How to Make Cheesecake Keto

Traditional no-bake cheesecake is often prepared with a filling of cream cheese and heavy cream, with the addition of sugar and your desired flavorings. This makes cheesecake filling very easy to adapt to being Keto compliant simply by switching the sugar for a low carb sweetener and adding your preferred Keto-friendly flavorings. The base however, is where you need to get a little creative! Typically made from crushed wheat-based crackers, a regular cheesecake base is a Keto no-no. Our Keto cheesecake however, uses ground almonds and crushed pecans, combined with healthful fats to create a crumb consistency. This is then baked until golden and crunchy, creating the perfect low carb alternative.

Do I Need to Bake My Cheesecake?

This Keto dessert recipe does not require any baking of the filling. Once prepared, the filling simply requires setting time in the fridge to firm. If you would like to go for a completely bake free Keto dessert, you can also skip the process of cooking the base. Simply prepare the recipe as directed, placing the base in the fridge to set and firm before adding your creamy filling layer. Be sure to adjust your macros to account for any changes you may make to the recipe.
