Keto Cheesecake Recipe (Low Carb Dessert)

Are you following a Keto Diet plan and missing desserts?  My husband has been loosely following Keto Meal plans and as a result, I have been searching for Keto Diet Recipes that the family will enjoy. 

 We modified a keto cheesecake recipe that the family enjoyed and did not miss the sugar.

Keto Diet Cheesecake (Low Carb Dessert)

Portion control is really what any good diet should consist of anyway.  Instead of making a large cheesecake that would last for a week, I modified the recipe to fit in a 6 inch Spring Form pan so the temptation to eat cheesecake every meal did not stare at me in the fridge every time I opened it.

HOW TO MAKE A KETO FRIENDLY CHEESECAKE CRUST:

This was my first almond flour crust and it was a little crumbly.  I used coconut oil but since butter is Keto Friendly I will definitely use that instead.

DO I NEED TO COOK A CHEESECAKE IN A WATER BATH?

I typically don’t bake cheesecakes in a water bath, but a few keto cheesecake recipes I was looking at said they used a baking pan with water underneath the cheesecake as it cooks. 

This process adds moisture to the oven and acts as a further buffer against the infamous cheesecake cracking. 

When you take the pie out of the oven, it should look underdone and jiggly in the center. The cheesecake will continue to firm up as extra moisture evaporates and it cools, and the next day you will have a perfectly textured cheesecake that is so rich and decadent

 

Keto Cheesecake Recipe (Low Carb Dessert)

  • 12oz cream cheese, room temperature 
  • 1 cups yogurt, such as non-Fat Greek yogurt
  • 11/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1/3 cup erythritol
  • 2 tablespoons almond flour
  • Crust:
  • 1 1/2 cups Almond Flour 
  • 1 Tbsp Coconut Oil or Butter

Whipped Cream

  • 2 cups of Heavy Cream
  • 2 teaspoons of Erythritol
  • 1 teaspoon of Vanilla extract

For serving

Cut up berries. 

Instructions

For the crust Mix almond or pecan flour and 1 tbsp coconut oil.  Pour into a nonstick 6 -inch springform pan, press down evenly, then set aside while you make the filling. (Add more butter or coconut oil to get a packable consistency. 

Preheat oven to 350 F. Fill any baking pan about halfway up with water and place it on the oven’s lower rack. Beat all filling ingredients in a blender or food processor just until smooth be careful not to overbeat.

 Spread filling on top of prepared crust. Place on the middle rack (above the rack with the water pan). Bake 25-30 minutes and do not open the oven at all during this time.

Once the time is up, still do not open the oven, but turn off the heat and let the cheesecake sit in the oven an additional 5 minutes. Then remove from the oven—it will still look underdone. Let cool on the counter 20 minutes, then refrigerate overnight, during which time it will firm up considerably. 

WHAT IF MY KETO CHEESECAKE CRACKS ON TOP?

If you have a crack on top of your keto diet dessert, no worries, beat the whipping cream, sugar and vanilla extract in a kitchen aid with a whisk attachment until soft peaks.

Right before serving, top the Low carb cheesecake with the whipped cream and top with sliced strawberries.
