Method

Tap a time to watch that step in the video.

  1. Beat the room-temperature cream cheese and butter together with a hand mixer until fully combined. 0:30
  2. Add the erythritol, stevia drops, vanilla, a pinch of salt and the almond flour, and mix until smooth. 1:10
  3. Fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips with a spatula. 2:38
  4. Push the dough into the middle of the bowl and refrigerate for 30–60 minutes, until firm enough to scoop. 2:53
  5. Scoop into 12 balls with a cookie scoop, press a few chocolate chips on top if you like, and keep them in the fridge. 3:10

Tip. Don't bake them: with no eggs or flour they melt. Keeps in the fridge up to 2 weeks or freeze. For a brown-sugar taste, the cook suggests 1/2 tsp maple extract.

Vitamin A Source14%

122 µg a serve, mostly from butter (53%). Keeps eyes, skin and the immune system healthy. Orange vegetables and dark greens give beta-carotene, which the body turns into vitamin A.

Omega-35%

0.1 g a serve, mostly from cream cheese (67%). Omega-3 fats support the heart and brain. Oily fish give EPA and DHA; walnuts, flax, chia and canola give ALA, which the body converts only a little.

Magnesium4%

17 mg a serve, mostly from almond flour (67%). Takes part in hundreds of reactions — energy, muscles, nerves, blood sugar and bones. Nuts, seeds, legumes and whole grains are good sources.

Calcium3%

33 mg a serve, mostly from cream cheese (55%). Builds bones and teeth and helps muscles and nerves work. Dairy, calcium-set tofu, sardines with their bones and some greens supply it.

Iron3%

0.5 mg a serve, mostly from sugar-free chocolate chips (56%). Carries oxygen in your blood. Iron from plants absorbs better with vitamin C in the same meal — lemon, tomato or capsicum.

Zinc3%

0.3 mg a serve, mostly from almond flour (45%). Needed for immunity, wound healing, taste and growth. Meat, seafood, legumes, seeds and whole grains supply it.

Selenium3%

1.9 µg a serve, mostly from cream cheese (86%). Part of the body's antioxidant enzymes and needed for thyroid hormones. Seafood, eggs, meat and Brazil nuts are rich sources.

Vitamin B122%

0.1 µg a serve, mostly from cream cheese (67%). Keeps nerves and blood cells healthy. Found almost only in animal foods and fortified foods (some plant milks, nutritional yeast), so vegans need a reliable source.

Potassium1%

70 mg a serve, mostly from almond flour (44%). Balances sodium to help control blood pressure and keeps muscles and nerves working. Beans, potatoes, leafy greens and fruit are rich sources.

Vitamin D1%

0.3 µg a serve, mostly from butter (56%). Helps you absorb calcium for bones and supports muscles. Few foods have much — oily fish, eggs, UV-exposed mushrooms, fortified milks. Sunlight is the main source.

Vitamin K1%

1.1 µg a serve, mostly from butter (62%). Needed for blood clotting and bones. Leafy greens and herbs are very rich in it. If you take warfarin, keep your intake steady and talk to your doctor.

Folate1%

3.8 µg a serve, mostly from almond flour (48%). Needed to make DNA and new cells — especially important before and in early pregnancy. Legumes and leafy greens are rich sources.

Vitamin B61%

0 mg a serve, mostly from cream cheese (66%). Helps turn food into energy and make brain messengers. Chickpeas, fish, poultry, potatoes and bananas are good sources.

Vitamin C0%

0 mg a serve. An antioxidant needed for collagen, immunity and iron absorption. Long cooking destroys some, so raw herbs, citrus and capsicum help.
