Calories: 95kcal

3/4 cup almond flour 85g
3 tbsp powdered monkfruit/erythritol sweetener 48g
1/8 tsp xanthan gum optional, just helps with texture
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, Use SAMMYSAM for 20% OFF on the Stoka website

1/4 cup powdered monkfruit/erythritol sweetener 60g
1 1/2 - 2 tbsp light cream if you use heavy cream, you'll need more because it will cause it to thicken
1/8 tsp vanilla extract
extra sprinkles for topping

In a bowl, whisk together almond flour, powdered monkfruit/erythritol sweetener, xanthan gum and salt.
Add the cream cheese and extracts and mix well until a soft dough forms.
Add your sprinkles to the dough and mix again.
Line a plate with parchment paper.
Roll the dough into 8 balls and place them onto the parchment paper.
To make your glaze, combine the three glaze ingredients above in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth.
Take one of your cake balls and using a spoon, dip it into the glaze, moving it around to coat.
Place the glazed cake ball back on the plate and immediately top with sprinkles.
Repeat this process for the rest of the cake balls.
Place the finished cake balls into the fridge or freezer to set (depending on how solid you want the centers to be). After 30min you can serve. Enjoy your Keto Birthday Cake Balls!
Store these in a ziplock bag in the freezer once the glaze has hardened
OR place in an airtight container between layers of wax or parchment paper in the fridge or freezer.

Almond Flour - my favourite flour to bake with and for no bake keto desserts! If you don't have this, look at my tips below for using coconut flour instead.
Powdered Monkfruit/Erythritol Sweetener - in my opinion, this is the best sweetener for keto desserts but especially no-bake ones because it's so fine that it blends in seamlessly without leaving any weird "crunch" to your desserts.
Vanilla Extract
Almond Extract - This is option but I feel it really helps with the "birthday cake" flavour!
Keto Friendly Sprinkles - These are made by Stoka Nutrition. They are honestly my favourite! I recently wrote a review on all of their products, which you can find here. Make sure if you try these that you use my 20% OFF discount "SAMMYSAM" at checkout!

If you find your dough is too dry to roll into balls, just add an extra 1/2 - 1 tbsp of softened cream cheese.
You can also make these cake balls using half softened butter and half cream cheese for more of a buttery cake flavour.
If you really want to make these fun for a birthday or for your kids, add a couple drops of baby blue or pink food colouring to your glaze!

Yes, you can make these with coconut flour (although, I recommend almond flour if you can get your hands on it/do not have an allergy!) Instead of using 3/4 cup of almond Flour, you can replace it with 4 tbsp or 28g of coconut flour (add another 1/2-1 tbsp if the batter isn't thick enough).

Store these Keto Birthday Cake Balls in ziplock or airtight container in the freezer between layers of wax our parchment paper once the glaze has set.
You can also store them in the fridge for a softer texture (although, I recommend freezing them to preserve them longer, then letting them thaw in the fridge instead)
