These keto raspberry cheesecake bars are the perfect marriage of tangy fruit and creamy goodness.

Cheesecake has been a crowd-pleaser for centuries, with its rich, creamy texture and decadent flavor. If you’re on the keto diet or even just watching your carb intake, you’ll be happy to know that it’s still possible to enjoy this classic dessert without sacrificing your health and wellness goals.

Hear me out – while cheesecake may not seem like the healthiest low carb dessert option out there, it does contain calcium, protein, and healthy fats when made with the right ingredients.

And unlike traditional cheesecake recipes that use graham crackers and sugar, this low carb raspberry cheesecake is made with keto-friendly ingredients that won’t spike your blood sugar levels.

Plus, raspberries are a great source of antioxidants and fiber, making them a healthy addition to this dessert – it’s a win/win for sure!

Interesting facts about cheesecake:

  • Cheesecake dates back to Ancient Greece, where it was served to athletes to give them energy during the first Olympic games in 776 BC.
  • In the United States, National Cheesecake Day is celebrated on July 30th.
  • The largest cheesecake ever made weighed over 6,900 pounds and was created in New York in 2014.

There – now you can impress your friends with cheesecake trivia when you serve them these keto raspberry cheesecake bars. 🙌🏻 😂

These keto raspberry cheesecake bars can be made into a larger cheesecake but I don’t recommend it. While a giant cheesecake is impressive, it’s not always the most practical option. By making these keto raspberry cheesecake bars instead, you can have the same delicious flavor without worrying about portion control or overindulging.

They also cook and chill a lot faster than a full scale cheesecake, AND they’re easier to serve and store for later.

If you do need a larger keto cheesecake, try this Keto Raspberry Cheesecake with Coconut Crust that was a guest post from Divalicious Recipes and gets rave reviews by everyone who tries it!
