Keto Candy Cane Cheesecake Bars
Keto Candy Cane Cheesecake Bars
This week we are starting a short series of holiday recipes just before Christmas and we kick it off with a simple recipe for Keto Candy Cane Cheesecake Bars. This recipe can go two ways: 1) You could make a no bake version by excluding the crust or 2) Or by including the crust you add another flavor element with the crust. We opted to go with the almond flour crust.
We’ve actually made this twice since shooting the video for YouTube, the second time was for a office event for C.J., and the dish was a big hit even with “Carbies.” We topped it with sugar free candy cane bits, but that is totally optional. We also figured out that using a tooth pick or other thin type object for the swirl part works a bit better than the knife. Anyway as with any recipe, use it as a starting point and feel free to experiment. This turned out to be a very cool and refreshing after dinner dessert–ENJOY!
