Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Make the crust:
- In a bowl, combine almond flour, cocoa powder, erythritol, baking powder, and salt.
- Stir in the melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Bake for about 10 minutes, then remove and let it cool slightly.
- Prepare the cheesecake filling:
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
- Add erythritol, eggs, vanilla extract, and lemon juice (if using). Mix until well combined and creamy.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the crust, spreading it evenly.
- Bake:
- Return the pan to the oven and bake for another 25-30 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set and the edges are lightly golden.
- Make the topping:
- In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, cinnamon, and erythritol.
- Brush this mixture over the warm cheesecake bars.
- Cool and serve:
- Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before slicing. For best results, refrigerate for a couple of hours to set before cutting into squares.
