Best !LOW CARB PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE BARS
These dessert bars represent the best of both worlds — part pumpkin pie and part cheesecake, so you can get both flavors in a single bite. They’re perfect for people who consider pumpkin pie to be a bit too strong on the pumpkin flavor (that’s me), as the cheesecake layer helps to offset the pumpkin. The bars have a dense texture with a sturdy almond flour crust on the bottom, a thick and rich cheesecake layer, and a lighter pumpkin layer on the top.
The bars are not too sweet, and are very low in carbs with only 2.5 g net carbs and 230 calories per bar. Even people who are not following any particular diet will love these bars. They store well when covered in the refrigerator and are ideal for snacking throughout the week or for a holiday party during Thanksgiving and Christmas.
