Ingredients
Cream cheese such as Philadelphia Original Cream Cheese or Tillamook Original Cream Cheese
Vanilla flavor such as Simply Organic Vanilla Flavor or Watkins Clear Vanilla Flavor
Powdered sweetener that measures like sugar such as monk fruit or stevia
Fresh lime juice
Fresh lime zest
Desiccated coconut plus extra for coating
Ground walnuts
Instructions
Soften the cream cheese at room temperature until easy to mix
Combine the cream cheese and vanilla flavor in a mixing bowl until smooth
Mix in the powdered sweetener until fully blended
Add lime juice and lime zest and stir until evenly combined
Fold in the desiccated coconut until the mixture thickens
Add the ground walnuts and mix until well incorporated
Chill the mixture until firm enough to shape
Roll the mixture into evenly sized balls
Coat each ball in additional desiccated coconut
Chill again until fully set before serving
Notes
Full fat cream cheese gives the creamiest texture and best flavor
Fresh limes provide brighter taste than bottled juice
Desiccated coconut works better than shredded coconut for a smooth finish
If the mixture feels too soft add a small amount of coconut and chill longer
Store finished cheesecake balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator
