These Keto Strawberry Cheesecake Bars are a creamy, low-carb, and sugar-free dessert perfect for anyone following a ketogenic lifestyle. Made with a buttery almond flour crust and a smooth cream cheese filling sweetened with erythritol, topped with fresh strawberries, they offer a delicious and guilt-free treat.

Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 ½ cups almond flour
  • ¼ cup melted butter
  • 3 tablespoons erythritol (from the total ½ cup)

Filling

  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup erythritol (minus the 3 tablespoons used in crust, so ½ cup total)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Topping

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced (plus more for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the crust and filling.
  2. Prepare Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, melted butter, and 3 tablespoons of erythritol. Mix until crumbly, then press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a prepared baking dish to form an even crust layer.
  3. Bake Crust: Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. After baking, remove and allow it to cool completely before adding the filling.
  4. Make Filling: In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the remaining erythritol, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until the filling is smooth and creamy.
  5. Assemble and Bake: Pour the cream cheese filling over the cooled crust. Return to the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly but mostly firm.
  6. Cool and Chill: Remove from the oven and cool at room temperature for 30 minutes. Then refrigerate the bars for at least 4 hours to allow them to fully set and develop flavor.
  7. Add Topping and Serve: Just before serving, top the cheesecake bars with fresh sliced strawberries for a refreshing and decorative finish.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese to ensure a smooth filling.
  • Erythritol can be substituted with other keto-friendly sweeteners like monk fruit or stevia, adjusting quantities to taste.
  • For firmer bars, chill overnight instead of 4 hours.
  • Ensure strawberries are fresh and hulled for best texture and presentation.
  • Use a springform or lined baking dish for easy removal.
