Ingredients

Scale

Crust:

  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1/3 cup powdered erythritol
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Cheesecake Layer:

  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup powdered erythritol
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Cranberry Topping:

  • 1 1/2 cups fresh cranberries
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1/4 cup powdered erythritol
  • 1/2 tsp orange zest (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
  • Make Crust: Mix almond flour, erythritol, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until crumbly. Press into the pan evenly and bake for 10–12 minutes until lightly golden. Let cool.
  • Prepare Cheesecake Layer: Beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add erythritol, eggs, and vanilla extract, mixing until creamy. Spread over the cooled crust.
  • Cook Cranberry Topping: In a saucepan, combine cranberries, water, erythritol, and orange zest. Cook on medium heat until cranberries burst and the mixture thickens. Cool slightly and spoon over the cheesecake layer, swirling with a knife for a marbled effect.
  • Bake: Bake for 30–35 minutes until the cheesecake is set with a slight jiggle in the center. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3–4 hours or overnight.
  • Slice and Serve: Use a sharp knife to cut into squares. Garnish with fresh cranberries or powdered erythritol if desired.

Notes

  • To prevent cracks, avoid overbaking and let the bars cool gradually.
  • Frozen cranberries work well if fresh ones aren’t available.
  • For a nut-free option, substitute the almond flour crust with a coconut flour crust (adjusting liquid as needed).
