I found a recipe for Red Velvet Cheesecake Bars on Pinterest and me being on a low carb lifestyle I decided I had to make these bars! So, I made a few ingredients carb friendly and here you are! These bars are amazing, they combine two of my fave desserts! And, you can't even tell they are low carb/ low sugar! ENJOY! Ingredients:
1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted) |
1 cup sugar substitute (i used z-sweet all natural sweetener, can be found at whole foods.) |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/4 cup cocoa powder |
1 pinch salt |
1 tablespoon red food coloring |
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar |
3/4 cup almond flour (you can use another low carb substitute) |
2 eggs |
8 ounces cream cheese |
1/4 sugar substitute |
1 egg |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 8 X 8 inch pan.
2. Red Velvet: Add melted butter to a large bowl and add sugar substitute, vanilla, cocoa powder, salt, food coloring, and vinegar, mixing after each addition. Whisk the eggs into cocoa mix. Mix flour until lightly combined. Pour batter into prepared pan leaving 1/3 cup left for top of bars.
3. Cream Cheese: Blend together cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla in a medium mixing bowl. Spread the cream cheese on top of red velvet layer in pan.
