☑️ Storage Instructions

Fridge: Store leftover cheesecake bars tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Freezer: Freeze individual bars in a single layer, then transfer to a bag. Freeze for up to a couple of months. Thaw in the fridge before serving.

💡 Tips

  • Always use full fat cream cheese. The more fat, the creamier the cheesecake will be.
  • To prevent lumpy cheesecake, set the cream cheese out on the counter and allow it to come completely to room temperature before mixing.
  • Don’t skip the sour cream. Not only does the tanginess of sour cream balance out the flavor of cream cheese, it helps add a smoother texture.  
  • Refrain from over mixing the batter. When you overmix the batter, air pockets will form, which will not only make your Keto cheesecake bars look unattractive when bubbles rise to the top during baking, the added air can cause them the crack.
  • Another way to prevent cracking is don’t over bake them. These low carb cheesecake bars will still have a slight jiggle to them when they are done, but the edges will be set.
  • In order to get clean slices, the most important thing is to allow the blackberry cheesecake bars to cool completely. Cut them with a sharp knife and clean the knife in between cuts.

🔄 Substitutions and Additions

  • Citrus: Add a splash of lime juice to the blackberry puree for a fun twist on blackberry lime cheesecake.
  • Mixed berry: Swirl in some fresh raspberries or blueberries with the blackberries for a mixed berry flavor.
  • Berry topping: Sprinkle crushed freeze-dried blackberries over the top before baking for extra color and berry flavor.
  • Whole blackberries: Fold a few whole berries into the cheesecake filling for added texture.
  • Spice: Mix in a pinch of cinnamon with the crust if you like a warmer flavor.
  • Extract: Use lemon extract instead of vanilla for a brighter citrus note in the filling.

Why Did My Bars Crack On Top?

That usually happens from overbaking or sudden cooling. Let it cool slowly before refrigerating.

Can I Double The Recipe for a Crowd?

Yes! Use a 9×13 pan and adjust the bake time slightly…add about 10 extra minutes and check the center.

Is a Blackberry Carb Friendly?

Good news, there are only a little over 3 net carbs in a 1/2 cup serving of blackberries! Carbs in blackberries are all from natural sugar but the fiber helps off set to the net carbs!

Are Blackberries Keto?

Absolutely! Blackberries are one of the best choices of fruit on Keto due to the amount of fiber. So if you’re looking for a great snack between meals, fresh blackberries are an excellent choice.

On top of being a tasty snack, blackberries pack a nutritional punch with vitamins and minerals like C, K, and manganese. Check out this article to read all about their healthy benefits.

  1. Do you think I could replace Blackberries with Strawberries in the same amounts? These sound amazing, but I’m a bigger fan of strawberries, and thought it would prob be an easy swap, but wanted to ask your opinion??

  2. 5 stars
    This recipe is fabulous! Picked a whole bunch of blackberries and was trying to find keto recipes to make with it.
    This was the perfect choice!
    Added a little extra blackberries and lemon then is called for, super good.

    1. Hi Britt,
      How nice, I love being able to pick my own blackberries! Nice to hear that you enjoyed them 🙂

  3. 5 stars
    This may be the first time I’ve gone back to search for a recipe just to leave a review. These bars are perfection. My husband is doing Keto and I needed a recipe for a potluck where one of the gals is gluten free, so this recipe was a good fit. As a German I am not a fan of sickly sweet desserts and this one is just right for my taste buds. First time trying Swerve and I was impressed at NOT tasting any funky after taste etc. My husband kept saying “how can this be keto ??” This is definitely one that will go into the handwritten cookbook collection, rather than just pin on pinterest, can’t lose it!!

    1. Hi Alexa,
      Thanks so much for your kind words and I’m so glad to hear you and your husband enjoyed them!

  4. 5 stars
    I made this for our family’s early Easter and it was beyond amazing! Healthy never tasted so good! Easy to follow and tastes even better! Thank you!

    1. Hi Lorissa,
      I’m so glad you liked it!! I can’t think of a better way to celebrate our risen Savior 🙂
