No-Bake Keto Cheesecake Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (for chocolate crust) or additional almond flour
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 2 tablespoons erythritol or your favorite keto-friendly sweetener
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup erythritol (or sweetener) for the filling
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, cocoa powder (if using), melted butter, 2 tablespoons of erythritol, and vanilla extract. Mix until the dough-like texture forms.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create an even crust.
- In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and 1/2 cup erythritol until smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the crust in the springform pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until set (overnight is best!).
- Once set, remove from the springform pan, slice, and serve, topped with your favorite keto-friendly toppings!
Tips for Success
- For best results, ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier blending.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to a week—if you have any left!
- Feel free to experiment with different flavors by adding extracts or toppings to keep things exciting!
