Ingredients
Scale
Raspberry Sauce
- 3/4 cup raspberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 tbsp water
- 3 to 4 tbsp powdered Swerve Sweetener
- 1/4 tsp glucomannan
Crust
- 1 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup powdered Swerve Sweetener
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup butter (melted)
Cheesecake Filling
- 3.5 ounces sugar-free white chocolate chips
- 1/2 ounce cocoa butter
- 12 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 1/4 cup sour cream (room temperature)
- 3/4 cup powdered Swerve Sweetener
- 1 large egg (room temperature)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare Raspberry Sauce: In a small saucepan over low heat, combine raspberries and water. Bring mixture to a simmer and cook until raspberries are soft enough to mash easily.
Then stir in powdered sweetener to taste, whisk in glucomannan to thicken the sauce. Remove from heat and let it cool completely. - Make the Crust: Preheat oven to 325°F and lightly grease a 9×9 inch square pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, cocoa powder, powdered sweetener, and salt. Stir in melted butter until mixture is well combined.
Press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan and bake for 12 minutes. Remove and let cool while preparing the filling. - Reduce Oven Temperature: Lower oven temperature to 300°F to prepare for baking the cheesecake filling.
- Melt White Chocolate and Cocoa Butter: Using a small heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water, gently melt sugar-free white chocolate chips and cocoa butter, stirring constantly to avoid seizing.
Remove from heat once fully melted and smooth. - Prepare Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese with sour cream until smooth.
Add powdered sweetener and beat until combined, then beat in melted white chocolate mixture.
Add egg and vanilla extract, beating just until combined—avoid overmixing. - Assemble the Bars: Dollop about half of the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust.
Drizzle half of the raspberry sauce evenly over the cheesecake layer.
Repeat with remaining cheesecake filling and raspberry sauce. - Swirl the Layers: Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the cheesecake and raspberry sauce layers together.
Gently shake or tap the pan to even out the filling. - Bake the Cheesecake Bars: Bake at 300°F for 30 to 35 minutes, until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly.
Remove from oven and let cool completely at room temperature. - Chill Before Serving: Refrigerate the cooled cheesecake bars for at least 3 hours to fully set before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen raspberries for the sauce depending on availability.
- Glucomannan is a keto-friendly thickener—ensure it is well whisked into the sauce to avoid clumps.
- Melting white chocolate over gentle heat is crucial as it can seize easily; do not leave unattended.
- Do not overbeat the cheesecake filling once the egg is added to avoid incorporating too much air.
- Allow the bars to fully chill in the fridge for best texture and flavor.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
