These Keto Raspberry Cheesecake Bars are going to be your new favorite keto dessert! They are a keto, low-carb, grain-free, gluten-free treat made to share with family and friends.
Healthy Keto Raspberry Cheesecake Bars
These Keto Raspberry Cheesecake Bars are so filling that you won't feel the need to scarf down a dozen - but they taste amazing, so you may want seconds!
Thanks to grass-fed butter, sour cream, and cream cheese, these cheesecake bars are full of healthy fats, which make them the perfect keto treat.
Dessert on Keto
Although the keto diet prohibits sugar, you can still enjoy upgraded versions of your favorite desserts.
With just a few simple swaps, you can turn a carb-loaded dessert into a fat and protein-filled treat that will keep you satisfied and won't send you on the "glu-coaster".
The desserts that you typically find in a grocery store are loaded with sugar, highly processed additives, and practically no nutritional value at all.

Keto Raspberry Cheesecake Bars Ingredient Swaps
With just a few simple swaps, you can turn any dessert into a delicious keto one!
For these bars, here are the swaps we made.
- Swap #1: Swap white flour for almond flour! It adds more nutrients and healthy fats, which and makes the dessert more filling with less carbs.
- Swap #2: Swap sugar for erythritol! It's a staple for keto desserts and recipes.
- Swap #3: Swap brown sugar for Sukrin Gold! If you are unfamiliar with Sukrin Gold, it is a brown sugar substitute made from erythritol and stevia. It really does have the warmth and texture of brown sugar that you just can't get from regular erythritol.
Can You Have Fruits on Keto?
Fruit on the ketogenic diet can be tricky. Some people think you must eliminate fruit completely, while others (like us) believe that certain low-carb fruits can be included in moderation as part of a healthy keto diet.
When looking at fruit, pay attention to the net carb count (total carbs minus fiber).
Here are our CKL-approved fruits:
- Lemons and Limes:4 grams net carbs/fruit
- Blackberries:6 grams net carbs/cup
- Raspberries:7 grams net carbs/cup
- Strawberries:8 grams net carbs/cup
- Blueberries: 9 grams net carbs/half cup
This recipe uses fresh raspberries, which are packed with antioxidants and essential nutrients.
Raspberries contain high levels of Vitamin C, Vitamin K, and manganese, so this dessert has better nutrition profile than a store-bought raspberry pastry (that uses sugary raspberry preserves instead of the actual berry).
What Equipment You Need
- Mixing bowls
- Measuring cups
- Hand mixer
- Baking dish
- Parchment paper
- Saucepan
Let's Get Cooking
First, you will be making 4 layers for these Keto Bars.
- Almond Layer: Made with melted butter, granular erythritol, eggs, almond extract, and almond flour.
- Cheesecake Layer: Made with softened cream cheese, sour cream, eggs, vanilla extract, and granular erythritol.
- Raspberry Layer: Made with just raspberries.
- Crumble Layer: Made with almond flour, a brown sugar substitute (such as Sukrin Gold), and butter.
All you need to do is to prepare each layer into four separate bowls like we did below.
Assemble the Keto Bars
Next, line a 7 x 11" inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Pour in the almond layer first and spread out evenly across the baking pan.
Dollop the cream cheese layer on top of the almond layer. Use a spatula to gently smooth the cream cheese mixture over the almond layer without getting the two mixed together.
Carefully, spoon the raspberry sauce on top of the cream cheese layer and sprinkle the crumbles over top.
Make sure to just gently sprinkle the crumble layer over top. You don't want the crumbles to mix into the other layers.
It should look like the picture below.
Bake at 325°F for 45-60 minutes or until the edges start to brown and center is cooked through.
Let the Keto Raspberry Cheesecake Bars cool for 45 minutes to an hour before cutting them into squares.
We know that is a long to time to wait for these delicious keto bars - but trust us, the wait is worth it!!
Also, we won't judge (or blame you) if you take a small bite off the corner while you wait!
