These primal cheesecake bites are so delicious and they are my husbands favorite treat.
This will melt/soften quickly, so do not leave it out of the freezer ahead of consuming. Just take out what you are eating immediately.
For this recipe I used this silicon mold but you could also use a lined baking pan with parchment paper if you don't have the silicone mold.
