An almond flour crust holds a soft, sweet layer built from cream cheese, eggs, and melted butter. They need about twenty-five minutes in the oven and come out with a creamy center that sets as it cools.
Perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth without guilt, these bars are easy to make and use common ingredients found in many keto-friendly kitchens.
