Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 1 medium Egg Provides structure and moisture
  • 2 tablespoons Sweetener Your favorite low-carb option

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Gather all your ingredients for the Fried Mini Cheesecake Bites, ensuring to measure each one. Preheat your frying oil in a deep skillet over medium heat to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the egg and baking powder, whisking until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add your sweetener of choice and blend thoroughly.
  3. Gradually mix in the curd cheese, protein powder, and coconut flour until you achieve a thick, cohesive batter, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Wet your hands to prevent sticking, scoop out portions of batter, add a berry in the center, and roll into small balls.
  5. Carefully place the formed balls into hot oil, frying for about 3-4 minutes until golden-brown and crispy.
  6. Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried bites and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Allow to cool.
