Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 2 tablespoons erythritol (or sweetener of choice)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup melted butter
Cheesecake Filling
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup powdered erythritol (or sweetener of choice)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Cinnamon Topping
- 2 tablespoons erythritol (or sweetener of choice)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, shredded coconut, erythritol, and ground cinnamon. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture becomes crumbly and holds together when pressed.
- Form the crust base: Press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom of a lined or greased 8×8 inch baking pan to create an even base layer. Place it in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the filling.
- Make the cheesecake filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the heavy cream, powdered erythritol, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Continue to beat until the filling is fluffy and well combined.
- Assemble the bars: Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust and spread it evenly. Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Add the cinnamon topping: Mix the erythritol and cinnamon for the topping in a small bowl. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the cheesecake layer to mimic the classic churro flavor.
- Chill to set: Refrigerate the cheesecake bars for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, until firm and set.
- Serve: Once set, cut into 12 bars and serve chilled. Enjoy the rich and creamy keto-friendly treat!
Notes
- Ensure cream cheese is softened for a smooth filling.

- Feel free to substitute with any keto-friendly sweetener of your choice.
