I love low carb cookies. I love low carb cheesecake. So what better than to combine them together and use some fathead dough at the same time!!!
I've made a sweet version of the dough, which sounds weird given that it contains so much cheese – but it really does work! I started with a layer of the cookie dough, then a sweet cheesecake layer, and then a layer of “cookies” for texture. All finished with keto-friendly sprinkles!
How to Make Keto Cookie Cheesecake Bars
Make the fat head dough by placing cream cheese and shredded mozzarella into a microwave-safe bowl, and cooking on high power until fully melted and combined. This takes about 3 minutes, but I recommend stirring every 30 seconds or so.
Working quickly, add some fine almond flour, granular sweetener (I use Lakanto), melted butter, egg whites, vanilla extract, and baking powder. Stir, beat, or knead the dough until fully combined.
Separate the dough into a roughly 60/40 ratio, and spread the larger amount onto the base of a baking dish.
In a stand mixer, beat together room temperature cream cheese, sweetener, an egg, and more vanilla extract until smooth.
Spoon the cream cheese mixture into the baking dish and smooth it over the cookie dough. Make small balls with the remaining dough, then flatten them and place them over the cream cheese mixture. It is OK if they overlap slightly.
Bake for 20 minutes or until the top starts to turn golden brown. Add the sprinkles over the top after it has been removed from the oven.
Let cool for one hour, then cut into 12 or 16 portions.
These treats are best served warm, but leftovers can easily be warmed up in the microwave!
