Equipment
- Mixing Bowls
- 9x9-inch Baking Dish
- Microwave-safe Bowl
Ingredients
CRUST
- 1 cup Almond Flour
- 1 cup Coconut Flour
- 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar Substitute
- 1/2 cup Coconut Oil (or melted butter)
CHEESECAKE FILLING
- 16 ounces Cream Cheese softened
- 1 large Egg
- 1/3 cup Granulated Sugar Substitute
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
ALMOND JOY TOPPING
- 1/2 cup Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips
- 1 tablespoon Coconut Oil
- 1/4 cup Unsweetened Coconut Flakes
- 2 tablespoons Almond Slivers
Instructions
- Preheat & Prep: Get your oven ready by preheating it to 325°F (160°C).
- Mix the Crust: In a medium bowl, gently whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, and powdered sugar substitute. Then, stir in the coconut oil (or melted butter) until a soft, crumbly dough forms.
- Form the Base: Evenly press this dough mixture into the bottom of a 9x9 inch baking dish, creating a firm base.
- Bake the Crust: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove and set aside to cool slightly.
- Whip the Filling: In a separate mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, the egg, granulated sugar substitute, and vanilla extract. Beat these ingredients together until the mixture is wonderfully smooth and creamy.
- Add Filling to Crust: Carefully spread this delicious cheesecake layer over your partially baked crust.
- Bake the Cheesecake: Return the dish to the oven and bake for another 25-30 minutes, or until the cheesecake filling is set and firm. Take it out and let it cool completely to room temperature.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a small, microwave-safe bowl, combine the sugar-free chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. Microwave for approximately 30 seconds, then stir until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Layer the Topping: Drizzle about half of the melted chocolate evenly over the cooled cheesecake layer. Next, sprinkle the unsweetened coconut flakes and almond slivers over the chocolate. Finish by drizzling the remaining melted chocolate on top.
- Chill & Set: To ensure the bars set beautifully, place the baking dish in the refrigerator (or freezer) for at least 1 hour, or until thoroughly chilled and firm.
- Slice & Enjoy: Once perfectly set, slice the cheesecake into individual squares. Serve and enjoy your healthy, homemade Low-Carb Almond Joy Cheesecake Bars!
