Servings: 9 bars
Calories: 287kcal
Ingredients
- For the crust:
- ½ cup almond flour
- 4 teaspoons melted butter
- 2 tablespoons powdered Monk fruit, or swetener of choice
- For the bar filling:
- 16 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 cup sour cream, room temperature
- ¾ cup powdered Monk fruit, or sweetener of choice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- juice from one lime
- For the topping:
- 1 ½ cup mixed berries, fresh or frozen
- 1 tablespoon Monk fruit (or other sweetener) optional
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, add all the ingredients of the crust. Stir until combined.
- Line an 8’’ square baking tray with parchment paper. Place the crust mixture inside the tray and press it down evenly. Refrigerate it while making the filling.
- Use an electric mixer to mix the room temperature cream cheese with the sweetener, the lemon juice, and the vanilla extract. Next add the sour cream and mix until smooth.
- Pour the filling on top of the crust, spread evenly. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours for the cheesecake to harden.
- The topping can be made before serving or in advance. Simply put all the ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat until berries turn into a light jam. Add sweetener if desired.
- Pour the jam over the filling. If the cheesecake has already been refrigerated, you can serve it immediately. If not, refrigerate it for at least 4 hours.
- Divide the cheesecake into 9 square slices and enjoy!
Notes
- Granulated monk fruit can be turned into powdered monk fruit just by blending it into a high-speed blender for a couple of minutes.
- This cheesecake is an excellent option as a summer dessert as you won’t need to use the oven (but is still delicious any time of the year!)
- In comparison with a baked cheesecake, the texture is less light as the eggs in the other version provide some air to the mixture.
- Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days.
