cheesecake bites
1. bring cream cheese and butter to room temp
2. After crust is done cream lower temperature to 250-275 degrees F on oven. Most ovens have a 250 setting
3. Cream together cream cheese, butter, sour cream, liquid stevia and vanilla extract
4. add in powdered sweetener and salt, then one at a time add in eggs until filling smooth and free of lumps. Beating on a low speed to avoid too much air
5. pour filling over crust and place in preheated oven for about an 1 hour and 15 minutes. You are looking for the top to no longer be wet looking. The top shouldn't be browning either.
6. Allow to cool once top is set and allow cheesecake to rest and finishing cooking to fully firm up
7. After cool place in freezer for an hour then remove and cut into squares. Top with a sugar free chocolate and garish with salt or just dig in as is.
Recipe Notes
Tips
1. The chocolate isn't needed. In honesty I couldn't really taste it over the cheesecake but it did add a smoother texture overall.
2. Cheesecake is cooked on low to prevent cracking of the cake. The cake will have a creamy texture not dense such as a NY cheesecake
3. Crust doesn't contain any sweetener to offset the sweetness in the cheesecake. Trust me it works wonders
4. Cut cheesecake into bites before adding chocolate. If not when you try to cut you will squish the cheesecake.
