These keto cheesecake shooters look just like candy corn! They are perfect for fall parties or as a snack on the spooky night.
Keto Candy Corn Idea
There are two types of people in the world: those who love candy corn and those who hate it. Just like cilantro, there really isn’t a middle ground.
Growing up, my favorite Halloween candy of all time was candy corn! I ripped those bags open first and loved seeing bowls overflowing with these red and yellow confectionary treats.
Now that I’m on the keto diet, I can’t exactly eat handfuls of candy corn anymore. I took the same beautiful colors and made a low-carb dessert that looks just like them!
No-Bake Cheesecake Shooters
When you have a last-minute party that you need snacks for, reach for this recipe! It comes together super-quickly and there are only 3g net carbs in each shooter. That means you can enjoy treats along with everyone else.
They are so festive and fun that everyone – even kids and people not on the keto diet – will enjoy these no-bake shooters.
Mini Cheesecake Shooters
I’ve gotta be honest, I didn’t use any cream cheese in these shooters. I used cheesecake-flavored pudding. That’s what made them so easy and quick. It only takes 20 minutes to make these cute little shooters – from start to finish.
When you layer them the way that I did, they look just like candy corn and taste like cheesecake. No sweat and effortless, this is about to become one of your favorite fall desserts.
Keto Pudding Ideas
I have a few tips that will help you make the best cheesecake shooters out of pudding. My first tip is to make sure you grab sugar-free Jell-O pudding mix. If it has added sugar in it, it won’t be keto-friendly.
Next, use plain almond milk. Vanilla-flavored almond milk is way too strong and will stand out, giving your shooters a slightly strong taste.
These little shooters also make the perfect snack. Since they are individually portioned, you can help yourself with portion control. Each cup has 3g net carbs, so it’s really simple to keep track of your macros too.
Low-Carb Party Food
When you serve these at parties, everyone is going to grab for them! Serve them in tiny plastic shot cups with little dessert spoons. If you are going to serve them at a kid’s party, add some googly eyes to the cups or draw a Jack-O-Lantern face on them.
Be creative and have fun! There are so many ways you can change my simple recipe.
Another one of my favorite low-carb party foods is easy keto chocolate mousse. You can put this mousse in small shot cups too along with the cheesecake shooters.
No-Bake Pudding Desserts
One of the best things about this no-bake pudding dessert is that you can make it ahead of time. Store it in your refrigerator and it is ready before the party starts.
These pudding cups will stay fresh for about 3 days in the refrigerator. I suggest wrapping each cup in plastic wrap. This will keep the air off of them and help retain the delicious cheesecake flavor.
