by Alexis Layne

Cheesecake-Stuffed Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Balls (Keto-Friendly)

Fall flavors are in full swing with these decadent Cheesecake-Stuffed Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Balls! If you're on a keto diet but still craving seasonal treats, this recipe is a must-try. Combining the warm, comforting flavors of pumpkin and cinnamon with a rich, creamy cheesecake center, these stuffed balls are the perfect keto-friendly indulgence. With the added nutritional boost from Natural Elements Sea Moss Gel, this recipe offers not just incredible taste but also a health-conscious twist.

Ingredients Breakdown and Nutritional Value:

  • Pumpkin Puree (1 cup): Packed with vitamins A, C, and potassium, pumpkin puree is low in carbs and provides only about 49 calories and 12 grams of net carbs per cup.
  • Almond Butter (1/2 cup): Rich in healthy fats and protein, almond butter adds approximately 479 calories, 18 grams of carbs, and 43 grams of fat per 1/2 cup.
  • Natural Elements Sea Moss Gel (1/4 cup): Our sea moss gel is a nutrient-dense superfood, rich in iodine, potassium, and fiber. It's perfect for enhancing the nutritional profile of any dish, supporting digestion, and boosting immunity.
  • Erythritol (1/2 cup): A zero-calorie, zero-carb keto sweetener that adds sweetness without spiking blood sugar levels.
  • Eggs (2 large): Each egg contains about 70 calories, 6 grams of protein, and 5 grams of fat. Eggs are a keto staple for their high fat and protein content.
  • Vanilla Extract (1 tsp): Adds flavor without adding carbs or calories.
  • Pumpkin Pie Spice (1 tsp) & Cinnamon (1/2 tsp): These warm spices elevate the fall flavors, and they come with the added benefit of antioxidant properties.
  • Baking Powder (1/2 tsp) & Baking Soda (1/4 tsp): Help to give the pumpkin batter structure and fluffiness.
  • Salt (1/4 tsp): Enhances the flavor profile.
  • Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips (1/2 cup): I recommend Lily’s sugar-free chocolate chips, which contain about 120 calories, 4 grams of net carbs, and 9 grams of fat per 1/4 cup serving.
  • Almond Flour (1/4 cup): Low-carb and gluten-free, almond flour is an excellent coating for these cheesecake balls, adding around 160 calories, 6 grams of protein, and 3 grams of net carbs per 1/4 cup.

Cheesecake Filling:

  • Cream Cheese (2 oz): Adds creaminess and richness to the filling. Two ounces of cream cheese contains about 200 calories, 18 grams of fat, and 2 grams of net carbs.
  • Diced Strawberries (2 tbsp): Strawberries are keto-friendly in small quantities, offering a refreshing touch with minimal carbs.
  • Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips (2 tbsp): Adds a bit of crunch and sweetness with fewer carbs.
  • Keto-Friendly Sweetener (2 tbsp): Sweetens the filling without affecting your macros.

Instructions:

Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:

In a small bowl, mix softened cream cheese, diced strawberries, sugar-free chocolate chips, and sweetener. Roll the mixture into small balls and freeze for 1-2 hours until firm.

Prepare the Pumpkin Batter:

Whisk together pumpkin puree, almond butter, Natural Elements Sea Moss Gel, erythritol, 1 egg, and vanilla extract. Stir in pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips.

Assemble the Balls:

Once the cheesecake filling is firm, take 1-2 tablespoons of the pumpkin batter, flatten it in your hand, and wrap it around a cheesecake ball. Repeat for all cheesecake balls.

Coat the Balls:

Whisk the second egg to create an egg wash. Dip each ball in the egg wash, then roll it in almond flour for a crunchy, keto-friendly coating.

Air Fry:

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Cook the coated balls for about 6 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

Serve:

Enjoy them warm with a melted cheesecake center, or let them cool for a more structured bite!

Caloric Intake:

Each ball contains approximately 120-150 calories, 10 grams of fat, 5 grams of protein, and 2-3 grams of net carbs. These are perfect for a quick keto snack or a post-dinner treat!
