Ingredients
For the Cookie Layer:
- 2 cups almond flour
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup granulated erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup sugar-free chocolate chips
For the Cheesecake Layer:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup powdered erythritol
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat & Prep
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Step 2: Make the Cookie Dough
In a mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, granulated sweetener, baking soda, and salt. Stir in melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until a dough forms. Fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips.
Step 3: Make the Cheesecake Filling
In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sweetener, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Step 4: Assemble & Bake
- Press half of the cookie dough evenly into the bottom of the baking pan.
- Pour the cheesecake mixture over the cookie layer and spread evenly.
- Crumble the remaining cookie dough on top.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and the center is set.
Step 5: Cool & Serve
Let the bars cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing. Cut into 12 bars and enjoy!
Notes
- For a peanut butter twist, mix 2 tablespoons of peanut butter into the cheesecake filling.
- For a crunchier texture, add chopped pecans or walnuts to the cookie dough.
- To make it dairy-free, use plant-based butter and dairy-free cream cheese.
