Description
Keto Eggnog Cheesecake Snowballs are a delightful festive treat that combines the flavors of eggnog and cheesecake in a low-carb, keto-friendly dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered erythritol (or your preferred keto sweetener)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup crushed pecans (optional, for rolling)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, powdered erythritol, ground nutmeg, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well.
- Add the softened cream cheese, vanilla extract, and egg to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm up the dough.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Once the dough is chilled, scoop out tablespoon-sized portions and roll them into balls.
- If using, roll the balls in crushed pecans to coat them. Place the snowballs on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Allow the snowballs to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a festive touch, drizzle melted sugar-free white chocolate over the cooled snowballs.
- Add a splash of rum extract to the dough for an extra eggnog flavor.
