Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup granulated erythritol
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 16 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1/2 cup granulated erythritol
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate sandwich cookies (crushed)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix together the almond flour, cocoa powder, granulated erythritol, and salt.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the melted butter and vanilla extract until the mixture is well combined and resembles wet sand.
- Press into Baking Dish: Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Bake for 10-12 minutes until set. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
- Beat Cream Cheese: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Add Erythritol and Vanilla: Gradually add the granulated erythritol and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Incorporate Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Add Sour Cream: Mix in the sour cream until the filling is smooth and creamy.
- Fold in Cookie Crumbs: Gently fold in the crushed sugar-free chocolate sandwich cookies.
- Pour Filling Over Crust: Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust, spreading it evenly.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. The cheesecake will firm up as it cools.
- Cool to Room Temperature: Allow the bars to cool to room temperature in the baking dish.
- Refrigerate: Once cooled, cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight) to set completely.
- Cut into Bars: Once chilled, lift the cheesecake out of the baking dish using the parchment paper (if lined) and cut into squares.
- Enjoy: Serve chilled and enjoy your delicious Keto Oreo Cheesecake Bars!
Notes
- Use room temperature cream cheese for a smooth filling without lumps.
- Melt the butter completely to ensure the crust ingredients combine well.
- For best results, chill the bars overnight to let flavors meld and texture firm up.
- Store leftover bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Make sure to use sugar-free chocolate sandwich cookies to keep this dessert keto-friendly.
