Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- 9x9-inch Baking Dish
- Parchment Paper
Ingredients
Delicious Crust
- 1.5 cups Almond Flour
- 4 tablespoons Melted Unsalted Butter
- 0.25 cup Swerve Granulated Sugar Substitute
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Creamy Filling
- 16 ounces Cream Cheese softened
- 1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
- 0.66 cup Swerve Granulated Sugar Substitute
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 0.5 cup Lily's Baking Chips plus extra for sprinkling, optional
Instructions
- Prepare the Delicious Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, melted butter, Swerve granulated sugar substitute, unsweetened cocoa powder, and vanilla extract. Stir everything together until it's well blended and resembles moist crumbs.
- Form the Base: Line a 9x9 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving a little overhang on the sides for easy lifting later. Firmly press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared dish to form a solid base.
- Whip Up the Creamy Filling: In a separate mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and Swerve granulated sugar substitute until the mixture is completely smooth and free of lumps.
- Add Flavor and Fluff: Stir in the vanilla extract, then slowly pour in the heavy whipping cream. Continue to beat the mixture until it becomes smooth, light, and wonderfully fluffy.
- Fold in the Chocolate: Gently fold in the ½ cup of Lily's baking chips, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the rich cheesecake mixture.
- Assemble Your Bars: Carefully spread the creamy cheesecake filling over the prepared crust layer in your baking dish, smoothing the top. If you desire, sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top for a pretty finish.
- Chill to Perfection: Place the baking dish in the freezer and chill until the bars are completely firm and set. This typically takes a few hours.
- Slice and Enjoy: Once firm, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the entire cheesecake out of the dish. Slice into 12 individual bars and savor your amazing, no-bake, low-carb treat!
