  • 1/4 teaspoon salt Enhances flavor.
For the filling
  • 2 cups cream cheese, softened Ensure it is at room temperature for blending.

  • 2 large eggs Room temperature eggs mix better.
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice For a bright citrus flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest Adds aromatic flavor.
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries Gently fold in to maintain their shape.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, combine almond flour, melted coconut oil, sugar-free sweetener, and salt until the mixture resembles damp sand.
  3. Press the crust mixture firmly into the lined pan.
Making the Filling
  1. In a separate bowl, beat softened cream cheese with sugar-free sweetener until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add eggs one at a time, mixing just until fully incorporated, then mix in lemon juice and lemon zest until uniform.
  3. Gently fold in fresh blueberries.
Baking and Cooling
  1. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the pressed crust and spread evenly.
  2. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the center is set.
  3. Let the bars cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing.
Serving
  1. Lift the bars out using the parchment overhang, slice into bars, and serve chilled.

Notes

For the cleanest slices, ensure thorough chilling. Use a steady, straight-down cut instead of sawing.
