No Bake Keto Churro Cheesecake Bars Recipe

I love making No Bake Keto Churro Cheesecake Bars because they blend the irresistible flavors of a classic churro with a smooth, tangy cheesecake. Every bite surprises my palate with creamy texture and a hint of cinnamon spice. Sharing these bars with my family always turns an ordinary day into a memorable celebration.

I recently stumbled upon a recipe that was too good not to try, so I whipped up my No Bake Keto Churro Cheesecake Bars. I was floored by how the flavors came together perfectly.

Using a base of almond flour, unsalted butter, a bit of powdered erythritol and a pinch of salt, I managed to create a crunchy yet tender crumb that holds up nicely. The filling is what really blew me away – softened cream cheese, full fat sour cream, powdered erythritol and vanilla extract blend together to form a rich and creamy layer that’s both tangy and sweet.

A little heavy whipping cream makes it extra smooth. I finished it off with a topping where melted butter, powdered erythritol and ground cinnamon deliver that iconic churro feel in every bite.

This recipe is a fun twist on classic desserts and a must-try for anyone looking to mix up their keto dessert game.

Why I Like this Recipe

I really like this recipe because it mixes the rich cheesecake flavor with a cool, low-carb twist that makes me feel like I’m treating myself without the guilt. I also appreciate how the almond flour crust gives a nutty crunch that kinda holds everything together even though it’s a no bake dessert, which is perfect when I don’t have a ton of time. The creamy filling, loaded with cream cheese and sour cream, is super smooth and just melts in my mouth, reminding me of comfort food on a hard day. And honestly, that cinnamon sugar topping totally nails the churro flavor I crave, making every bite a little burst of sweetness and spice.

FAQ

No Bake Keto Churro Cheesecake Bars Recipe Substitutions and Variations

• Almond flour: you can try substituting with coconut flour but use less because it’s more absorbent
• Unsalted butter: if you’re out of it, melted coconut oil works pretty well and gives a slight tropical vibe
• Powdered erythritol: you could swap with Swerve confectioners sugar if you’re looking for the same texture in a low-carb way
• Full fat sour cream: Greek yogurt (full fat) can be used instead, though it adds a bit more tang
• Heavy whipping cream: full fat coconut milk is a decent alternative in a pinch, just chill it first so it thickens a bit

Pro Tips

1. Try using parchment paper in your pan so the crust doesnt stick, and be sure to press it in real firm so it holds together – a chunky base will make the whole thing fall apart.

2. Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature before you mix it, because if its too cold itll create lumps in your creamy layer which can really ruin the texture.

3. When you fold in the heavy cream into the cream cheese mixture, do it slowly so you dont end up with a runny filling – this little step really helps you maintain that light smooth texture.

4. Actually, if you can wait longer than 4 hours in the fridge, even overnight is fine, because giving the bars plenty of time to set really brings out the flavors and improves the overall texture.
