until finely ground.

Drop spoonfuls of the frozen mixture into the ground pecans first, then roll into balls, it keeps your hands much cleaner than rolling first and coating after. Try to get a bit of raspberry into every ball. Not a pecan fan? Swap in your favorite toasted, ground nut instead.

For more no-bake desserts, Turtle Cheesecake Bites and Keto Chocolate Sauce are both worth adding to your dessert rotation.

If you’re planning a bigger menu, Sausage Parmigiana makes a good savory main to serve before these.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many net carbs are in raspberry frozen cheesecake bites?

This recipe runs about 1 net carb per ball. The number in the recipe card below will recalculate once this post is republished, so use it as an estimate until then.

Why do I need to whip the cream cheese and cream separately?

Whipping them separately, then combining, is what gives these a light, fluffy texture. Mixing the cheese directly with unwhipped cream leaves them dense instead.

Can I use granulated sweetener instead of powdered?

This isn’t recommended. Granulated sugar substitute doesn’t mix in as smoothly the way powdered sweetener does.

Can I use a different nut instead of pecans?

Yes, swap in your favorite toasted, ground nut using the same technique.

Recipe Card Tips

  • Whip the cream cheese and cream separately before combining. It’s what gives these a light, fluffy texture.

  • Watch the pecans closely while toasting. Nuts burn easily and quickly go from golden to scorched.

  1. I’ve been including the kids more in the kitchen during quarantine. They are helping to decide what to make and helping to make it. I find they will try new things if they help make it. This was a HIT with the entire family!! So easy and so yummy~
