Recipe Notes
I mentioned that this recipe for keto brownies is made with almond flour. Make sure that you are using a blanched almond flour rather than almond meal for best results and texture.
Also mentioned, these cheesecake bars taste great with a topping.
Top these cheesecake bars with homemade sugar free homemade whipped cream that you can make using this recipe. r, you could dust your cheesecake with sugar free powdered sugar instead.
