Triple Chocolate Cheesecake Bars

Ingredients

For the Chocolate Crust

• 5 tbsp butter, melted

• 1 ¼ cup almond flour

• 2 tbsp cocoa powder

• 2 tbsp powdered sweetener (allulose or monkfruit recommended for no aftertaste)

For the Chocolate Cheesecake Filling

• 8 oz reduced-fat cream cheese (room temperature)

• ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt

• 1 large egg, room temperature

• ½ cup powdered sweetener

• ⅓ cup cocoa powder

• 1 tbsp vanilla extract

For the Ganache

• ¾ cup 70–85% dark chocolate (instead of 1 cup to reduce calories, use stevia-sweetened if desired)

• ¾ cup heavy cream

Instructions

1. Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper.

2. Make the crust: Mix almond flour, cocoa, sweetener, and melted butter until crumbly but moist. Press evenly into the pan. Bake 8–10 minutes. Cool completely.

3. Cheesecake layer: Beat cream cheese, Greek yogurt, and egg until smooth. Add sweetener, cocoa powder, and vanilla; beat until creamy. Spread over cooled crust. Bake ~30 minutes until set in the center. Cool completely.

4. Ganache: Warm cream (and almond milk if using) to a simmer. Pour over chopped dark chocolate. Let sit 1 minute, then whisk until silky.

5. Finish: Spread ganache over cooled cheesecake. Chill at least 3 hours before slicing into bars.
