Servings: 9 bars
Calories: 313kcal
Ingredients
- For the crust:
- ¼ cup granular Monk Fruit
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ⅓ cup melted butter
- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- For the filling:
- 16 ounces cream cheese at room temperature
- ¼ cup granular monk fruit
- ¼ cup heavy cream at room temperature
- 2 eggs at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- For the topping:
- ¼ cup butter melted
- ¼ cup granulated Monk fruit
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup pecans chopped
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 350F and prepare an 8’’ square baking tray with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Mix the ingredients for the crust in a bowl until a granulated consistency. Then spread it in the prepared baking tray and press it down evenly. Bake it for 6-8 minutes or until lightly golden. Let it cool for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 325F.
- In another bowl, add cream cheese (it should be at room temperature to avoid lumps), granulated monk fruit, ground cinnamon, and baking powder. Using an electric mixer, mix until smooth. Then add the heavy cream and mix to combine. Finally, fold in the eggs and combine.
- Pour the filling on top of the crust. Shake the tray to the sides, and onto the counter to release any bubbles it could have. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the center of the cheesecake is set. Leave it in the oven, with the door slightly open, to cool.
- To make the topping: bring butter and granulated monk fruit to the stove at medium heat until it gets brownish. Remove from heat and add heavy cream, vanilla extract, and chopped pecans. Stir to combine. Pour it on top of the cheesecake and refrigerate for the minimum of one hour, but a few hours would be best.
