Free Printable: Low Carb & Keto Food List Get It Now Why You’ll Love My Keto Cheesecake Recipe Ingredients & Substitutions How To Make Keto Cheesecake Topping Ideas Troubleshooting Sugar-Free Cheesecake Storage Instructions Tools I Use For This Recipe Keto Cheesecake (Sugar Free & Low Carb) More Keto Cheesecake Recipes Recipe Reviews MyĀ  keto cheesecake recipe Ā is by far the most popular of all myĀ  keto desserts Ā here on Wholesome Yum — and with good reason: It tastes like the real thing! I don’t say this lightly. Since I first developed it back in 2017, it has become my #1 impressive dessert for holidays, birthdays, and just about any occasion where I want to bring something to avoid the sugar. And even though it’s a low carb sugar-free cheesecake, it’s just as rich, sweet, and decadent as its sugar- and gluten-filled counterparts. Pinky promise. This keto cheesecake is also special to me because it marked the turning point when I defined my site as ā€œ10 ingredients or lessā€ and really started focusing on my readers. I know you love quick and easy low carb recipes as much as I do, and I’m so grateful to share this journey with you. So, here’s a big thank you with my best gluten-free, low carb cheesecake recipe! Why You’ll Love My Keto Cheesecake Recipe Indistinguishable from the real thing – This cheesecake tastes so ā€œrealā€ that your friends and family will question that it’s sugar-free. I’ve had guests ask me for the recipe, thinking it was the traditional, sugar-packed version! Creamy, dreamy filling – The filling is just the right combo of smooth, creamy, and rich, with that slightly dense texture you expect from a classic cheesecake. It took me a few tries to get it just right, but oh, was it worth it! Buttery shortbread crust – I make the crust using almond flour, and it’s a lot like my almond flour pie crust . It reminds me of shortbread ! But I also have other crust options for you below, including no crust at all if you prefer. Easy to make – You only need 8 ingredients to make this beauty, including the crust and the filling! And the prep is so easy — I love that I can whip it up without any fuss, even on a busy day. Keto friendly, refined sugar free, and gluten free – At only 6g total carbs and 5g net carbs per slice, my low carb cheesecake is flexible enough for aĀ  keto diet , or for your diabetic friends or family. Or just make it if you simply want to reduce sugar in your life, as I do these days. And like all my recipes, it’s gluten-free, too. Hundreds of 5-star reviews – Don’t just take my word for it! My easy keto cheesecake recipe has hundreds of reviews (see below), so you can be confident that it will turn out. Since so many people loved it, I also included it in my Easy Keto Cookbook . (You’ll also find 100 of my other easy keto recipes in there, including 20 popular website faves and 80 exclusive ones.) Here I explain the best ingredients for my keto cheesecake recipe, what each one does, and substitution options. For measurements, see the recipe card . For The Almond Flour Crust: Almond Flour – I highly recommend using my Wholesome Yum Blanched Almond Flour here (and in other keto baked goods ), and not just because I made it. šŸ˜‰ I developed this one after years of low carb baking because I was tired of the coarse, gritty texture in other brands. (Almond meal is even worse.) Mine has the finest consistency out there, which will give you that shortbread texture you want. Butter – Helps the crust stay together and imparts a buttery flavor. I recommend unsalted, though you can add a pinch of salt to the crust if you want to for balance. Granulated Sweetener – Probably the number one question I get is about sweeteners. ā€œCan I make this keto cheesecake with stevia? Granulated erythritol? Monk fruit? Sucralose ? Something else?ā€ Here’s what you need to know: My top recommendation for the crust is Besti Monk Fruit Allulose Blend . It tastes just like sugar, with no aftertaste or cooling effect, and the crust doesn’t turn out as dry as with other sweeteners. Other sugar substitutes will work if that’s what you have. Unlike the filling (below), the almond flour cheesecake crust is not finicky and will also work using erythritol, xylitol, or an erythritol blend (most brands of monk fruit or stevia are actually blended with erythritol). Check my sweetener conversion chart for amounts to use if you choose something other than Besti. Powdered sweetener is also fine for the crust (if you just want to buy fewer products), but otherwise it has no advantage for the crust. Don’t use liquid or concentrated sweeteners (like pure stevia or pure monk fruit). Both will make the crust too runny. Vanilla Extract – Not strictly required, but I highly recommend including it! I like this vanilla extract brand , which is great quality and has zero sugar. Crust Variations: Many people ask if they can make my low carb cheesecake with a different crust, or no crust at all. You can! Here’s how: Coconut flour cheesecake crust – If you need a nut-free option, you can use coconut flour instead of almond flour, but it’s not a 1:1 replacement. To use coconut flour, you’ll need 1 1/2 cups of coconut