Ingredients
Method
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides.
- In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sweetener (if using), and melted butter or coconut oil. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes, then let it cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sweetener until smooth.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, cocoa powder, apple cider vinegar, red food coloring, and sea salt until smooth.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust, spreading it evenly.
- In a small bowl, beat together the cream cheese, sweetener, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Drop dollops of the cream cheese mixture over the red velvet filling, then swirl with a toothpick.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, until edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
- Let it cool completely, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Lift the cheesecake out of the pan using the parchment paper and slice into bars.
Notes
Make sure room temperature ingredients are used for a smooth filling. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 5-7 days.
