Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ cup granulated erythritol
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ¾ cup granulated erythritol
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons brewed espresso or strong coffee
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup sugar-free caramel sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, cocoa powder, erythritol, and salt. Stir in melted butter and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until the mixture is well combined and crumbly.
- Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the crust.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and ¾ cup erythritol until smooth and creamy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Pour in the heavy cream, brewed espresso, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, and mix until fully incorporated.
- Pour the cheesecake mixture over the crust in the baking pan, spreading it evenly.
- Drizzle the sugar-free caramel sauce over the top, and use a toothpick or knife to swirl it into the cheesecake layer.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
- Remove from the oven and let cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set completely.
- Once chilled, lift the cheesecake out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into bars and serve.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, try adding a tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder to the cheesecake mixture.
- You can also top the bars with whipped cream and a drizzle of additional sugar-free caramel sauce for an extra indulgent treat.
