Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 1/2 cups Almond Flour
- 4 tbsp Butter
- 2 tbsp Powdered Sugar Alternative
Filling
- 16 oz Cream Cheese
- 3/4 cup Sugar Free Powdered Sugar
- 1 cup Sour Cream
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 2 tbsp Lime Juice
Topping
- Mixed Berries (quantity not specified, estimated 1 cup)
- Sugar Alternative (quantity not specified, estimated 2 tbsp)
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Line a square baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking. In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, butter, and powdered sugar alternative. Mix until just combined, then press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the pan. Place the crust in the refrigerator to harden.
- Make the filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar-free powdered sugar, sour cream, and vanilla extract together until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Stir in the lime juice to add a fresh citrus note.
- Assemble the cheesecake bars: Pour and spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the chilled crust. Return the pan to the refrigerator and chill for about four hours, or until the cheesecake is firm.
- Prepare the topping: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the mixed berries and sugar alternative. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens into a compote. Allow it to cool slightly before spooning over the chilled cheesecake bars.
Notes
- Use parchment paper or nonstick spray to easily remove the bars from the pan.
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to make mixing easier and smoother.
- Refrigerate the crust and filling thoroughly to achieve the best texture.
- Adjust sugar alternative quantity in the topping to taste based on the sweetness of the berries.
- Store leftover cheesecake bars in the refrigerator and consume within 3-4 days for optimal freshness.
