Keto Cookie Cheesecake Bars by Noreen’s Keto Kitchen & Life!

Ingredients

Cheesecake Layer:

• 16 ounces of Full Fat Cream Cheese, softened to room temperature
• 3 Medium Eggs, at room temperature
• 1/2 cup of Low Carb Sweetener ( I use Swerve, Monk Fruit, or Xylitol)
• 2 teaspoons of Vanilla Extract

Cookie Layer:

• 1 Cup of Superfine Almond Flour
• 1/2 Cup of Coconut Flour
• 1/4 Cup of “Brown” Low Carb Sweetener, lightly packed ( I use this Swerve Sweetener, Brown)
• 1/4 Cup of Low Carb Sweetener, granulated (I use Swerve, Monk Fruit, or Xylitol) Swerve Sweetener, Granular
• 1 stick of Butter (8oz), melted
• 1 teaspoon of Vanilla Extract
• 1 teaspoon of Cinnamon
• 1/4 cup of Sugar Free Chocolate Chips ( I use Bake Believe Baking Chips or Lily’s Dark Chocolate Chips)

Instructions:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. I used a small rectangular baking dish.
• Line the pan with parchment paper.
• Cookie Crust: mix the coconut flour, almond flour, low carb sweeteners and cinnamon in a medium bowl.
• Stir in the melted butter and vanilla extract and mix until well combined. The dough will be crumbly, kind of like wet sand.
• Press the dough into the bottom of the prepared pan, going just slightly up the sides of the pan.
• Bake for about 10- 12 minutes, until barely browning.
• Let the crust cool for at least 10-15 minutes .
• Sprinkle the Chocolate chips on top of the prepared cookie crust.
• Cheesecake Layer:  Beat the cream cheese and low carb sweetener together at a medium speed until fluffy.
• Add in the eggs and vanilla and beat for at least 2 minutes on medium/high speed.
• Pour the filling onto the slightly cooked cookie crust/chocolate chips.
• Smooth the top of the cheesecake batter with the back of a spoon or spatula.
• Bake for about 30-40 minutes, or until the center is almost set, but still a bit jiggly.
• Cool the cake in the pan, to room temperature, and then refrigerate for 4 – 5 hours (however, overnight is best), until completely set.
• Remove the cheesecake from the pan using the parchment paper sides.
• Store cheesecake in the fridge.
• When serving, allow the cake to warm up outside the fridge for at least 10 minutes. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream and enjoy!
