Keto Carrot Cake Cheesecake

This Keto carrot cake cheesecake has a deliciously rich and creamy filling infused with fresh orange juice. The orange cream cheese filling sits on a toasted low carb biscuit base, rich with warming spices and classic carrot cake flavors. The cheesecake requires minimal baking and is simply set in the fridge until chilled and firmed. This makes a great Keto dessert, perfect for sharing with friends and family.

Are Carrots Keto?

Carrots are generally not considered appropriate on a Keto diet. However, they may be used in very sparing quantities to flavor low carb dishes without having any great impact on the carb count. For this Keto cheesecake, we have used one small grated carrot in our biscuit base. This equates to roughly 1 tablespoon of grated carrot, which is then divided between 8 servings of cheesecake. This is just enough to provide the flavor without the concern of the carbs. If you would rather not use the carrot, it can simply be omitted. Please be sure to adjust your macros to account for any changes made to the original recipe.

Do I Have to Bake the Cheesecake?

Our cheesecake has a baked crust of ground almonds, walnuts, spices, carrot, and Keto friendly fats. Baking the base adds a great crunch and toasted flavor. The top of the cheesecake, however, does not require baking and simply needs to set in the fridge. If you prefer an entirely bake free dessert, you can make the recipe as directed, and simply set the base in the fridge to firm as opposed to baking.
