Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups almond flour
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/4 cup erythritol or preferred sweetener
• 1/2 cup melted butter
• 16 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup erythritol or preferred sweetener (for filling)
• 3 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup pistachios, chopped for topping
• 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (optional)
• Pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, cocoa powder, erythritol, and melted butter. Mix until crumbly, then press into the bottom of a greased 9×9 inch baking dish.
2. Bake the Crust: Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden. Remove and let cool.
3. Make the Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sour cream until smooth. Add erythritol, eggs, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
4. Pour the Filling: Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust, spreading evenly.
5. Add Toppings: Sprinkle the chopped pistachios and shredded coconut (if using) over the top of the filling.
6. Bake: Return to the oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the center is set and slightly firm to the touch.
7. Cool and Serve: Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing into squares. Serve chilled.
