For the Crust: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8x8 pan with foil or parchment paper. Combine the melted butter, almond flour and sweetener in a small bowl and press into the lined pan.
Pre-bake crust for 8 minutes, it should not be firm just slightly beginning to brown around the edges.
Remove crust and allow it to cool completely.
For the Vanilla Cheesecake Layer: Using an electric mixer or small blender combine the cream cheese, egg yolk, sweetener and vanilla extract until smooth.
Spread the cheesecake layer evenly over the cooled crust.
For the Strawberry Layer: Spread the prepared low carb strawberry sauce over the cheesecake mixture.
For the Pecan Crumble: Combine the cold butter, almond flour, pecans and sweetener in a small blender or food processor and pulse until it resembles a crumb like mixture. Sprinkle over the berry layer.
Bake 22-26 minutes until the top is lightly browned and the bars have set.
