Description

Keto Strawberry Cheesecake Bars offer a creamy, low-carb cheesecake experience featuring a buttery almond flour crust, velvety cream cheese filling, and fresh strawberries for natural sweetness. With minimal prep, these bars require only a quick bake for the crust and a chill to set the filling. Perfect for gatherings or meal prepping, they cater to keto and gluten-free diets without sacrificing taste.


Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups almond flour
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 3 tablespoons erythritol or keto-friendly sweetener
  • 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup erythritol (or sweetener) for the filling
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced (plus more for topping)


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving overhang.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, melted butter, and 3 tablespoons erythritol. Mix until crumbly.
  3. Press mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared dish to form a crust.
  4. Bake crust for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden. Cool completely.
  5. In another bowl, beat softened cream cheese and 1/2 cup erythritol until smooth.
  6. Add heavy cream and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
  7. Fold in sliced strawberries.
  8. Spread cheesecake mixture over the cooled crust, smoothing the top. Top with extra strawberry slices if desired.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (ideally overnight) until fully set.
  10. Using the parchment overhang, lift out and cut into squares.

Notes

For nut allergies, substitute sunflower seed flour for almond flour. Coconut cream can replace heavy cream for a dairy-light version. These bars can be made a day ahead and stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or frozen (sliced, wrapped) for 2 months. If the filling seems runny, chill longer or whip cream before folding. Ensure strawberries are drained to avoid excess moisture.
