Ingredients
1 1/2 cups almond flour
1/4 cup powdered erythritol
1/4 cup melted butter
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch salt
16 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered erythritol
2 large eggs
1/4 cup sour cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries, hulled
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp powdered erythritol
Instructions
1. Add strawberries, lemon juice, and erythritol to a saucepan over medium heat. Cook for about 8 minutes until soft, then blend until smooth. Let it cool.
2. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Mix almond flour, erythritol, melted butter, vanilla, and salt until crumbly. Press into an 8×8 pan lined with parchment. Bake for 10 minutes.
3. Beat softened cream cheese with erythritol until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently. Stir in sour cream and vanilla until just combined.
4. Pour cheesecake filling over cooled crust. Drop spoonfuls of strawberry puree and swirl gently with a toothpick.
5. Bake for 30–35 minutes until the edges are set but the center still jiggles. Cool in the oven for 30 minutes, then chill in the fridge for 3+ hours.
6. Lift using parchment and slice into 9 or 16 bars. Wipe knife between cuts for clean slices. Serve chilled.
Notes
Let the strawberry swirl cool before adding to the cheesecake to prevent blending.
Always use softened cream cheese for a smooth, lump-free texture.
Chill thoroughly before slicing to help bars firm up and cut cleanly.
