Desserts don’t need to be forbidden on Fast Days (FDs). Join Susie T. as she shares delicious and satisfying FD Blackberry Cheesecake Bars for only 43-116 calories per serving. Perfect Fast Days Healing Days food!
Fast Day Blackberry Cheesecake Bars give you a bit of something sweet to end your fast on a bright and light note.
We don’t often spend more than 10 calories for a dessert on Fast Days (FDs). Can you say, “Sugar free gelatin is my friend?” Course you can! By spending dessert calories on filling protein-rich and veggie-rich foods, with a bit of healthy, delicious fat, we get better appetite control and a greater sense of satisfaction. Less hunger=Happy Susie T! Right? But some days, having a dessert can make or break your FD resolution. The heart wants what it wants. And in those times, it pays to come prepared for the game.
Creamy on top and cake-like on the bottom. These FD Blackberry Cheesecake Bars taste lemon-y and like fresh berries.
Yesterday was just such a time at the FDHD abode. It was Super Bowl Sunday and I fell deeply “in like” with a photo I saw on the FluffyChixCook Tumblr site. The Blackberry Cheesecake Bars had my number and I knew with every ounce of my being they would be mine that eve! Cuz, come on. It was Super Bowl time! I knew it would be easy to make them low carb, keto-friendly–but could I make them Fast Day (FD)-friendly, too? Hmmmm. my mind started flying.
So I whipped up these little babies and they were freakin’ fantastic. Not only did they work yesterday (a non-fasting day), but with proper portioning, they will fit perfectly into today’s Fast Day (FD) meal plan. Without any deprivation. So the next time you’re looking for a super low cal/low carb dessert to help you through your Fast Day longings, remember the Blackberry Cheesecake Bars and don’t forget to share the recipe, and Fast Days Healing Days website, with your friends on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest! kthanx…

Notes
We don't generally eat a lot of desserts on Fast Day (FDs). If we do, it's usually a near-zero gelatin or a piece of fruit with a spoon of vanilla yogurt or something like that. But we made these Blackberry Cheesecake Bars for Super Bowl Sunday and they worked out great! They're now happily in the freezer for another day.
Serving Ideas Serve with a large, hot cup of tea or black coffee.

Ingredients
Dry Ingredients (Bottom Crust)
- 1/4 cup coconut flour (Bob's Red Mill)
- 1/4 cup oat fiber
- 2 tablespoons King Arthur - Multi-Purpose Gluten Free Bake Mix—or almond meal
- 2 tablespoons pork rind crumbs—or flax/chia meal
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Wet Ingredients Bottom Crust
- 1/2 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup All Whites Egg Whites
- 1/3 cup So Delicious Unsweetened Vanilla Coconut Milk
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar, custom
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup sugar equivalent (liquid preferred)
Cheesecake Layer
- 6 ounces blackberries
- 8 ounces fat free cream cheese, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons sugar free vanilla syrup
- 1/2 cup vanilla flavored stevia drops—to your taste preference (liquid preferred)
Instructions
- For Bottom Crust: Preheat oven to 350°. Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl. Stir to combine. In a separate bowl, mix wet ingredients for the bottom layer. Add dry ingredients to wet and stir until creamy and smooth. Pour batter into a parchment-lined 9x9 baking dish. (We like glass or Pyrex baking dishes.) Add blackberries in a single layer, on top of the batter.
- Make Cheesecake Layer: With an electric mixer, beat cream cheese until light and fluffy. Add egg and beat until incorporated. Add remaining ingredients and beat until smooth and lump-free. Scrape sides of bowl and beaters a couple of times to ensure all lumps are gone. Pour batter over the bottom and blackberry layers. Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes until puffy and it has only the slightest wiggle in the middle. Remove from the oven onto a wire rack. Cool completely, then cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight. It's better the next day!
- Cut into portions and enjoy. Portion and freeze for convenient FD desserts as your FD budget allows!
