Ingredients
  

For the 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
For the 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 Use the freshest strawberries for best flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F and grease a 9 by 9-inch metal pan. Line the pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter and erythritol-based sweetener until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the large egg and vanilla extract, beating until well combined.
  4. Slowly fold in the almond flour, baking powder, and salt, mixing until a dough forms.
  5. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and bake for about 20 to 25 minutes until the center is puffed and golden.
  6. Let the bars cool completely.
Topping
  1. Beat the heavy cream with the powdered sweetener and half a teaspoon of vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
  2. Gently add in the softened cream cheese and continue to beat until stiff peaks are achieved.
  3. Spread the whipped cream mixture over the cooled bars.
  4. Chill in the fridge for an hour.
Serving
  1. Cut the chilled bars into 16 squares and top each with chopped strawberries before serving.

Notes

Let the bars cool completely before adding the whipped topping to prevent melting. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
