How to Make Keto Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Bars

Next, whip together the cream cheese, sweetener, egg, and vanilla until smooth. Gently fold in the chocolate chips. Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the baked crust.
Return the pan to the oven and bake for another 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
