Ingredients

Keto Crust:

2 cups almond flour

1/3 cup powdered sugar substitute
6 tbsp melted butter

1 tsp cinnamon

Cheesecake Layer:

16 ounces cream cheese
1/3 cup sour cream
2/3 cup heavy cream

2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup powdered sugar substitute

Churro Topping:

1/2 cup granulated sugar substitute
2 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

Step 1: In a bowl, whisk together almond flour, cinnamon, and powdered sugar substitute until well combined.

Step 2: Add melted butter and mix thoroughly until the mixture has a crumbly texture.
Step 3: Press the crust mixture firmly into a parchment-lined pan to create an even layer. Place the pan in the freezer while you prepare the cheesecake.
Step 4: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar substitute until smooth and creamy.

Step 5: Add sour cream, vanilla extract, and heavy cream to the cream cheese mixture. Continue mixing until the texture is smooth and fluffy.
Step 6: Pour the cheesecake layer over the chilled crust and smooth out the top.
Step 7: Combine the granulated sugar substitute with cinnamon for the churro topping. Sprinkle the desired amount evenly over the cheesecake layer, pressing down lightly to help it stick.

Step 8: Return the pan to the freezer and let it set for about 2 hours before serving.

Tips & Variations

Use a good-quality powdered sugar substitute that best mimics the texture of real powdered sugar for a smoother crust and cheesecake.
Press the topping gently into the cheesecake layer to ensure it adheres well and enhances the churro flavor.

For a citrus twist, add a teaspoon of fresh lime zest to the cheesecake mixture.
To make individual servings, cut the cheesecake into small squares before freezing and store them separately.

Storage

Store these bars in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week. For best texture, let them thaw in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving. Avoid leaving them out at room temperature for too long as they can soften quickly.

How to Serve

The image shows slices of a three-layer dessert bar on a white marbled surface. The bottom layer is a thick, crumbly light brown crust with visible texture. Above it is a thick, smooth, creamy white middle layer that looks soft and rich. The top layer is a thin dusting of cinnamon or spice, giving a light brown, slightly speckled look with some granules of sugar visible. The dessert slices are rectangular, and in the background several more pieces are arranged on a black plate. The colors mainly include white, light brown, and cream, all against the white marbled surface. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use a different nut flour for the crust?

Yes, pecan or walnut flour can be used as a substitute for almond flour, but it may slightly change the texture and flavor of the crust.

Is it necessary to freeze the bars or can I refrigerate them?

Freezing helps the bars set firmly and makes slicing easier. You can refrigerate them instead, but the chill time will be longer and the texture may be softer.
