Ingredients
Keto Oreo Cookie Crust
- 1 ¼ cups cocoa powder
- 1 cup coconut flour
- 1 cup powdered monkfruit/erythritol sweetener
- 1 tbsp arrowroot starch optional
- 1 tsp xanthan gum optional
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt 1/2 tsp if using unsalted butter
- 1 cup salted butter, softened
- 1-1.5 tsp black food coloring optional
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
Sugar Free Cheesecake Filling
- 1 x 8 oz brick cream cheese, softened
- 11 tbsp powdered monkfruit/erythritol sweetener
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 large egg
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C).
- In a bowl, mix all dry crust ingredients (cocoa powder, coconut flour, monkfruit/erythritol, arrowroot starch, xanthan gum, baking soda, salt).
- Add the softened butter and vanilla extract, and mix until a thick dough forms. If desired, mix in the black food coloring until well blended.
- Line an 8×8 or 9×9 inch pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
- Press 1/2–3/4 of the crust into the bottom of the pan. Set the remaining crust aside for later.
Making the Filling
- For the filling, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sweetener, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
- Add the egg and mix until just combined.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the crust in the pan. Crumble the remaining crust over the top and gently press pieces into the filling.
Baking
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and the center is set. If the center looks too soft, turn off the oven and leave it in for another 5 minutes.
Cooling and Serving
- Let it cool on a wire rack for about 20 minutes, then refrigerate until fully chilled (around 1 hour).
- Slice into bars and serve, optionally with a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream.
