Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 3/4 cup almond flour (85g)
- 3 tbsp powdered monkfruit/erythritol sweetener (48g)
- 1/8 tsp xanthan gum (optional)
- Pinch of salt
- 3 tbsp cream cheese, softened (45g)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp almond extract
- 1–2 tbsp Stoka Sugar Free Rainbow Sprinkles (10g)
Glaze Ingredients
- 1/4 cup powdered monkfruit/erythritol sweetener (60g)
- 1 1/2 – 2 tbsp light cream
- 1/8 tsp vanilla extract
- Extra keto-friendly sprinkles for topping
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together almond flour, powdered monkfruit/erythritol sweetener, xanthan gum, and a pinch of salt until evenly combined.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Add softened cream cheese, vanilla extract, and almond extract to the dry mixture. Mix thoroughly until a soft, cohesive dough forms.
- Incorporate Sprinkles: Fold 1-2 tablespoons of Stoka Sugar Free Rainbow Sprinkles into the dough evenly for that birthday cake flair.
- Form Cake Balls: Line a plate with parchment paper. Roll the dough into 8 equal balls and place them on the parchment paper.
- Prepare Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered monkfruit/erythritol sweetener, light cream, and vanilla extract until smooth and glossy.
- Glaze Cake Balls: Using a spoon, dip each cake ball into the glaze, coating thoroughly. Return the coated ball to the parchment-lined plate immediately and top with extra sprinkles.
- Set Cake Balls: Place the glazed cake balls in the fridge or freezer to set fully. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- Storage: Store finished cake balls in an airtight container lined with parchment paper between layers. Keep refrigerated for softer texture or frozen for firmer centers and longer storage.
Notes
- If the dough is too dry to roll, add an extra 1/2 – 1 tbsp of softened cream cheese.
- Substitute half the cream cheese with softened butter for a richer buttery flavor.
- Add food coloring to the glaze for a more festive appearance.
- Coconut flour can be used instead of almond flour: use 4 tbsp (28g) coconut flour and increase by 1/2-1 tbsp if needed for thickness.
- Store in the freezer for longer shelf life; thaw in the fridge before serving for best texture.
