Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a bit of an overhang on the sides to help with easy removal later.
2. Prepare the Crust:
   • In a medium bowl, mix together the almond flour, erythritol, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
   • Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form an even layer.
3. Bake the Crust:
   • Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until the crust is golden. Remove from the oven and set aside.
4. Prepare the Filling:
   • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
   • Add the sour cream, erythritol, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat until well combined and smooth.
   • Gently fold in the blueberries.
5. Assemble and Bake:
   • Pour the cheesecake filling over the pre-baked crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
   • Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are lightly golden.
6. Cool and Chill:
   • Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
   • Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully chilled and firm.
7. Optional Topping:
   • If using, mix the fresh blueberries with the powdered erythritol and sprinkle over the bars before serving.
8. Serve:
   • Lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and cut into squares. Enjoy!