flour, 1/2 cup of coconut oil or butter, 4 large eggs, and 2 tablespoons of Besti. Crustless cheesecake – Feel free to skip the crust altogether! Just pour the filling directly into the pan and bake as usual. I always line the pan with parchment paper, but it’s extra important for this version to prevent sticking. Substitute other nut flours – For the best texture in your keto cheesecake crust, I recommend leaving some of the blanched almond flour in the crust, but you can replace 1/4 to 1/2 of it with ground macadamia nuts or pecans if you like. Substitutes for butter – I prefer the flavor and consistency of the crust with butter, but unrefined coconut oil or ghee would also work fine instead. I don’t recommend using oils that are liquid at room temperature, such as olive or avocado oil. Mini size – If you want more portion-controlled servings, try my keto mini cheesecakes (in a muffin tin) or my even smaller keto cheesecake bites (in a mini one). For The Sugar-Free Cheesecake Filling: Cream Cheese – The base of the filling! Use plain, full-fat cream cheese for the best flavor, texture, and keto macros . However, from a recipe standpoint, low-fat or neufchatel cream cheese would work fine. (You can read about other cream cheese substitutes on my cream cheese recipes page.) It’s also very important that you use softened cream cheese (at room temperature), otherwise your filling will have little chunks of cream cheese instead of a smooth batter. I also have a variation using Greek yogurt — see my healthy cheesecake recipe . Besti Powdered Monk Fruit Allulose Blend – For the filling, powdered sweetener is a must; don’t use granulated, liquid, or super concentrated versions. The sweetener provides some bulk in the keto cheesecake, and the powdered consistency is required so that the end result is not grainy. Most brands of cup-for-cup-like-sugar powdered sweeteners work okay, but I highly recommend using Besti Powdered if you can, because it creates the creamiest texture . Others tend to be more dry and can crystallize. I’ve definitely noticed a difference in how smooth it is when using Besti, compared to the other brands I used to use for this recipe. Eggs – These help the filling set up and also give it a creamy texture. Sorry, there is no substitution for them. If you can’t have eggs, make my keto no bake cheesecake instead. Lemon Juice – Helps bring out the sweetness and flavor. It’s not enough to make the sugar-free cheesecake lemony, so don’t worry about that if you’re not a fan of lemon — you’ll still want to include the lemon juice in the filling. Vanilla Extract – Use the same one you used for the crust. VARIATION: Add sour cream! If you want a richer, creamier New York style low carb cheesecake, add 1/4 cup of sour cream right before you beat in the eggs. I have step-by-step photos here to help you visualize the recipe. For full instructions, including amounts and temperatures, see the recipe card below . If we want to make our keto cheesecake taste like the real thing, we’re going to have to make it using the same method as the real thing! šŸ˜‰ For the most part, my method here is very similar to a regular one: Get everything ready. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper. Mix the dough. In a medium to large bowl, stir the almond flour, melted butter, Besti, and vanilla extract, until well combined. The dough will be slightly crumbly. Bake. Press the crust mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake your low carb cheesecake crust for about 10 minutes, until barely golden. Cool. Set the crust aside to cool for at least 10 minutes. Make the filling while you wait! Beat the cream cheese and Besti. Using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer at medium speed, beat the cream cheese and powdered Besti, until fluffy. This is where room-temperature cream cheese is crucial! Add the eggs. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Add the lemon juice and vanilla. Beat them in at the end. TIP: Keep your mixer at medium speed the whole time. Too-high speed will introduce too many air bubbles, which we don’t want. Add the filling to the crust. Pour the filling mixture into the pan over the crust. Smooth the top with a spatula. (I use a pastry spatula like this for a smoother top.) TIP: Tap the pan on the counter to remove air bubbles. This is not required, but if you want a denser result without air pockets, this can help release some bubbles. Bake. Place the keto cheesecake in the oven and bake until the center is almost set, but still jiggly. (If you are concerned about cracking, see my troubleshooting tips below!) IMPORTANT: Do not wait for the filling to set completely! Remove it from the oven when it’s still jiggly. It will set more as it cools on the counter and then in the fridge overnight. Cool. Remove the cake from the oven. If the edges are stuck to the pan, run a knife all the way around (but don’t remove the springform edge yet). Let it cool in the pan on the counter, until it reaches room temperature. Chill. Cover the sugar-free cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate until completely set. (Do not try to remove