Ingredients
Keto 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 Egg
- 1/3 cup Granulated Sugar Substitute
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Almond Joy Topping
- 1/2 cup Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips
- 1 tbsp Coconut Oil
- 1/4 cup Unsweetened Coconut Flakes
- 2 tbsp Almond Slivers
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F to prepare for baking the crust.
- Make the Keto Crust: In a bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, and powdered sugar substitute. Stir in coconut oil or melted butter and mix until a dough forms. Spread the dough evenly into a 9×9 baking dish.
- Bake Crust: Bake the crust for 15 minutes or until it is slightly browned. Remove from the oven and set aside.
- Prepare Cheesecake Filling: In a separate bowl, mix together softened cream cheese, egg, granulated sugar substitute, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Layer and Bake Cheesecake: Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the baked crust. Return the dish to the oven and bake for another 25-30 minutes until set. Remove and let cool.
- Melt Chocolate Topping: In a small bowl, microwave the sugar-free chocolate chips and coconut oil together for about 30 seconds until melted and smooth.
- Assemble Topping: Drizzle half of the melted chocolate over the cooled cheesecake. Sprinkle with unsweetened coconut flakes and almond slivers, then drizzle the remaining chocolate on top.
- Chill Bars: Place the assembled cheesecake bars in the refrigerator or freezer to cool and set completely.
- Serve: Once set, slice the cheesecake into squares and enjoy your delicious low-carb Almond Joy cheesecake bars!
Notes
- You can substitute butter for coconut oil in the crust for a different flavor profile.
- Use your preferred sugar substitutes like erythritol or monk fruit sweetener to keep the recipe keto-friendly.
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to ensure a smooth filling without lumps.
- Allow the bars to chill thoroughly for best texture and easier slicing.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for longer shelf life.
