Ingredients
1 1/2 cups almond flour
1/4 cup powdered erythritol
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup melted butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
16 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered erythritol
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons sour cream
1 cup strawberries
1 tablespoon powdered erythritol
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
1. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine strawberries, erythritol, and lemon juice. Cook for 8–10 minutes until soft and thickened. Blend and let cool.
2. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Line an 8×8 pan with parchment paper.
3. In a bowl, mix almond flour, erythritol, melted butter, salt, and vanilla. Press into the pan and bake for 10–12 minutes. Cool completely.
4. In another bowl, beat softened cream cheese and erythritol until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well. Stir in vanilla and sour cream until fully combined.
5. Pour filling over cooled crust. Add strawberry puree in spoonfuls and swirl gently with a toothpick.
6. Bake at 325°F for 30–35 minutes, until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
7. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
8. Lift out using parchment, slice, and serve chilled.
Notes
Let cream cheese come to room temperature to avoid lumps in the batter.
Don’t overmix the batter; this prevents air bubbles and cracking.
Cool completely and chill before slicing for clean, professional-looking bars.
