Equipment
- 9x9-inch Baking Dish
- Parchment Paper
- Food Processor
- Hand Mixer
- Large mixing bowl
Ingredients
Crust
- 2 cups super fine almond flour
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 1/3 cup monk fruit/allulose sweetener
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Cheesecake Filling
- 16 ounces softened cream cheese
- 1 cup fresh blackberries
- 1/2 cup monk fruit/allulose sweetener
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare Your Oven & Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x9 inch baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy lifting later.
- Make the Simple Crust: In a food processor, combine the almond flour, melted butter, 1/3 cup sweetener, 1 egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Pulse until a soft, uniform dough forms.
- Press the Crust: Firmly press this dough evenly into the bottom of your prepared baking dish. Bake for 10 minutes while you prepare the delicious cheesecake filling.
- Whip the Creamy Filling: In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the softened cream cheese and sour cream until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
- Add Remaining Filling Ingredients: Mix in the 2 eggs one at a time, then add the 1/2 cup sweetener, lemon zest, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract. Mix until just combined – be careful not to overmix!
- Puree the Blackberries: Place the fresh blackberries into a food processor and blend until you have a smooth puree.
- Swirl in Berry Goodness: Pour the blackberry puree into the bowl with the cheesecake filling and gently mix until the vibrant berry swirl is beautifully incorporated.
- Bake to Perfection: Carefully pour the blackberry cheesecake mixture over the slightly cooled crust in the baking dish and spread it out evenly. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still has a slight, delicate jiggle.
- Chill for Clean Slices: Let the bars cool completely at room temperature, then transfer them to the refrigerator to chill for at least 1-2 hours (or ideally longer) until fully firm before cutting into neat, healthy bars. Enjoy!
Notes
These Keto Blackberry Cheesecake Bars are a perfect low-carb indulgence. Keep them chilled for the best texture and easy slicing.
