📝 Ingredients

For the Crust

2 cups almond flour
¼ cup powdered keto sweetener
¼ cup melted unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt

For the Cheesecake Filling

16 oz (450 g) cream cheese, softened
½ cup powdered keto sweetener
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon lemon juice
¼ cup sour cream

For the Blueberry Swirl

1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed and drained)
2 tablespoons keto sweetener
1 teaspoon lemon juice

Directions

Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Mix almond flour, sweetener, melted butter, vanilla, and salt until the texture resembles damp sand.
Firmly press the crust into the prepared pan and bake for 10 minutes, until lightly golden. Allow it to cool slightly.
In a saucepan over medium-low heat, cook blueberries with sweetener and lemon juice for 5–7 minutes until softened. Mash lightly and cool.
Beat softened cream cheese until completely smooth. Add sweetener, then mix in sour cream, vanilla, lemon juice, and eggs one at a time on low speed.
Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust and spread evenly.
Spoon small dollops of blueberry mixture over the filling and swirl gently with a knife or skewer.
Bake for 30–35 minutes, until the edges are set while the center has a slight jiggle.
Cool at room temperature for 1 hour, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Slice into bars using a warm knife for clean edges.

High-protein tip: Serve with a spoonful of unsweetened Greek yogurt or cottage cheese on the side for an extra protein boost.