the cake from the pan or slice before chilling.) Once set, I slice it with a sharp knife, and wipe with a damp paper towel between cuts. This classic keto cheesecake is already so decadent plain, but I love it even more with one of these toppings: Raspberry Sauce – This is hands down my favorite topping, and yes, it’s the one you see in the pictures here! You can find my detailed recipe in my Easy Keto Cookbook , but all you really do is simmer raspberries with Powdered Besti , mashing them as they soften, until they turn into this gorgeous sauce. Melted Chocolate – You can use my sugar-free chocolate sauce , or just melt down some sugar-free chocolate chips ( this brand is my favorite , we go through bags of them at my house!). Whipped Cream – Can’t go wrong with a dollop of my homemade sugar-free whipped cream for the perfect light, fluffy finish! Caramel Sauce – A drizzle of my sugar-free caramel sauce is my second-favorite after the raspberry sauce above. I also have a caramel-topped keto cheesecake recipe made into cupcakes in my second book,Ā  The Easy Keto Carboholics’ Cookbook . Fresh Berries – All berries are keto, but you can check my keto fruit guide for more detailed carb counts. Troubleshooting Sugar-Free Cheesecake You shouldn’t have any problems with my recipe if you follow the instructions, but here are the most common mistakes I see people make that you can watch out for: Cracking Or Settling – Most often, this is caused by sudden temperature changes. Make sure the cake cools on the counter before refrigerating. Mine doesn’t usually crack, but if you want to be on the safe side, you can bake your low carb cheesecake in a water bath. Line the outside of the pan with foil to keep moisture out, pour a little water into a bigger pan, and place the foil lined pan inside. Then bake. I usually skip this step for convenience, but you can try it if you have problems with cracking. Worst case, if you do have cracks, add some berry or caramel topping to hide them — problem fixed! Gritty Filling – This can happen if you use the wrong sweetener. Use Besti Powdered for smooth results. Runny Filling – Underbaking can leave the filling runny, but more often than not, people reporting this have missed the step of cooling and refrigerating. This is required to fully set the filling. Dry or Crumbly Filling – This is a result of overcooking the cheesecake (and can also be another reason for cracks). Remember to remove it from the oven when it’s still jiggly, not fully set. When cooked properly, it should set only after cooling and chilling. Carb Count Differences – Many online calculators get the nutrition information wrong for my keto cheesecake. This is because most don’t recognize that Besti can be excluded from carb count (this really adds up!), and rounding errors are common for cream cheese. Most nutrition labels round up or down to the nearest whole amount of carbs, but the serving is only an ounce. Since my sugar-free cheesecake recipe calls for 32 ounces of cream cheese, rounding up makes a big difference! My recipe card below uses the exact carb count directly from the USDA National Nutrient Database, which is most accurate. My full keto food list has those values for all the major low carb foods, or you can find them in the Wholesome Yum App on iPhone Ā orĀ  Android . Store: Yes, you can make this cake ahead! After the initial chilling time, keep it in the fridge for up to 3-5 days. Moving it can be tricky, so I usually keep it on the bottom of the springform pan without the sides, and cover it in plastic to prevent drying out. Freeze: This sugar-free cheesecake freezes beautifully, as long as you let it set first. For best results, place it into the freezer uncovered (on a parchment lined baking sheet) for several hours first, until solid. (I prefer doing it this way so that I don’t crush it while wrapping.) Once solid, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, followed by a layer of aluminum foil, and then place back into the freezer. If you prefer, you can freeze individual slices instead, but just like a whole cake, they are still easier to wrap after freezing solid first. The texture is best within 1 month, but up to 3 months is okay. Thaw: You can thaw the cake in the fridge overnight, or on the counter for 2-4 hours. I remove the foil before thawing, but it’s fine to leave the plastic on. Hand Mixer – Mine has variable speeds, which is particularly useful for cheesecakes where high speed introduces too many air bubbles. And the best part? I can store all its attachments right in the base, so no more hunting around in drawers! (But if you’re not up for holding a mixer for a while, go with a stand mixer instead.) Springform Pan – If you’re making any kind of low carb cheesecake, you’ve gotta have a springform pan like this one. Trying to get one out of a regular cake pan is just asking for trouble. Some readers have asked about using a pie pan — I haven’t tested this, but you’d probably need less filling. Pastry Spatula – This little tool is a lifesaver for getting the top of your cheesecake perfectly smooth. I also use it for frosting my other keto cakes ! RECIPE SAVED!

