We love them so much we have lemon and mocha versions, too.

Keto Cheesecake Ingredients

As always, here is a quick overview of the ingredients used in our low carb cheesecake. For the complete recipe, just scroll to the bottom of the page.

• For the pie crust: Highkey Chocolate Chip Cookies, Crushed Pecans, Melted Butter
• For the cheesecake: Heavy cream, Cream cheese, Sour cream,Confectioners monkfruit, Lemon juice, and vanilla extract
  

How do you make this no bake cheesecake recipe?

• Make the crust: Add the cookies, pecans and melted butter to a food processor and pulse until it forms crumbs that resemble a graham cracker crust. Line a 9 inch springform pan with parchment paper, pour the crust into the bottom of the pan and pack very tightly. Place in the freezer while you prepare the filling.
• Whip the cream: In a large mixing bowl beat the heavy whipping cream with electric beaters until stiff peaks form (this will take 4-6 minutes). Set the bowl in the fridge.
• Make the filling: In a second mixing bowl beat the cream cheese, monkfruit, sour cream, lemon juice and vanilla extract until creamy. Add the whipped cream to the first bowl and beat on low until the mixture is completely smooth. (Feel free to use a stand mixer or hand mixer for the cream cheese mixture, but be careful to not overbeat)
• Assemble: Remove the crust from the freezer and spread the cheesecake filling evenly into the pan. Chill the cheesecake overnight before serving. 

What type of sugar should I use for this keto cheesecake?

I used confectioners monkfruit for this cheesecake – It has the consistency of powdered sugar and creates a lovely, creamy texture. However, traditional granular monkfruit will also work. Monkfruit is a great option for a keto diet because it is all natural, sugar free and doesn’t contain any sucrose or glucose. It also has a zero glycemic index, meaning it won’t affect your blood sugar. If you don’t love the taste of monk fruit, this would probably work with your preferred keto-friendly sweetener as long as it’s a 1:1 substitute.

If you are not trying to keep things low-carb, feel free to make this with regular powdered sugar! The keto cookies could be replaced with your favorite chocolate chip cookies or even graham crackers if you prefer.

How to store No Bake Cheesecake

Store this keto cheesecake in the fridge in a plastic or glass container with an airtight lid. This no bake cheesecake is best eaten within 3 days. Make sure to cover with plastic wrap or an airtight cover before putting it in the refrigerator to help protect that pure vanilla flavor.

Can I freeze No Bake Cheesecake?

You can also freeze this cheesecake! I suggest slicing the cheesecake, then wrap well with foil and store in a freezer bag or airtight container. If you pre-slice the cheesecake you can easily remove one slice at a time. 

What should I serve with this keto no bake cheesecake?

One of my favorite toppings is this Sugar Free Strawberry Sauce. It’s the perfect accompaniment to any keto dessert! This Keto Caramel Sauce is seriously the BEST caramel sauce you’ll ever have! I use it in coffee, on brownies and on cheesecake bars! Keto Chocolate Ganache is also a deliciously indulgent topping while remaining sugar free!

You could also leave this vanilla cheesecake plain, then provide a variety of fresh berries (stick to raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, or blueberries to keep it low-carb) so that everyone can add the toppings they love most. Sugar-free store-bought options like this cherry pie filling, apricot preserves, or apple topping might add more carbs but make it easy to let everyone enjoy their favorite flavors.
