BEST KETO CHEESECAKE RECIPE
You might wonder if cheesecake is allowed on the Keto diet and the answer is yes, with just a few adjustments. Traditional cheesecake usually has graham crackers for the crust and a sweet filling.
Using a low-carb sweetener like monk fruit sweetener for the filling instead of regular sugar and your favorite Keto cereal for the cheesecake crust makes it easy. Even our non-Keto friends had no idea it wasn’t regular cheesecake. It tastes like the real thing.
No water bath needed, no springform pan. Simple, easily cut into individual slices, and a low-carb cheesecake to satisfy that sweet tooth on the Ketogenic diet.
HOW TO MAKE KETO CHEESECAKE
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and spray a square or round 9″ pan with cooking spray.
-
For the Crust: In a food processor, pulse the cereal until it’s fine crumbs. Add the melted butter until combined. Press firmly into prepared pan and bake for 5 minutes. Cool while preparing the filling.
-
In a large bowl of stand mixer or with a hand mixer, beat the cream cheese and erythritol until fluffy. Add the sour cream, eggs, vanilla, and liquid Stevia and beat until smooth.
-
Pour cheesecake filling on top of the crust and bake cheesecake for 30-35 minutes or until center of cheesecake is set. Remove from oven and let cool to room temperature before chilling for 4 hours. Serve with cream and berries.
WHY DID MY CHEESECAKE CRACK?
The reason cheesecakes crack is for a few reasons. It can be that the cheesecake is baked at too high of a temperature. Usually when a cheesecake cracks it is because there was a big change in temperature quickly.
The main way to avoid this is to let the cheesecake cool to room temperature before placing in the fridge to cool.
TIPS:
- For best results, use room temperature ingredients.
- Brighten up the flavor by adding a few tablespoons of lemon juice.
TOPPINGS:
We like to top this with whipped cream sweetened with powdered Swerve and low-carb berries such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries.

I’m a little confused! I’m not seeing a serving size (it says 1gram….what?), and when I add up the carbs from the cereal crust and the Swerve sweetener….I get 100 carbs for the dish. If my serving size gives me just 2 carbs….am I really cutting this pan into 50 pieces? That’s like a 1.25 inch square piece! Is this right?
Sorry that’s a bug in the recipe card. It’s fixed
Is the recipe stating 28 ounces of cream cheese is needed or 2, 8 ounce bricks of cream cheese?
Sorry 2 (8 ounce) blocks
how far in advance can I make this cheesecake?
I would say at least 3 days
