These keto espresso cheesecake bites are the perfect pick-me-up snack.
They taste delicious, plus they come packed with a little punch of caffeine.
The combination of chocolate and espresso has always been a favourite of mine. I've use it in my Keto Turtles Cheesecake, Chocolate Caramel Filled Cookies, Chewy Double Chocolate Cookies and even these Keto Marble Cupcakes.
These little Espresso Cheesecake Fat Bombs were slightly difficult to photograph. They aren't the most exciting dessert I've made in terms of looks, but as they say, don't judge a book by its cover. These are one tasty little low carb snack.
