For the Crust
1.5 cups almond flour
0.25 cup melted butter
2 tablespoons erythritol (or sweetener of choice)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
For the Cheesecake Filling
16 oz cream cheese, softened
0.5 cup powdered erythritol (or sweetener of choice)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup heavy cream
For the Topping
1 tablespoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons erythritol (for sprinkling over the top)
In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, melted butter, 2 tablespoons of erythritol, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Mix until the ingredients form a crumbly texture. Press this mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of a baking dish lined with parchment paper. This will be the base for your delicious No Bake Keto Churro Cheesecake Bars.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it’s completely smooth and lump-free. This step is key for a creamy texture. Gradually add the 0.5 cup of powdered erythritol and the vanilla extract. Mix until everything is well combined. You should have a smooth, creamy base ready for the next step.
In a separate, clean bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form. This means the cream holds its shape when you lift the whisk. Be careful not to over-whip, or it can turn into butter.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Use a spatula and a light hand to combine them without deflating the whipped cream. The goal is a light, airy, and fully incorporated cheesecake filling.
Spread the prepared cheesecake filling evenly over the almond flour crust in the baking dish. Use a spatula to smooth the top surface so it’s nice and flat. This creates a beautiful canvas for your topping.
In a small bowl, mix together the 1 tablespoon of cinnamon and the remaining 2 tablespoons of erythritol. Sprinkle this churro-inspired spice blend evenly over the top of the cheesecake filling. Make sure to cover the entire surface for maximum flavor in every bite of these No Bake Keto Churro Cheesecake Bars.
Cover the baking dish and refrigerate the bars for at least 4 hours, or until the cheesecake filling is completely firm. Once set, lift the bars out using the parchment paper overhang. Cut them into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy your amazing No Bake Keto Churro Cheesecake Bars!
