Last night my cousin came over for a swim and I accidentally made the most delicious keto cheesecake bars to serve up for dessert.
I was quickly throwing ingredients together, with no idea of how it would turn out.
O.M.G...we couldn’t believe how delicious it tasted!
There isn’t ANY sugar and only a few carbs per lip-smacking dessert bar so there’s nothing to feel guilty about. And of course, you know I used my favorite TRULEAN protein powder in the recipe :)

2 cups Raw Pecans
½ teaspoon sea salt
¼ cup Swerve Confectioners Style
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup coconut oil, melted
16 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
½ cup granular Swerve
¼ cup Swerve Confectioners Style
2 limes, zested and juice
¼ cup TEREMANA tequila
2 tablespoons Cointreau
2 tablespoons cream (coconut or dairy)
2 eggs, at room temperature
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a 9x9 pan with parchment paper
Toast the pecans in a dry skillet over medium-low heat. Cool slightly. Transfer to a food processor and pulse into a fine powder.
Add the remaining crust ingredients to the food processor. Pulse until fully combined and crumbly. Press into the bottom of the prepared pan.
Beat the cream cheese and swerve together until light and fluffy. Add in the lime juice and zest, Teremana, Cointreau and coconut cream. Mix until fully combined. Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition.
Pour the cheesecake mixture over the crust and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. Cool completely, then place in the fridge to chill for 3 hours before cutting into bars. Garnish with thinly sliced lime and enjoy with a margarita!
I hope you give this insane dessert a try! Store the leftovers in the freezer - it keeps for a few weeks and is really refreshing when enjoyed frozen.
