Method
Preparation
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Prepare an 8x8-inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper.
Mix the crust ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, cocoa powder, erythritol, and salt.
Stir in melted butter and vanilla extract until well combined.
Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
Bake the crust for 10–12 minutes until set and slightly darker in color. Allow it to cool slightly.
Beat the softened cream cheese in a large mixing bowl until smooth and creamy.
Add erythritol, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and fully combined.
Fold in sour cream and optional sugar-free chocolate chips gently.
Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust, spreading it evenly.
Bake for 20–25 minutes until edges are set and center is slightly jiggly.
Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for an additional 10 minutes.
Cool to room temperature and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
Lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment overhang, slice into squares, and enjoy.
Notes
Optional: Drizzle with chocolate sauce for an extra indulgent touch.
