This recipe brings the flavor and creamy texture of cheesecake to an easy-to-eat and easy-to-make dessert. The berry swirl looks beautiful and adds the delicious, sweet flavor and healthy anthocyanins berries supply. If you’re wanting a little crunch, add 1/2 cup of finely chopped pecans to the crust mixture. These bars store well in the refrigerator, but it’s best to eat them within a week. Freezing can cause the cream cheese to break.

These looked so good, I had to make them! They turned out so good! I made a few adjustments, just got personal preference. I used a frozen blend of cherries, strawberries and blueberries to make the fruit compote, I also used a lime instead of a lemon. I blended it up with a immersion blender after it had cooked down. I added pecans to the crust mixture ( about 3/4 of a cup) and the last thing I did was to add extra like juice, about 2 tablespoons, to the cheesecake mixture. Excellent recipe Wes!
Wonderful! So glad you enjoyed it. The berry medley is a great idea! 🧡
Edit to above post..stupid auto correct

I made this. 12 T of butter was way too much. The crust mixture was way too wet! I added another 1/2 c of almond flour…still too wet!
The crust will not be firm or dry after pre-baking. It will set in the refrigerator as it cools.
Great recipe. So good. I did use only 8 T of butter. Taste was excellent. I love your shows, glad you are back😀
Thank you so much, Wanda!!
What brand of allulose powdered surgar and where do u purchase. New to keto excited to try this.
I typically use the Anthony’s brand of Allulose (available here) but it’s granulated. For this recipe, I used the Wholesome Yum “Besti” brand of powdered allulose (available here.) Hope that helps!
Loved the bars, I made them for our card night and everyone loved them. You are a natural entertainer, thanks.
Thank you, Denise! 🧡💛
I’d love to make these,but can coconut flour be substituted for the almond flour?
You can use coconut flour, but you’ll need to only use about 1/4 to 1/3 the amount of almond flour, as it’s much more “absorbent.”
Our entire family loved it. We have a kiddo who is dealing with type 1 diabetes. This did not spike her blood sugar at all. We just dosed for the 8 gram carb count and it was as if she did not even eat it at all.
That’s so great to hear, Holly! Thanks for coming back to share! (This recipe works great with raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries as well!)
I just tried this dessert and OH MY GOODNESS!! This is the best thing I’ve ever eaten! I can’t wait to make it for company. No one would ever guess it’s low carb. Thank you, Wes. You’re a genius! 👍😁
First post but watching YouTube for years. Thank you for walking me through Keto experience. Second time making your blueberry cheesecake bars. I use your recipe exactly and yum!
Thank you so much, Odette! Best of luck on your keto journey!
I made this and the filling was delicious, but for me personally, the butter flavor in the crust was just overwhelming. Do you think it would work if I used less butter? Otherwise, I loved it. I appreciate all the work you have done to make this recipe. At 80 years old, I learn something new every day. This was new for me and I am anxious to make it again.
