Ingredients You’ll Need
For the Keto Oreo Crust:
- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- ¼ cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- ¼ cup powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
- ¼ cup butter, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- ⅓ cup powdered erythritol
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp sour cream (adds smoothness)
For the Oreo-Inspired Crumbles:
- Optional: use a few crumbled keto chocolate cookies or set aside some crust mixture before baking for sprinkling on top.
Instruction
Step 1: Prepare the Crust
Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). In a bowl, mix almond flour, cocoa powder, sweetener, salt, vanilla, and melted butter. Stir until it forms a thick, crumbly dough. Press the mixture evenly into a parchment-lined 8×8 baking pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool slightly.
Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Layer
In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sweetener until smooth and fluffy. Add egg, vanilla, and sour cream, and beat until creamy with no lumps. Pour the cheesecake batter over the cooled crust and smooth the top.
Step 3: Add Crumbles (Optional)
Crumble a small amount of reserved crust mix or keto cookies over the top of the cheesecake layer to mimic Oreo cookie bits.
Step 4: Bake and Chill
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. Allow to cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours (overnight is best) to set fully.
Step 5: Slice and Serve
Cut into 9–12 bars and serve chilled. Enjoy that rich, Oreo-like flavor with zero guilt!
Optional Variations
- Nut-free version: Use sunflower seed flour instead of almond flour.
- Dairy-free: Swap cream cheese with a dairy-free alternative and use coconut cream instead of sour cream.
- Chocolate swirl: Add melted keto chocolate to part of the cheesecake batter for a marbled look.
Storage Tips
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. These bars also freeze beautifully—just wrap individually and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge before serving.
