These Skinny Coconut Cheesecake Bars are a guilt-free dessert made with reduced-fat ingredients, perfect for those who want to indulge without the extra calories. Creamy, coconut-flavored cheesecake on a crisp, low-calorie crust—each bite is a healthy yet satisfying treat.

Ingredients

  • For the Crust:
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 2 tbsp coconut flour
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 2 tbsp butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • Pinch of salt
  • For the Filling:
  • 16 oz (2 cups) light cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/4 tsp coconut extract (optional)
  • For the Topping:
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Prepare the crust: Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). In a bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, shredded coconut, melted butter, honey, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until it forms a crumbly dough. Press this mixture into the bottom of a greased 9×9-inch baking dish to form an even crust. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown. Set aside to cool.
  • Make the filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and Greek yogurt until smooth. Add honey (or maple syrup), eggs, vanilla extract, and coconut extract (if using). Mix until everything is combined and smooth. Fold in shredded coconut.
  • Assemble the cheesecake bars: Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust and spread it out evenly. Bake at 325°F (163°C) for 18-20 minutes, or until the center is just set and the top is lightly golden.
  • Cool and chill: Remove from the oven and let cool completely. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight to allow the cheesecake bars to firm up.
  • Garnish and serve: Before serving, sprinkle with shredded coconut for a final touch.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, use coconut yogurt and a dairy-free cream cheese alternative.
  • Feel free to adjust the level of sweetness to your taste, adding more honey or maple syrup if desired.
  • These bars can be frozen for longer storage—simply thaw them before serving.
