07 -

08 -

1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
→ Ruby Red Strawberry Swirl
11 -
1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
12 -
1/4 cup erythritol/monk fruit blend sweetener, granulated
13 -
1/2 tsp xanthan gum
14 -
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine 1 3/4 cups super-fine almond flour, 1/2 cup granulated erythritol/monk fruit blend sweetener, 1/4 tsp sea salt, and 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter. Mix until the ingredients are thoroughly combined and resemble wet sand.
02 -
Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking pan lined with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden. This forms the perfect base for your Easy Keto Strawberry Cheesecake Bars Recipe. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
03 -
While the crust bakes, combine 1 1/2 cups hulled and sliced fresh strawberries, 1/4 cup granulated erythritol/monk fruit blend sweetener, and 1 tsp fresh lemon juice in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until the strawberries soften. Stir in 1/2 tsp xanthan gum and cook for another minute until thickened. Set aside.
04 -
In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat 24 oz softened full-fat cream cheese with 3/4 cup powdered or granulated erythritol/monk fruit blend sweetener until smooth and creamy. Gradually beat in 1/2 cup heavy cream until just combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
05 -
Gently beat in 2 large eggs, 1 tbsp vanilla extract, and 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can introduce too much air and cause cracks in your Easy Keto Strawberry Cheesecake Bars Recipe during baking.
06 -
Pour the prepared cheesecake filling evenly over the cooled crust in the baking pan. Dollop spoonfuls of the strawberry swirl mixture over the top of the cheesecake batter. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the strawberries into the cheesecake batter, creating a beautiful pattern.
07 -
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle when gently shaken. Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let the bars cool in the oven for 30 minutes. This gradual cooling helps prevent cracking on the surface.
08 -
Remove from the oven and cool completely on a wire rack. For the best Easy Keto Strawberry Cheesecake Bars Recipe, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before lifting out of the pan using the parchment paper, slicing into 12 bars, and serving.
# Notes:
01 -
To prevent cracks, ensure your cream cheese is very soft before mixing, and avoid over-beating the eggs. Cooling the bars slowly in the oven also helps.
02 -
Feel free to adjust the amount of erythritol/monk fruit blend sweetener in both the crust and filling to suit your personal sweetness preference.
03 -

04 -
For a different flavor, you can substitute the strawberries with other keto-friendly berries like raspberries or blueberries, or even add a sugar-free chocolate drizzle.
