Ingredients
 

Crust Ingredients

Cheesecake Layer

Pecan Pie Layer

  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup granular allulose sweetener, see notes below
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 cup pecans, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs, beaten

Instructions
 

For the Crust:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8x8 baking pan with parchement paper or foil, and lightly spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
  • Combine the melted butter, almond flour, sweetener and vanilla extract until a thick dough forms. Press into the prepared pan and bake for 8 minutes. DO NOT OVER BAKE. The crust should be set and very lightly browned. Allow the crust to cool completely while you make the other layers.

For the Cheesecake Layer:

  • Combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, sweetener, vanilla and egg in a mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until completely smooth. Set the bowl aside.

For the Pecan Pie Layer

  • Heat a large sauce pan to medium low heat. Add the butter and when it has completely melted and begun to bubble add the allulose sweetener and stir continously until dissolved.
  • As you stir the mixture will begin to turn brown like caramel. (this takes about 5 minutes) When the sweetener mixture resembles honey and is gold in color, stir in the heavy cream. The mixture will bubble and steam, this is normal.
  • Stir in the pecans, vanilla and salt and remove from heat. Allow the mixture to cool 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. It will thicken as it cools.
  • When the mixture has cooled stir in the beaten eggs (be sure the mixture is not too hot or it will cook the eggs).

To Assemble:

  • Spread the cheesecake layer over the cooled, pre-baked crust. Next, spread the pecan pie layer evenly on top.
  • Bake the bars 30-35 minutes until the pecan pie layer is set and does not wiggle in the middle.
  • Allow the bars to cool, transfer to a fridge and chill at least 4 hours before serving.

Notes

Sweetener Notes: This recipe uses two sweeteners. Monkfruit is used in the crust and cheesecake layer.
Allulose is used for the pecan pie layer. The allulose is used because monkfruit will crystalize and become grainy when cooked in this method. If you do not have access to allulose you can use granular monkfruit for the pecan pie layer. HOWEVER, the mixture will not be smooth, it will be quite grainy as it cools. These bars are a bit labor intensive, I would only reccomend making them if you use the correct sweetener.
