Introduction to Keto No Bake Cheesecake
If there’s one dessert recipe we always come back to, it’s keto cheesecake. We’ve made keto recipes for baked cheesecake, cashew cheesecake, cheesecake fat bombs – you name it! And now, we’re back with yet another mouth-watering cheesecake recipe. This time, we’ve created a Keto No Bake Cheesecake that’s creamy, easy to make and quite possibly one of the best things we’ve ever tasted.
Why We Love This Low-Carb No Bake Cheesecake
It’s hard to pick a favorite recipe. But when it comes to our gluten-free keto cheesecake experiments, this one is definitely up there. Here’s why!
Perfect for Summer
Cheesecake might be an all-seasons dessert, but sometimes it’s just too hot to turn on the oven. Fortunately, this Keto No Bake Cheesecake sets completely in the fridge or freezer – no cooking required.
Creamier Than a Baked Keto Cheesecake
Sure, we love a gluten-free baked cheesecake. But in our opinion, no bake cheesecakes are so much creamier – and this No Bake keto Cheesecake is proof of that.
It’s Hard to Mess Up
Low-carb baking is fun, but sometimes it can get a little stressful. Our Keto No Bake Cheesecake might require a little patience while you wait for it to set, but trust us: it’s worth the wait!
Cheesecake is Great for a Keto Diet
Cheesecake is kind of like the alfredo pasta of desserts. It’s got all the makings of a filling, keto-friendly meal, like cheese, heavy cream and butter. The only thing is, it’s sitting on top of a bed of carbs. Creating this no bake keto cheesecake recipe was as simple as using a keto-friendly sweetener for the filling, and a low-carb biscuit base.
How to Choose the Right Sweetener
When it comes to choosing the right sweeteners, there’s more to it than finding something that’s sugar-free and sweet. It’s important that you think about how the sweetener will behave in the recipe. For most traditional dessert recipes, granulated sugar does more than just add sweetness. It also affects the consistency of the final product. This Keto No Bake Cheesecake requires powdered sweetener for that very reason.
Experimenting with Flavors
We’ve tried a lot of different keto cheesecake flavors in the past. But for this easy Keto No Bake Cheesecake recipe, we decided to keep it simple with just a touch of vanilla extract. You can add whatever flavors you like. This recipe is the perfect base, so let your imagination run wild.
Serving Suggestions
This easy Keto No Bake Cheesecake recipe’s simple but delicious vanilla flavor means you can also dress it up however you want with sides and garnishes. Here are some keto-friendly ideas to get you started:
- Shaved or melted dark chocolate
- Fresh berries
- Extra whipped heavy cream
- Rhubarb compote

How to Make Keto No Bake Cheesecake
Making this low-carb no bake cheesecake is easy. The hard part? Waiting for it to set. So the sooner you start making it, the sooner you’ll be able to eat!
- Melt the butter in a glass bowl.
- Pour in your remaining almond flour base ingredients and mix well until combined with the melted butter to form a dough.
- Using parchment paper, line your cheesecake pan and spoon the base mixture across the bottom of the pan.
- Flatten the crust with your spoon, making sure it’s evenly covering the bottom of the pan right up to the edges. Place the pan in the fridge to chill while you make the base.
- Add your base ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Cream together using an electric hand mixer.
- Pour your cheesecake filling into your cheesecake pan, smoothing out the top with a spatula.
- Allow to set in the fridge for at least five hours, or two to three hours in the freezer.
- Slice and serve with your garnish of choice. If you set your low-carb no bake cheesecake in the freezer, leave it out to soften before eating.
How Do I Store My Cheesecake?
Make sure to cover your low-carb no bake cheesecake before storing in the fridge for up to five days. You can also freeze your keto no bake cheesecake. We suggest cutting it into slices first, so you only need to take out one piece at a time when you want to indulge. Remember to allow it to soften before serving for the best texture and flavor.
