Crust
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 0.25 cup melted butter
- 2 tablespoons erythritol (or sweetener of choice)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Cheesecake Filling
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup powdered erythritol (or sweetener of choice)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream
Topping
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons erythritol (for sprinkling over the top)
- Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, melted butter, erythritol, and cinnamon. Mix until the mixture forms a crumbly texture that holds together when pressed.
- Press the Crust: Firmly press the crust mixture into the bottom of a lined 8×8-inch baking dish to create an even, compact base. Set aside while making the filling.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it is smooth and creamy, free of lumps.
- Add Sweetener and Flavor: Gradually add the powdered erythritol and vanilla extract to the cream cheese, mixing thoroughly until well combined and smooth.
- Whip the Heavy Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, ensuring it is light and airy.
- Fold Cream into Cream Cheese: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, being careful to incorporate fully without deflating the whipped cream.
- Assemble the Bars: Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the prepared almond flour crust, smoothing the surface with a spatula for an even layer.
- Prepare the Topping: In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon and erythritol for the topping.
- Sprinkle the Topping: Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon-erythritol mixture over the surface of the cheesecake layer for added flavor and a churro-inspired finish.
- Chill and Set: Refrigerate the assembled bars for at least 4 hours or until the cheesecake filling is firm enough to cut into neat squares.
- Serve: Once set, cut into 9 squares and serve chilled for a delicious and creamy keto dessert experience.
Notes
- Use powdered erythritol or a similar keto-friendly sweetener to maintain the keto profile.
- Ensure cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
- Whip the heavy cream just until stiff peaks form for the best texture in the cheesecake filling.
- The bars must be chilled sufficiently to set properly before slicing.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator covered tightly to maintain freshness for up to 4 days.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute cream cheese and heavy cream with keto-friendly non-dairy alternatives, though texture may vary slightly.
