Top the crust with the filling. Shake the tray to the sides and onto the counter to get rid of any bubbles. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the cheesecake is set in the centre. Close the oven door to cool.

FAQ

Best way to store leftover cheesecake bars?

These cheesecake bars will last about 5 days stored in an airtight container in the fridge. 

Substitutions

Make turtle cheesecake bars by adding some Lily’s sugar free chocolate chips or drizzle the buttery topping with sugar free chocolate. Everything’s better with chocolate!

Instead of making an almond flour crust, try a nut crust or purchase a pre-made nut crust (like Diamond brand) to save time.

Tips

More time in the fridge is better!

Due to the fact that this is a no-bake cheesecake, it will firm up better if left in the fridge overnight. This would be a fantastic treat to make ahead of time.

Make Ahead Tip: The topping may be prepared up to an hour ahead of time and kept at room temperature until serving time. Keep it out of the fridge or your butter will harden.

What to serve with cheesecake bars

I like to enjoy my cheesecake bars with a rich, keto hot chocolate or glass of cold almond milk.

Ingredients

Crust

  • 1½ cups almond flour
  • ¼ cup granulated monk fruit or Swerve *erythritol sweetener
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ⅓ cup melted butter

Filling

  • 16 oz cream cheese softened
  • ¼ cup granulated monk fruit
  • ¼ cup heavy cream softened
  • 2 eggs at room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp baking powder

Topping

  • ¼ cup butter melted
  • ¼ cup granulated monk fruit
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup pecans chopped

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to 350F and prepare an 8’’ square baking tray with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Mix the ingredient for the crust in a bowl until a granulated consistency. Then spread it in the prepared baking tray and press it down evenly. Bake it for 6-8 minutes or until lightly golden. Let it cool for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 325F.
  • In another bowl, add cream cheese (it should be at room temperature to avoid lumps), granulated monk fruit, ground cinnamon, and baking powder. Using an electric mixer, mix until smooth. Then add the heavy cream and mix to combine. Finally, fold in the eggs and combine.
  • Pour the filling on top of the crust. Shake the tray to the sides, and onto the counter to release any bubbles it could have. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the center of the cheesecake is set. Leave it in the oven, with the door slightly open, to cool.
  • To make the topping: bring butter and granulated monk fruit to the stove at medium heat until it gets brownish. Remove from heat and add heavy cream, vanilla extract, and chopped pecans. Stir to combine. Pour it on top of the cheesecake and refrigerate for at least one hour.

Notes

Tips / Storage
  • These cheesecake bars will last about 5 days stored in an airtight container in the fridge.
