Soften the base: Let the cream cheese and butter sit at room temperature until very soft. This makes the mixture smooth and prevents lumps.
Beat until creamy: In a mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the cream cheese and butter until fluffy and fully combined, about 1–2 minutes.
Sweeten and flavor: Add the powdered sweetener, vanilla, salt, and (if using) lemon juice and zest. Beat again until smooth and evenly sweet.
Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
Prep the strawberries: Finely chop the strawberries. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove extra moisture. If you prefer a smoother texture, lightly mash them.
Fold gently: Use a spatula to fold the strawberries into the cheesecake mixture.
Don’t overmix—just enough to distribute the berries without making the mixture watery.
Fill the molds: Spoon the mixture into a silicone mini muffin or candy mold, filling each cavity almost to the top. If you don’t have molds, dollop tablespoon-sized mounds onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Chill to set: Freeze for 1–2 hours, or refrigerate for 3–4 hours, until firm enough to pop out of the molds and hold their shape.
Release and store: Remove the fat bombs from the molds. Transfer to an airtight container.
Keep in the fridge for a soft, truffle-like texture or in the freezer for a firmer bite.
