I’m not even sure how to begin to tell you how amazing these keto friendly Cranberry Bliss Bars taste! They are sweet, creamy, and tart all at the same time! They are also easy to make, and make for great last minute homemade Christmas gifts. If you love Starbucks Cranberry Bliss bars but want to live a keto lifestyle, give these a try!
Making Sugar Free Cranberry Bliss Bars
Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and line a 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper.
Beat together the melted butter, cream cheese, and brown Swerve using an electric mixer. Add in the egg, vanilla, and orange extract and beat until well mixed.
Next whisk together the baking powder, salt, almond flour, and coconut flour in a small mixing bowl. Slowly add in the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, beating constantly until just blended.
Now fold in the white chocolate chips and dried cranberries. Spread the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a rubber spatula. Bake for 22-25 minutes until golden brown at the edges (the bars will set more as they cool). Remove from the oven and place the baking dish on a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cranberry bliss bars are completely cool, you can start to make the frosting. Make sure your cream cheese is softened or it will be lumpy.
To make the frosting, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered Swerve together with an electric mixer until smooth. Add in the vanilla, and mix well.
In a smaller bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and coconut oil. Place the bowl in the microwave for 45 seconds. Take out and stir together until smooth.
Pour half of the melted white chocolate into the cream cheese frosting and beat together with the electric mixer until smooth.
Frost the cooled bars with the cream cheese frosting. Sprinkle evenly with the remaining dried cranberries. Finally, use a fork to drizzle the remaining white chocolate over the top to create streaks with the chocolate.
Let the bars set for about 20 minutes before cutting into 16 triangles to resemble Starbucks Cranberry Bliss bars. Yummy!
