Low-Carb, Sugar-Free, and Absolutely Heavenly!
Let me just say it: OMG. I made these Keto Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Bars and I feel like I’m floating. They’re creamy, chocolatey, and just the right amount of sweet — without any of the sugar or guilt. The buttery almond flour crust paired with a smooth cheesecake layer and sugar-free chocolate chips makes these bars feel like a total indulgence… but they’re actually low-carb and keto-friendly!
If you’re new to keto or just craving something comforting and satisfying, this is the dessert for you.
🛒 Ingredients
For the crust:
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup powdered erythritol
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
For the cheesecake layer:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered erythritol
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup sugar-free chocolate chips (like Lily’s or ChocZero)
👩🍳 Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8″ baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Make the crust: In a bowl, mix almond flour, powdered erythritol, melted butter, vanilla, and a pinch of salt until a crumbly dough forms. Press firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- Prebake the crust: Bake for 8–10 minutes, until lightly golden. Let it cool slightly while preparing the filling.
- Make the cheesecake layer: Beat softened cream cheese with erythritol until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until fully combined.
- Assemble: Pour the cheesecake mixture over the crust and smooth it out. Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the top.
- Bake: Return to the oven and bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the center is just set and the edges are lightly golden.
- Cool & chill: Let cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing into bars.
