Equipment

Ingredients

Crust

1/2 cup butter softened
1/2 cup granular sweetener erythritol-based
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups almond flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt

Topping

1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup powdered sweetener
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 ounces cream cheese softened
2 cups chopped fresh strawberries

Instructions

Crust

Preheat the oven to 325ºF and grease a 9×9 inch metal pan. Line the pan with a piece of parchment paper with overhanging sides for easy removal. Grease the paper.
In a large bowl, beat the butter with the sweetener until well combined and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla.
All at once, add the almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Beat until the dough comes together.
Spread the batter in the prepared baking pan and bake 20 to 25 minutes, until the center is puffed and the edges are golden brown. It will still be very soft.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the pan.

Topping

In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream with the sweetener and vanilla extract until it holds soft peaks.
Dollop the softened cream cheese around the bowl with the whipped cream. Start beating on slow, then increase speed slowly and beat until it holds stiff peaks.
Spread over the top of the cooled bars, then chill in the fridge for an hour to firm up.
Loosen the bars from the pan and use the sides of the parchment to remove them from the pan. Cut into 16 bars.
Top each of the bars with some of the chopped strawberries before serving.

Notes

Storage Information: Store the bars in a covered container in the fridge for up to a week. They store best if you keep the strawberries separate until ready to serve.
