Ingredients

Crust:

  • 1 Cup Almond flour
  • 1 Cup Coconut flour
  • 1/2 cup +1 Tbsp Splenda
  • 1/2 cup Coconut oil chilled (but not rock hard)

Filling:

  • 20 oz Fat free cream cheese
  • 1 1/4 Cups Splenda
  • 2 Eggs
  • 3/4 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 12 pieces Mini Almond Joy bars

Topping:

  • 1/2 Cup Unsweetened coconut flakes
  • 1 Tbsp Splenda

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a 9x7 inch pan with parchment or tinfoil.
  • In a medium sized bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour and Splenda.
  • Cut in the chilled coconut oil with your fingers or a pastry blender, until the mixture resembles small peas and all the flour has been mixed in.
  • Press the crust into the pan evenly and bake for 15 minutes, until golden.
  • While the crust bakes, cream together the fat free cream cheese and Splenda until light and airy.
  • Add in the eggs and vanilla and beat until well blended.
  • Chop up the Almond Joy bars and stir into the cheesecake mixture.
  • Pour the filling mixture over top of your warm, baked crust and spread out evenly. Be careful not to spread too hard and cause your crust to lift.
  • Mix the unsweetened coconut with 1 Tbsp of Splenda and sprinkle on top of the bars.
  • Bake for 30-32 minutes until the sides have become golden brown, and the cheesecake feels set.
  • Let cool and refrigerate for at least a few hours to overnight before slicing. (Waiting is the hardest part!)
  • Devour!
