Ingredients for Keto Cheesecake Bars
As always, this is a quick overview of the ingredients you need to make our Keto Cheesecake Bars. For the complete, printable recipe just keep scrolling.
- Butter: salted or unsalted
- Almond flour: do not use coconut flour in this recipe, they are not equal subs.

- Cream cheese: room temperature cream cheese works best in this recipe.
- Egg: size large egg
- Vanilla extract
- Chocolate chips- I used Lily’s sugar-free
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.

Yep going to need to try these as soon as possible ?
I saw these on Instagram yesterday and made them last night. OMG, SO GOOD! Going without desserts has been the hardest part of keto for me but these were a hit.
I’m so glad you loved them, Katherine! The no-bake cookies I linked to above the recipe are SO GOOD too!! They might be another sweet treat lifesaver for you❤
I’m confused, at the top of this post it says,2.4 net carbs per bar but in the recipe card it says 1 net carb per bar
Sorry about the typo, Donna. They are 2.4 net carbs per bar when cut into 12 bars!
Omg you just made my day, I figured it was 16 servings.
This is the best keto dessert I’ve made. They were delicious and satisfying. This recipe is a game changer if you are missing desserts while on keto. Just absolutely excellent
Move over chocolate chip cookies, these chocolate chip cheesecake bars look scrumptious! On my to make list!
I just love these are low carb! Less guilt. 😉
I’m blown away that these are Keto! They look so rich and decadent. It’s hard to find good low-carb desserts…definitely need to try!
Really love how there is almond flour in the crust! Looks insanely good!
Could you use monkfruit sweetener in place of the swerve in the crust portion of the recipe? Is it the same amount?
If you are using pure monkfruit, I’m not sure how much you would use since it is much sweeter than sweerve. However something like the Lakanto monkfruit that is mixed with erythritol can be used as a direct replacement.
What is “sweerve” ?
It is a sweetener, the same as erythritol.

I’m having a hard time matching up the ingredients and getting the same nutritional
Info as you….
Hi Amy, all nutrition calculators are a bit different, I use a brand called Nutrifox and find it very accurate, but I can share what I did with you. I put in all of my specific brand information and double-checked it. It comes to 5.1 carbs, 0.7 grams of fiber and 2 grams of sugar from Lilly’s sugar-free chocolate chips. I do not count(most other keto blogs also do not count) the sugars from the confectioners swerve sweetener that may be the difference you are seeing. Since swerve has no effect on blood sugar and is not counted on keto, so it is removed to avoid any confusion. I’ve tripled check this information and I believe the nutritional information posted is accurate. I hope you enjoy this recipe, it is a favorite in our house!
Awesome thanks! I think it’s coming from my almond flour. Which I’m surprised by, because it’s Bobs Red Mill. Thanks for the great reply!
