The image shows several square dessert bars stacked on top of each other on a white plate. Each bar has three layers: a bottom crust layer that is light brown and crumbly, a middle layer of dark red jam or fruit filling, and a top creamy white frosting layer decorated with colorful sprinkles in red, yellow, blue, and white. A fresh strawberry sits beside the bars on the plate, which rests on a white marbled surface. The focus is on the texture of the bars and colorful sprinkles, with soft natural lighting.

Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups almond flour
  • ⅓ cup erythritol sweetener
  • 2 tablespoons coconut flour
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup butter (melted)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup sugar free raspberry jam
  • ⅔ cup Swerve Confectioners
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
  • 2 teaspoons keto sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350ºF and line an 8×8 inch metal baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhanging edges for easy removal.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, erythritol sweetener, coconut flour, and salt. Stir in the melted butter and vanilla extract until the dough begins to clump together.
  3. Step 3: Press a little over half of the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
  4. Step 4: Spread the sugar-free raspberry jam over the cooled crust. Then sprinkle the remaining dough evenly over the jam and press lightly with your hands to level the top layer.
  5. Step 5: Bake the bars for another 20 to 25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool completely, then refrigerate for 1 hour to firm up.
  6. Step 6: In a medium bowl, whisk the Swerve Confectioners with 2 tablespoons of heavy cream, adding more cream if needed to achieve a smooth glaze.
  7. Step 7: Spread the glaze over the chilled bars and sprinkle with keto sprinkles. Return to the fridge for about 30 minutes to let the glaze set. Use the parchment paper edges to lift the bars from the pan and cut into 16 squares.

Tips & Variations

  • Swap the raspberry jam for other sugar-free flavors like strawberry or blueberry to change up the taste.
  • Use a different low-carb sweetener if you prefer, such as monk fruit or allulose, adjusting to your taste.
  • For a fun twist, add chopped nuts or seeds to the crust mixture for extra texture.

Storage

Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. They can also be frozen for up to one month; thaw in the fridge before serving. Reheat briefly in the microwave for a warm treat, if desired.

How to Serve

The image shows a close-up of a rectangular tray of small square dessert bars, arranged in a grid. Each bar has three visible layers: the bottom layer is a light golden crumbly crust, the middle layer is a pinkish strawberry jam filling, and the top layer is a smooth white icing decorated with colorful sprinkles in red, yellow, blue, and pink. One square bar is lifted slightly to reveal its layers more clearly, with a woman's hand holding it. In the background, some strawberries are scattered on a white marbled surface. The bars are presented on a sheet of brown parchment paper. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use regular jam instead of sugar-free jam?

While regular jam can be used, it will increase the sugar and carb content, which may not fit the keto diet. Opting for sugar-free jam keeps these bars low in carbs.

What if I don’t have almond flour?

Almond flour is crucial for the texture and flavor of these bars. Using other flours may change the consistency and carb count, but coconut flour could be tried with careful adjustment to quantities.

  • For a different twist, try using a blend of different berries or keto-approved fillings.
  • If you prefer a thinner glaze, add extra heavy cream or a splash of water gradually until you reach the desired consistency.
  • Store leftover bars in the refrigerator to keep them firm and fresh.
  • Make sure almond flour is finely ground for the best texture of the crust.
