You may be wondering what are the benefits of eating pecans.

Personally, I love the taste of pecans.
Even better, pecans during that holiday baking season have little competition for me.

However, there are some benefits associated with eating pecans.
Like most nuts, pecans are a low carb high fiber source of food.
Pecans are also a decent source for magnesium, potassium, protein, and monounsaturated fat.

Here are some tips for making sugar free pecan cheesecake bars keto and low in carbs.

I like to line my baking dish with parchment paper that overhangs the sides of the baking dish. This allows for for easy transferring when I cut the bars.

Here are some more helpful tips for you.

1. While this recipe calls for pecans, you could use another nut in addition to or instead of the pecans. Hazelnuts or walnuts are good choices.
2. The cream cheese used in this recipe should be softened at room temperature. This is done to insure that there are no added lumps to the cheesecake.
3. The cooling step for these cheesecake bars is a bit different from other recipes. Instead of transferring the cheesecake bars to your countertop to cool, turn the oven off and and prop the oven door slightly open.

 

How to store sugar free cheesecake bars.

These cheesecake bars should last about five days stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. You can also freeze these bars for up to a couple of months.
