Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 8 ounce cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup raspberries
  • 2 tablespoon granulated sugar
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Cream together the butter and sugar . Add the coconut, coconut flour, and baking powder, mixing until they are thoroughly combined. Press the mixture into a lightly greased 9 by 9-inch pan and set it aside.
  3. Beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth. Add the egg and the vanilla extract and mix them until thoroughly combined. Pour the mixture over the set aside crust. In a small bowl, mash the raspberries and the sugar substitute together with a fork. Drop this mixture by spoonfuls over the cheesecake mixture and then swirl it gently with a fork until it's distributed over the entire top – being careful not to overmix. Bake the cheesecake in the oven for 25 minutes. Remove and chill before cutting into bars and serving.
