Description
The magic of this dessert is found in the perfect marriage of a sturdy crust and a light, airy filling. It’s the textural and flavor contrast that makes the No-Bake Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake Bars so universally loved.
Ingredients
For the Berry Filling:
3 cups mixed berries (fresh or frozen — blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries)
2–3 tbsp granular erythritol or monk fruit sweetener (adjust to taste)
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp xanthan gum (optional, thickens filling)
For the Almond Flour Crust:
1½ cups almond flour
¼ cup granular or powdered erythritol
1 tsp baking powder
Pinch of salt
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
1 large egg
½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Preheat & Prep
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or oven-safe skillet.
2. Make the Berry Filling
In a medium bowl, combine berries, sweetener, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla, and xanthan gum.
Toss gently until evenly coated.
Pour mixture into the prepared baking dish.
3. Make the Almond Flour Crust
In another bowl, whisk together almond flour, sweetener, baking powder, and salt.
Add melted butter, egg, and vanilla.
Stir until a thick, slightly sticky dough forms.
4. Assemble & Bake
Drop spoonfuls of the dough over the berries (it doesn’t have to cover completely — rustic is perfect).
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the berry juices are bubbling around the edges.
5. Serve
Let cool for 10–15 minutes before serving (it thickens as it rests).
Serve warm — optionally with a spoonful of sugar-free whipped cream or keto vanilla ice cream.
Notes
These No-Bake Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake Bars are creamy, spiced to perfection, and wonderfully easy to make — ideal for fall gatherings, Halloween treats, or Thanksgiving desserts. Serve chilled with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a drizzle of caramel for an extra touch of indulgence.
