- In a bowl, mix almond flour, sweetener, melted butter, vanilla, and a pinch of salt until it feels like wet sand.
- Press the crust mixture into a parchment-lined loaf pan and chill in the fridge.
- Blend the cottage cheese in a food processor or blender until completely smooth.
- Add cream cheese, sweetener, lemon juice, lemon zest, poppy seeds, and vanilla. Blend again until creamy.
- In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over water. Let it sit 5 minutes, then microwave for 10-15 seconds to melt. Stir until smooth.
- Add the gelatin to the blended mixture and pulse again to combine.
- Pour the filling over the crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight until fully set.
- Slice into 12 bars and enjoy!
Notes
Use full-fat cottage cheese and cream cheese to help the bars firm up properly. If your bars are too soft, check your gelatin measurement or chill time. For a citrusy boost, top with my Keto Lemon Curd. Blend the cottage cheese very smooth for the best creamy texture. Bars slice best when fully chilled and stored in the fridge overnight. Can be frozen for up to 1 month - wrap individually for easy grab-and-go treats.
