Ingredients for Keto Cheesecake Bars

- Butter: salted or unsalted
- Almond flour: do not use coconut flour in this recipe, they are not equal subs.

How to make Keto Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Bars
These cheesecake bars are grain-free, made with keto-friendly sweetener and chocolate chips. First, you’ll melt your butter and then mix it together with almond flour and swerve to make the crust. Once those are well combined, pat your crust into a 8×8 pan and bake on 350°F for 6 minutes.
While your crust is baking, combine your cream cheese, egg, vanilla and powdered swerve in a bowl and beat together with an electric beater. After your cheesecake filling is well combined, fold in the chocolate chips.
Then just top your crust with the cheesecake chocolate chip filling and pop it back in the oven for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Is this recipe good for keto meal prep?
Absolutely! You can prepare these Cheesecake Bars ahead of time and freeze them! Simply keep them in the pan and cover it very tightly with cling film. I recommend doing a few layers of the plastic wrap before placing in the freezer. They will keep in the freezer for up to a month!
What should I serve with this keto dessert?
I love coffee with my dessert. If you do too, try one of these Keto Coffee Drinks that will keep you from ever going to Starbucks again! This dessert is also a great way to end a show-stopping meal. Start with this One Pan Tuscan Chicken or Marinated Flank Steak, pair with Cauliflower Risotto or Broccoli Cheddar Muffins and finish with these bars!
Tips for the Best Cheesecake Bars
- By preparing the pan with foil or parchment paper in advance you make cleanup and serving a breeze.
- Using room temperature cream cheese and eggs is always preferable in any cheesecake recipe, it creates a smoother texture and mixes easier.
- Do not over beat the cream cheese because this adds air to the filling, which results in cheesecake that crack as they cool. This handy tip applies to any cheesecake recipe, so keep in mind when making other recipes.
How to store this low carb recipe
To store these bars, simply place in a container with an airtight lid (or a resealable bag) and put in the fridge. This dessert will stay fresh for up a week.
