- 1/4 cup butter melted
- 1 whole egg beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Cream Cheese Filling

- 1/3 cup monk fruit/allulose sweetener
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Lemon Curd Layer
- 1 batch 5-Minute Keto Lemon Curd (approximately 1 1/2 cups), cooled completely
For the Whipped Topping
- 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
- 1/4 cup monk fruit/allulose sweetener
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese softened
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Start with the Lemon Curd: First things first, prepare your 5-Minute Keto Lemon Curd recipe. Once it's ready, pop it into the fridge to get nice and cool. This gives it time to set while you prepare the other delicious layers.
- Make the Simple Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, 1/3 cup monk fruit/allulose, melted butter, beaten egg, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir everything until it forms a crumbly yet cohesive mixture. Press this mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of an 8x8 or 9x9 inch baking dish. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let it cool completely on a wire rack.
- Whip Up the Cream Cheese Filling: While your crust is cooling, get started on the creamy filling. In a large bowl, beat the 8 ounces of softened cream cheese with 1/3 cup monk fruit/allulose until it's super smooth and fluffy. Gradually mix in the 1/4 cup heavy cream, sour cream, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until everything is well combined and silky.
- Prepare the Fluffy Topping: In a separate, clean bowl, combine the 1 1/4 cups heavy cream, 1/4 cup monk fruit/allulose, 2 tablespoons softened cream cheese, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer, beat on high speed until beautiful, stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overbeat!
- Assemble Your Lush Delight: Once the crust is fully chilled, spread the prepared cream cheese filling evenly over it. Next, carefully spoon and spread the cooled Keto Lemon Curd over the cream cheese layer. Finally, gently spread the fluffy whipped topping over the lemon curd.
- Chill and Enjoy: Cover your dish and refrigerate for a minimum of 3-4 hours, or even better, overnight. This chilling time is essential for the layers to set perfectly and for the flavors to meld. Slice into squares and serve this refreshing, healthy treat!
