Ingredients (makes 16 bars)

Crust:

  • 1½ cups (150g) almond flour
  • ⅓ cup powdered erythritol or monk fruit
  • ⅓ cup melted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Cheesecake Layer:

  • 16 oz (2 blocks) full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup powdered erythritol or allulose
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (optional, for brightness)

Chocolate Topping:

  • 6 oz sugar-free chocolate chips (Lily’s, ChocZero, or similar)
  • ⅓ cup heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil or butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line an 8×8-inch or 9×9-inch pan with parchment paper.
  2. Make the crust: Mix almond flour, sweetener, melted butter, vanilla, and salt until crumbly. Press firmly into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 10–12 minutes until lightly golden. Let cool slightly.
  3. Make the cheesecake layer: Beat softened cream cheese and sweetener until smooth. Add heavy cream, eggs, vanilla, and lemon juice. Beat until creamy and lump-free.
  4. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the cooled crust and smooth the top.
  5. Bake for 25–30 minutes until the center is just set (it will jiggle slightly). Turn off the oven and crack the door, letting it cool inside for 30 minutes to prevent cracking. Then cool completely on the counter.
  6. Chocolate topping: Heat heavy cream until just simmering. Pour over sugar-free chocolate chips and coconut oil. Let sit 2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.
  7. Pour the chocolate over the cooled cheesecake layer and spread evenly. Refrigerate for at least 3–4 hours (or overnight) until fully set.
  8. Cut into 16 squares with a sharp knife (wipe knife between cuts for clean slices).

Storage Tips

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. These bars also freeze well — wrap individually and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge.
