Instructions How to Make Keto Cheesecake Recipe
Keto Crust
- In a small bowl, add melted butter, almond flour, cinnamon and confectioners sugar together and mash with a fork well to make your crust. Should be dry, yet wet enough to press together in the bottom of an 8 inch springform pan.
- Place crust in fridge while you make the cheesecake filling.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and place a pan with water in it half way up on the lowest rack of the oven. Now let’s make the cheesecake filling.
Cheesecake Filling
- Using a mixer, mix the very softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy, set aside. Using a blender or mixer, add yogurt, eggs, vanilla, lemon juice and erythritol together and mix together. Add cream cheese and blend mix until smooth and creamy. (Can also mix in mixer, by adding in the yogurt/eggs mixture slowly to the mixture so it doesn’t get cream cheese chunks. If it does, throw it in the blender to smooth it out. Don’t overbeat cheesecake filling.
- Pour filling into the crust and bake on center shelf for 40-50 minutes.
- Once time is up, leave cheesecake in oven, but turn off the heat and let the cheesecake sit in the oven for an additional 15 minutes. Then remove from the oven—it will still look underdone and a little jiggly. Let cool on the counter 20 minutes, then refrigerate overnight for firming up. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator 3-4 days, or slice and freeze if desired.
Fruit Topping
- In a saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, water, and lemon juice. Make sure the cornstarch is mixed in well and not lumpy. Add the berries, Stir just to combine.
- Cook the berries over medium low heat for about 10-15 minutes or until it begins to thicken. Remove it from heat and let it cool down.
- Add to cheesecake when ready to serve.
Feel free to use your favorite crust or make the low carb cheesecake recipe crustless to cut down on calories/keto.
Adding Toppings
- Sweeten up your life with a list of low carb berries, stone fruits and citrus fruits for seasonal tastes! What’s great is, this fruit topping is also sugar-free and totally yum and goes perfectly with this creamy cheesecake.
- Fruits are are high in carbohydrates because of their natural sugars, therefore, making it difficult to maintain ketosis. But don’t despair! A half-cup serving of cherries makes it possible to enjoy the fruit and stay in ketosis. Your best bet is to keep the amount of cherries to roughly one-fourth of a cup or less on top of your yogurt cheesecake. However blueberries, raspberries and strawberries are low in carbs, so that may be a better option for you!
- You can make the topping anytime before you serve it, but I like to do it while the low carb cheesecake is baking away and that way I get everything done at once, so I can focus on other things.
- Don’t want toppings? Can also be made with the keto cheesecake crust and without the berry topping.
Vegan Option for Your Keto Cheesecake Recipe
- This keto cheesecake recipe can be made vegan too, which more power to ya – just switch out the eggs for 1 cup of coconut milk yogurt.
In conclusion, keto cheesecake is not just a delicious dessert option for those following a low-carb lifestyle, it’s a versatile and healthy treat that can be customized to fit any taste preference when it comes to easy keto recipes!
