How To Make Low Carb Cookie Cheesecake Bars

If you’re new to making low carb desserts or you’ve never made a cookie cheesecake bar, no worries. It’s really easy!

These chocolate chip cheesecake cookie bars are made in two layers, but baked together. First you make your cookie dough and then you make your cheesecake batter.

Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Cookie Bar Crust 

Be sure to use softened butter, not melted, to cream your butter and low carb brown sugar. This helps give your low carb chocolate chip cookies that authentic cookie texture.

You can use a homemade sugar free brown sugar substitute or purchase one. It really boosts the flavor have that smoky, sweet hint of molasses in your recipe and it makes your cookie crust just a tad more chewy (also known as “just right”!).

Making the crust, or bottom layer, of your healthy dessert is super easy because you’ll use Trim Healthy Mama baking blend (if you don’t have any, check out the tips section in the low carb chocolate chip cookie bars recipe). 

Add in the egg and egg yolk (that extra yolk also helps it be chewier and gooier instead of crispy and crumbly!) until you have your dough ready. Press into the bottom of your 8×8 baking dish.

Low Carb Cheesecake Top Layer

The sugar free cheesecake part of this healthy dessert is also easier than you might expect to mix together. Simply whip room temperature cream cheese, THM Gentle Sweet, eggs, and vanilla extract together. If you need an alcohol free extract, here’s a great homemade AIP Vanilla recipe.

After you stir in your chocolate chips, pour your low carb cheesecake layer over your sugar free chocolate chip cookie crust.

Bake in a preheated oven and let it cool completely before you cut it to serve. You’ll know it’s done baking when the edges are firmly set, although the middle might still be a tad jiggly.

Serving & Storing Healthy Chocolate Chip Cookie Cheesecake Bars

To serve these, you’ll wait until they are completely cool to cut them and put them on a tray. Cover them with plastic wrap and keep them refrigerated (if you’re not eating eating them as soon as they cool).

When you’re ready to serve them, simply place the bars on a plate! This recipes makes nine good sized low carb chocolate chip cheesecake cookie bars and is easy to double if you’re making for a crowd.

Be sure to store them in the fridge, covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container. They’ll last several days (up to a week) that way, although they are best when eaten within a few days.

Once you see how delicious and easy these are to make, you’re sure to want more sugar free cheesecake treats to enjoy.