Line a 9-inch (23-cm) springform pan with parchment paper. To make the almond flour cheesecake crust, stir the almond flour, melted butter, Besti, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl, until well combined. The dough will be slightly crumbly. Press the dough into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for about 10-12 minutes , until barely golden. Let cool at least 10 minutes . Keto Cheesecake Filling: Meanwhile, beat the cream cheese and powdered sweetener together at low to medium speed until fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Beat in the lemon juice and vanilla extract. (Keep the mixer at low to medium the whole time; too high speed will introduce too many air bubbles, which we don't want.) Assembly: Pour the filling into the pan over the crust. Smooth the top with a spatula (use an icing spatula for a smoother top if you have one). If you want to ensure no air bubbles, tap the pan on the counter several times. Bake for about 40-55 minutes , until the center is almost set, but still jiggly. Remove the cheesecake from the oven. If the edges are stuck to the pan, run a knife around the edge (don't remove the springform edge yet). Cool in the pan on the counter to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight), until completely set. (Do not try to remove the cake from the pan before chilling.)

I don’t say this lightly. Since I first developed it back in 2017, it has become my \#1 impressive dessert for holidays, birthdays, and just about any occasion where I want to bring something to avoid the sugar. And even though it’s a low carb sugar-free cheesecake, it’s just as rich, sweet, and decadent as its sugar- and gluten-filled counterparts. Pinky promise. This keto cheesecake is also special to me because it marked the turning point when I defined my site as ā€œ10 ingredients or lessā€ and really started focusing on my readers. I know you love quick and easy [low carb recipes](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/recipe-index/) as much as I do, and I’m so grateful to share this journey with you. So, here’s a big thank you with my best gluten-free, low carb cheesecake recipe\! ## Why You’ll Love My Keto Cheesecake Recipe ![Maya in the kitchen.](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/wp-content/themes/wholesomeyum/images/maya-about-150x150.jpg) - **Indistinguishable from the real thing** – This cheesecake tastes so ā€œrealā€ that your friends and family will question that it’s sugar-free. I’ve had guests ask me for the recipe, thinking it was the traditional, sugar-packed version\! - **Creamy, dreamy filling** – The filling is just the right combo of smooth, creamy, and rich, with that slightly dense texture you expect from a classic cheesecake. It took me a few tries to get it just right, but oh, was it worth it\! - **Buttery shortbread crust** – I make the crust using almond flour, and it’s a lot like my [almond flour pie crust](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/recipes/almond-flour-pie-crust-recipe-paleo-low-carb-gluten-free/). It reminds me of [shortbread](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/almond-flour-cookies/)! But I also have other crust options for you below, including no crust at all if you prefer. - **Easy to make** – You only need 8 ingredients to make this beauty, including the crust *and* the filling! And the prep is so easy — I love that I can whip it up without any fuss, even on a busy day. - **Keto friendly, refined sugar free, and gluten free** – At only 6g total carbs and 5g [net carbs](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/how-to-calculate-net-carbs/) per slice, my low carb cheesecake is flexible enough for a [keto diet](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/low-carb-keto-diet-plan-how-to-start-a-low-carb-diet/), or for your diabetic friends or family. Or just make it if you simply want to reduce sugar in your life, as I do these days. And like all my recipes, it’s gluten-free, too. - **Hundreds of 5-star reviews** – Don’t just take my word for it! My easy keto cheesecake recipe has hundreds of reviews (see below), so you can be confident that it will turn out. Since so many people loved it, I also included it in my [Easy Keto Cookbook](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/cookbook/). (You’ll also find 100 of my other easy keto recipes in there, including 20 popular website faves and 80 exclusive ones.) ![Maya's signature.](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20width='130'%20height='70'%20viewBox='0%200%20130%2070'%3E%3C/svg%3E) ![Maya's signature.](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/wp-content/themes/wholesomeyum/images/maya-signature-130x70.png) ![Keto cheesecake recipe with almond flour, Besti sweetener, and Easy Keto Cookbook.](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20width='1200'%20height='1800'%20viewBox='0%200%201200%201800'%3E%3C/svg%3E) ![Keto cheesecake recipe with almond flour, Besti sweetener, and Easy Keto