Origins of Low Carb New York Cheesecake Bars:
The origins of New York cheesecake can be traced back to the early 1900s when it became a popular dessert in the Jewish delicatessens of New York City. The recipe was brought to America by Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe, who added their own twist to traditional European-style cheesecakes.
New York cheesecake is known for its rich and creamy texture, which is achieved by using a combination of cream cheese, eggs, and sugar. The crust, typically made from graham crackers, adds a delicious crunch to the dessert.
Best Time to enjoy Low Carb New York Cheesecake Bars:
Low Carb New York Cheesecake Bars can be enjoyed year-round, but they are especially popular during the holiday season. The creamy and indulgent nature of the dessert makes it a perfect treat for festive occasions and family gatherings.
Additionally, the availability of fresh ingredients such as cream cheese and eggs throughout the year makes it easy to whip up this delicious dessert whenever a craving strikes.
Perfect Food Pairings with Low Carb New York Cheesecake Bars:
Low Carb New York Cheesecake Bars pair well with a variety of accompaniments. Here are a few suggestions to enhance your dining experience:
- Top with fresh berries like strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries for a burst of fruity flavor.
- Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for added decadence.
- Pair with a cup of coffee or a glass of dessert wine, such as a sweet Riesling or a creamy Moscato.
If you’re following a low carb or ketogenic diet, consider serving the cheesecake bars with a side of sugar-free whipped cream and a sprinkle of chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
Tips and Tricks to prepare Low Carb New York Cheesecake Bars:
- Make sure all the ingredients, especially the cream cheese and eggs, are at room temperature before starting the recipe. This ensures a smooth and creamy texture.
- For a low carb version, substitute the graham cracker crust with a mixture of almond flour, melted butter, and a sweetener of your choice.
- To prevent cracking, place a pan of water on the bottom rack of the oven while baking. This helps create a moist environment and prevents the cheesecake from drying out.
- If you don’t have a springform pan, you can use a regular baking dish lined with parchment paper. This makes it easier to remove the bars once they are set.

Ingredients
- Almond Flour (1 cup)
- Swerve (2 tablespoon)
- Cinnamon, Ground (⅛ teaspoon)
- Butter (3 tablespoon)
- Cream Cheese, Brick (20 ounce)
- Granular Sugar Replacement by Swerve (½ cup)
- Vanilla Extract (1-½ teaspoon)
- Coconut Flour (1-½ tablespoon)
- Sour Cream (½ cup)
- Raw Egg (2 large)
Instructions
- Preheat an oven to 325 F. Line an 8” x 8” pan with foil and spray with cooking spray. In a small bowl, combine the almond flour, 2 T Swerve, cinnamon and 3 T melted butter until the mixture comes together and is moist. Press into the bottom of the pan in a thin, even layer. Bake for 20 minutes or until the crust is a nice golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly.
- Whilst the crust is baking you can prepare the cheesecake filling. Add the cream cheese, ½ cup of Swerve, vanilla, coconut flour and a pinch of salt to a stand mixer. Beat the ingredients together to combine. The mixture should be smooth and creamy.
- Add the sour cream to the mixer bowl and mix on low speed until well combined. Crack one egg into the mixer bowl and continue to mix on a low speed until well combined. Repeat this process with each egg, until fully incorporated into the cheesecake filling.
- Pour the cheesecake batter into the baked crust. Return to the oven and bake for 35 minutes or until the center is barely set. Allow to cool at room temperature before placing in the fridge. Allow to chill completely in fridge before slicing into 16 squares.
