There is nothing I love more than a good cheesecake! It has always been one of my favorite desserts, I find sweet, creamy cheesecake so satisfying! Today I am sharing an indulgent dessert that takes traditional cheesecake to a whole new level with the addition of keto caramel sauce, rich chocolate and coffee! 

This three layer delight is perfect for those on a keto, or diabetic friendly diet. It also stores and freezes well so you might want to make a double batch! For more fun fall recipes, check out this list of 20+ Easy Fall Desserts!

How do you make Low Carb Cheesecake Bars

This recipe has three layers. It takes a bit of time, but it is so worth it! 

  1. Combine the melted butter, sweetener, and almond flour. Press into a lined 8×8 pan and bake at 350 degrees F for 7 minutes or until lightly set and just beginning to brown. Do not overcook! 
  2. The next layer is the mocha cheesecake. To make this layer beat the cream cheese, confectioners sweetener, sour cream, cocoa powder, vanilla and coffee grounds with an electric mixer. Spread it over the crust after the crust has cooled completely. 
  3. Lastly, beat the cream cheese, confectioners sweetener, vanilla and keto caramel sauce with an electric mixer. Spread it over the mocha layer and bake until cooked through. 

What kind of Keto Caramel Sauce should I use?

For this recipe I use my homemade, three ingredient caramel sauce. This sauce is sugar free and super easy to make. You can easily double the recipe and store the extra caramel in the fridge. Add it to coffee or cinnamon rolls for a real treat! 

If you want to make this recipe, but are not necessarily following a keto diet you can use a store bought caramel sauce if you prefer. 

Can I Freeze Cheesecake Bars?

Cheesecake Bars keep in the freezer for up to 3 months if stored in an air tight freezer container. Before you freeze your cheesecake, be sure that it has cooled to room temperature.

Then simply slice, if you want to be able to remove one piece at a time, or you can freeze unsliced if you prefer. Simply remove the cheesecake one day before serving and allow it to thaw in the fridge. 

Tips for the Best Low Carb Cheesecake Dessert

  • Line the pan! This will make clean up and removal of the bars so much easier. You can use parchment paper or foil if you prefer. 
  • The crust is very buttery, you may question the amount of butter,  but trust me! This ensures a soft, buttery shortbread crust. Less butter will result in a dry, crumbly crust. 
  • Bake the crust and allow it to cool completely before adding the cheesecake layers. 
  • Use room temperature cream cheese for the smoothest texture. 
  • Beat each cheesecake layer with an electric mixer until completely combined.

    I'm ready for November, but I'm not ready for the holidays yet! And yes, I'm totally in denial that its fall, where did summer go?! :) These cheesecake squares look delicious, Annie! I'm a huge fan of anything with caramel, but the addition of mocha sounds like it takes these cuties to another level. Yum!

    Nine weeks left? Oh my goodness! This looks amazing and so easy to make! I love baked goods as gifts - so thoughtful, affordable and usually I make something I most likely wouldn't have made for myself. #client
