These No-Bake Strawberry Cheesecake Bliss Balls are the perfect addition to your spring dessert lineup! Whip them up on Easter for a sweet treat that satisfies like candy.
These dairy-free, vegan bliss balls taste just like little bites of cheesecake. A small handful of freeze-dried strawberries add tons of fresh berry flavor without adding excess carbs. They hold their shape well at room temperature, so they’re great for taking with you for a snack on the go. Try doubling or tripling the recipe and storing in the freezer so you have keto-friendly snacks on hand at all times. Simply let sit at room temperature for five minutes to allow them to defrost slightly before eating.
The best part about these mini strawberry cheesecake bites is that they’re extremely easy to make! Grab your food processor and combine one cup of raw cashews, two tablespoons of coconut oil, one teaspoon of vanilla extract, two tablespoons of a granulated erythritol-based sweetener and an eighth of a teaspoon of salt. If you are unable to tolerate erythritol, free to swap in another sugar-free sweetener of your choice like stevia or monk fruit. Pulse the food processor until a dough forms, then add a quarter-cup of freeze-dried strawberries. Continue pulsing until the mixture is just combined. Divide the dough into eight equal pieces, then roll them in your hands until you form round or egg-shaped balls. Store them in the refrigerator for up to one week. 
Palm Pro Tip: Try swapping in freeze-dried blueberries or raspberries for a fun variation! You can also get creative with other additions, like unsweetened coconut flakes, chia seeds, cacao powder and more.

Please note that on the South Beach Diet, we recommend extremely limiting fruit due to the amount of carbohydrates and sugar. However, if you’d like to add a small amount of fruit, choose options that are lower in carbs and higher in fiber. According to Healthline, berries tend to be relatively low in sugar.
