# What You Need:

10 - 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
11 - 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
12 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Blueberry Swirl

13 - 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
14 - 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey

# How-To:

01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or prepare a silicone mini muffin mold for easy removal and cleanup.
02 - Combine almond flour, coconut flour, maple syrup or honey, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt in a mixing bowl. Stir thoroughly until a cohesive dough forms.
03 - Divide the base mixture into 16 equal portions and roll each into a smooth ball. Arrange them evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
04 - In a separate bowl, beat together light cream cheese, Greek yogurt, vanilla whey protein powder, maple syrup or honey, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until completely smooth and creamy.
05 - Heat blueberries and maple syrup or honey in a small saucepan over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes. Mash gently with a fork while cooking until a thick compote consistency forms. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.
06 - Flatten each base ball slightly with your palm or the back of a spoon. Top each flattened base with a spoonful of cheesecake filling, then add a small swirl of cooled blueberry compote on top.
07 - Transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour to allow the bites to firm up completely before serving.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They taste like cheesecake but pack 4 grams of protein each
  • The blueberry swirl makes them feel fancy without actually being complicated
  • No oven required and they keep in the fridge for grab and go moments
02 -
  • The base dough will seem crumbly but comes together when you roll it
  • Let the blueberry compote cool completely before swirling or it will melt the filling
  • These need the full hour of chilling time or they will fall apart when you bite them
03 -
  • Room temperature cream cheese blends much smoother than cold
  • Use a cookie scoop for portioning so all your bites are the same size
