Notes
Substitutions & Additions: Use powdered Swerve, xylitol, or regular powdered sugar instead of erythritol. For dairy-free, substitute butter and cream cheese with softened coconut oil or vegan alternatives. Swap white chocolate chips for dark chocolate, semi-sweet, or mini chips. Get creative with add-ins like chopped nuts, sprinkles, sugar-free cream cheese frosting swirl, or crushed sugar-free cookies. A tiny drop of almond extract can boost the red velvet flavor.
Tips for Success: Ensure butter and cream cheese are properly softened for a smooth dough. Use powdered sweetener to avoid grit; blitz granulated sweetener if needed. Add food coloring gradually, starting with 1/2 tsp. Don't overmix after adding chips. Taste and adjust seasoning/sweetness before adding chips.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-5 days. It will firm up when chilled; let it sit out for 10-15 mins to soften, or enjoy cold. Freeze in a freezer-safe container or balls for 2-3 months; thaw in the refrigerator.
