Ingredients
- For the Crust:
- 1 ½ cups Almond flour fine ground
- ¼ cup Butter melted, unsalted
- 3 tablespoons Erythritol can substitute with stevia blend
- For the Filling:
- 16 oz 450g Cream cheese (softened to room temperature)
- 1 cup Heavy cream 35% fat content
- ½ cup Erythritol powdered
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract pure, not imitation
- 1 cup Fresh strawberries hull and slice thinly
- Extra strawberries for topping
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, melted butter, and 3 tablespoons of erythritol. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of your prepared pan. Bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden. Let cool completely.
- Make the Filling: While the crust cools, beat softened cream cheese with ½ cup erythritol using an electric mixer for 2-3 minutes until smooth and fluffy. Gradually add the heavy cream and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until light and airy. Gently fold in the sliced strawberries.
- Assemble the Bars: Pour the cheesecake mixture over the cooled crust, spreading evenly with an offset spatula. Arrange additional strawberry slices on top in an attractive pattern.
- Chill: Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, though overnight is ideal for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. For longer storage, freeze for up to 3 months. Sweetener Substitution: You can substitute erythritol with stevia, monk fruit, or xylitol, but you'll need to adjust the amount to match the sweetness level of each. Dairy-Free Option: Replace the heavy cream with coconut cream and use a dairy-free cream cheese substitute. Berry Variations: You can substitute the strawberries with raspberries, blackberries, or a mixed berry combination while keeping the recipe keto-friendly.
