Ingredients

Scale

For the Almond Crust

1 1/2 cups almond flour
3 tablespoons granulated sugar-free sweetener
5 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt

For the Creamy Filling

8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup powdered sugar-free sweetener
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup cold heavy whipping cream

For the Blueberry Topping

2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
2 tablespoons granulated sugar-free sweetener
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons water

Instructions

Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
Make the crust by mixing the almond flour, granulated sugar-free sweetener, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until evenly combined.
Press the crust firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared dish. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
Make the blueberry topping by combining the blueberries, granulated sugar-free sweetener, lemon juice, cornstarch, and water in a small saucepan.
Cook over medium heat for 5–7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the blueberries soften and the mixture thickens.
Remove the blueberry mixture from the heat and allow it to cool completely. It will thicken further as it cools.
Prepare the filling by beating the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar-free sweetener, and vanilla extract until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until soft peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until light and fluffy. Avoid overmixing.
Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the chilled crust.
Spoon the completely cooled blueberry topping over the filling.
Use a knife or toothpick to gently swirl the blueberry topping into the creamy layer.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, until firmly set.
Lift the chilled dessert from the pan using the parchment paper. Cut into 12 bars and serve chilled.

Notes

Let the blueberry topping cool completely before spreading it over the filling. A warm topping can soften the cream cheese layer.
Press the almond crust firmly into the pan so the bars hold together when sliced.
Powdered sugar-free sweetener gives the filling a smoother texture than granulated sweetener.
For the cleanest slices, chill overnight and wipe the knife between cuts.
Allulose, monk fruit, erythritol blends, or another baking-friendly sugar substitute can be used according to taste and package conversion recommendations.
Fresh or frozen blueberries can be used.
For a berry variation, replace some or all of the blueberries with raspberries, blackberries, or strawberries.
Add 1 teaspoon lemon zest to the filling for extra brightness.
For a dairy-free version, use dairy-free cream cheese and a suitable dairy-free whipping cream.
Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
The bars can be frozen without the blueberry topping for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before adding the topping and serving.
