# Method:

01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or prepare a silicone mini muffin mold for easy removal.
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 uniform dough forms.
03 - Divide the base mixture into 16 equal portions and roll each into a ball. Place them on the prepared baking tray.
04 - Beat together cream cheese, Greek yogurt, protein powder, maple syrup or honey, lemon zest, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl 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 while cooking until a thick compote consistency forms. Allow to cool completely.
06 - Flatten each base ball slightly with your palm. Top with a spoonful of cheesecake mixture, then add a small swirl of the cooled blueberry compote.
07 - Refrigerate the assembled bites for at least 1 hour until firm and set before serving.

# Chef's Tips:

01 -
  • No oven required so you can make them even when your kitchen feels like a sauna
  • That creamy cheesecake flavor without the post treat regret that usually follows
  • Perfect portion control because each bite is its own little self contained moment
02 -
  • The blueberry compote must be completely cool before you swirl it or it will melt the cheesecake filling into a sad puddle
  • Room temperature cream cheese is non negotiable here cold cream cheese creates lumps that no amount of mixing can fix
03 -
  • Use a small cookie scoop to ensure all your bases are the same size which helps them chill evenly
  • If your filling feels too stiff add a teaspoon of milk to loosen it up before piping
