How to Make Keto Chocolate Chip Cookie Cheesecake Bars

How to Make the Gluten Free Cheesecake Crust

Preheat oven to 350F.

In a large mixing bowl, add in the almond flour, Brown Swerve, salt and cinnamon.  Whisk together briefly. 

Add in the egg, melted butter and vanilla extract and continue mixing until well combined.  Stir in the chocolate chips and mix just until they’re evenly distributed.

Take ⅔ of the crust mixture and press it out evenly in a 9x9 baking dish that’s lined with parchment paper. Bake crust for 10 minutes, while you make the cheesecake filling.

How to Make the Sugar-Free Cheesecake Filling

In a separate bowl, add the cream cheese and sour cream, then mix using a hand mixer till fluffy.

Add in the egg, Swerve confectioners and vanilla, then continue mixing until well combined.

Poor the mixture over the cheesecake crust and spread it out evenly using a spatula.  Take the remaining cookie crust mixture and crumble it over the top, leaving some of the cheesecake filling peeking through.

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the cheesecake has set, but still has a slight jiggle to it.  Allow it to cool at room temperature for 10-15 minutes, then chill in the fridge for at least 1-2 hours before cutting into.

Store in the fridge for 5-7 days in an airtight container.

Tips for the Perfect Keto Cheesecake Bars

These Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Bars are super easy to make, but here are a few tips that I have found helpful and hope you will too:

How to Tell When Cheesecake Bars are Done

The easiest way to to tell if your cheesecake bars are ready to come out of the oven is to start checking for signs of doneness about 5 minutes before the baking time is up. Once they're done, the edges will begin to brown slightly and they will be mostly firm with a slight jiggle in the center.

Make Sure Keto Cheesecake Bars are Cool Before Cutting

The key to cheesecake bars setting up well is to let them cool completely then chill in the fridge a couple hours. This allows the cream cheese and eggs to firm up and become sliceable. This takes a little but of patience but trust me, it's worth the wait.

Can Cheesecake Bars be Frozen?

They sure can, making them a perfect meal prep dessert idea. They be frozen for up to 3 months. To freeze, place the cooled Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake Bars on a plate and freeze, uncovered, just until firm. Then take them out and wrap with plastic wrap and stick them back in the freezer.

Can I Make Keto Cheesecake Bars Ahead of Time?

This recipe for Chocolate Chip Cookie Cheesecake bars is actually even BETTER the next day. If you need a make ahead dessert, you will definitely love these!

How to Cut Cheesecake Bars Cleanly

To get really clean edges when cutting your Keto cheesecake bars, dip your knife in hot water for a few seconds, wipe it off and cut your bars. Each bar will slice cleanly and will make a beautiful presentation.

What Sweetener is Best in Keto Cheesecake Bars?

Swerve has a 1:1 conversion ratio with sugar making it an easy substitution. But you can use Monk Fruit or Allulose if you prefer. Just be sure and follow the conversion chart for which ever type sweetener you use.
