These exotic Sugar-free Passionfruit No-Bake Cheesecake Bites are perfect for Spring! 

Passionfruit – anybody obsessed with them? Their unique exotic sweet and tangy taste is one of my favorite flavors to add to any dessert. The season for fresh passion fruit here in Mexico starts in December and man, have I been excited! Their arrival each year is such a wondrous thing, and their season is so short-lived!  Whenever I see them, I buy them in bulk and freeze the pulp.

This easy no-bake cheesecake bites recipe uses strained passionfruit pulp to infuse the cheesecake balls with that sweet exotic tang.

It seems ridiculous that you get such a delicious treat from such simple ingredients. I made these cheesecake bites for Christmas and they were such a success that I had to make a bunch more after the holidays. They are the texture of cheesecake, thanks to the decadent cream cheese. The fresh passionfruit pulp shines through and makes these taste light and refreshing! The perfect sweet treat for spring and summer! 

So what are you waiting for? Let’s make some!

Ingredients for making no bake cheesecake bites: 

I kept this recipe pretty simple. You’ll need a food processor to make these passionfruit cheesecake truffles and about 10 minutes of your time. 

• Cookies – I used these sugar-free coconut cookies to keep these cheesecake bites sugar-free and low in calories. Use store-bought if need be.
• Full-fat cream cheese
• Passion fruit pulp, fresh or frozen ( use 3 fresh fruits or 6 tbsps of pulp – I like this brand)
• Salt 
• Stevia to taste

How to store these cheesecake bites? 

As these contain dairy, you need to store them in an airtight container in the fridge. They should last in the fridge for about a week. I actually popped them in the freezer instead and I found it the best way to store them if you don’t plan on devouring all of them within a week.

I took them out of the freezer and placed them on a serving plate about 5 minutes before I plan on eating or serving them and they are perfect. They do not freeze super solid and DO taste quite nice half-frozen too – like little passion fruit ice cream truffles. Perfect for those hot summer days ahead.

Can I make cheesecake bites without a food processor? 

If you don’t have a food processor, you can simply crush the biscuits in a sealable freezer bag. Smash them up with a heavy pan or a rolling pin. Then add the cookie crumbs to a big mixing bowl and add your softened cream cheese.

The cream cheese should be soft enough for you to break it down with a wooden spoon and blend it with the crushed biscuit. Then mix in the passionfruit and you’re ready to start rolling your cheesecake bites.

Tips and Variations for making Passion Fruit Cheesecake Bites: 

• Use full-fat cream cheese – they are small and they taste so much better if using the good stuff. 
• If you cannot find fresh passion fruit pulp, you can use store-bought or frozen. I like this brand here as it tastes super natural, is NOT made from concentrate, has no sugar added, and no added preservatives. A medium passionfruit contains approximately 2 tablespoons of pulp. So you can use 6 tbsps pulp instead of 3 fresh passionfruits.
• If your cookies are not very sweet, you can add some liquid stevia or powdered sugar to the dough.
• To keep your cheesecake bites sugar-free and healthy, use sugar-free cookies. I like these sugar-free coconut banana cookies and make them all the time.
