These sweet, bite-sized rounds use almond flour and cream cheese to mimic the taste and texture of raw cookie dough without the use of sugar or grains. Loaded with sugar-free chocolate chips, they have a rich and buttery flavor as a no-bake chilled dessert that can be kept in the refrigerator for a quick snack.

About This Recipe

To create the dough, softened butter and cream cheese are beaten together until smooth before incorporating the powdered sweetener and vanilla. The almond flour is added gradually to achieve a firm but pliable consistency that holds its shape when rolled into small balls. It is important to chill the bites for at least thirty minutes, as the cold temperature allows the fats to firm up, resulting in a denser, dough-like texture.

The base uses a combination of butter and cream cheese to provide a creamy mouthfeel and a richness that balances the nuttiness of the almond flour. Powdered sweetener is used instead of granulated versions to ensure a smooth finish without any grittiness in the bite. Because there are no eggs or flour to cook, the final taste relies on the quality of the vanilla and the distribution of the sugar-free chocolate chips throughout the mixture.

These bites work well when prepared ahead of time and can be stored in the freezer for longer storage. It’s easy to customize the dough by adding a pinch of sea salt on top or mixing in finely chopped nuts for additional crunch. They are best served chilled, directly from the refrigerator, to maintain their firm structure and keep the chocolate chips crisp.