Cookbook.](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/wholesomeyum-Low-Carb-Cheesecake-Recipe-Sugar-Free-Keto-Cheesecake-8.jpg) ## Ingredients & Substitutions Here I explain the best ingredients for my keto cheesecake recipe, what each one does, and substitution options. For measurements, see the [recipe card](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/recipes/low-carb-cheesecake-keto-gluten-free-sugar-free/#jumptorecipe). ### For The Almond Flour Crust: - **Almond Flour** – I highly recommend using my [Wholesome Yum Blanched Almond Flour](https://www.wholesomeyumfoods.com/shop/flours/almond-flour/) here (and in other [keto baked goods](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/prep/baking/)), and not just because I made it. šŸ˜‰ I developed this one after years of low carb baking because I was tired of the coarse, gritty texture in other brands. (Almond meal is even worse.) Mine has the finest consistency out there, which will give you that shortbread texture you want. - **Butter** – Helps the crust stay together and imparts a buttery flavor. I recommend unsalted, though you can add a pinch of salt to the crust if you want to for balance. - **Granulated Sweetener** – Probably the number one question I get is about sweeteners. ā€œCan I make this keto cheesecake with stevia? Granulated erythritol? Monk fruit? [Sucralose](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/is-sucralose-keto/)? Something else?ā€ Here’s what you need to know: - **My top recommendation for the crust is [Besti Monk Fruit Allulose Blend](https://www.wholesomeyumfoods.com/shop/sweeteners/monk-fruit/monk-fruit-allulose-blend/).** It tastes just like sugar, with no aftertaste or cooling effect, and the crust doesn’t turn out as dry as with other sweeteners. - **Other [sugar substitutes](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/sugar-substitutes/) will work if that’s what you have.** Unlike the filling (below), the almond flour cheesecake crust is not finicky and will also work using erythritol, xylitol, or an erythritol blend (most brands of monk fruit or stevia are actually blended with erythritol). Check my [sweetener conversion chart](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/natural-low-carb-sweeteners-guide-conversion-chart/) for amounts to use if you choose something other than Besti. - **Powdered sweetener is also fine for the crust** (if you just want to buy fewer products), but otherwise it has no advantage for the crust. - **Don’t use liquid or concentrated sweeteners (like pure stevia or pure monk fruit).** Both will make the crust too runny. - **Vanilla Extract** – Not strictly required, but I highly recommend including it! I like [this vanilla extract brand](https://amzn.to/3Jt9M7P), which is great quality and has zero sugar. ![Crust Variations:](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20width='0'%20height='0'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E) ![Crust Variations:](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/icon-variations-white.svg) ### Crust Variations: Many people ask if they can make my low carb cheesecake with a different crust, or no crust at all. You can! Here’s how: - **Coconut flour cheesecake crust** – If you need a nut-free option, you can use coconut flour instead of almond flour, but it’s not a 1:1 replacement. To use coconut flour, you’ll need 1 1/2 cups of coconut flour, 1/2 cup of coconut oil or butter, 4 large eggs, and 2 tablespoons of Besti. - **Crustless cheesecake** – Feel free to skip the crust altogether! Just pour the filling directly into the pan and bake as usual. I always line the pan with parchment paper, but it’s *extra* important for this version to prevent sticking. - **Substitute other nut flours** – For the best texture in your keto cheesecake crust, I recommend leaving some of the blanched almond flour in the crust, but you can replace 1/4 to 1/2 of it with ground macadamia nuts or pecans if you like. - **Substitutes for butter** – I prefer the flavor and consistency of the crust with butter, but unrefined coconut oil or ghee would also work fine instead. I don’t recommend using oils that are liquid at room temperature, such as olive or avocado oil. - **Mini size** – If you want more portion-controlled servings, try my [keto mini cheesecakes](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/keto-mini-cheesecake/) (in a muffin tin) or my even smaller [keto cheesecake bites](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/low-carb-keto-cheesecake-bites-recipe/) (in a mini one). ### For The Sugar-Free Cheesecake Filling: - **Cream Cheese** – The base of the filling! Use plain, full-fat cream cheese for the best flavor, texture, and [keto macros](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/what-are-macros/). However, from a recipe standpoint, low-fat or neufchatel cream cheese would work fine. (You can read about other cream cheese substitutes on my [cream cheese recipes](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/tag/cream-cheese/) page.) It’s also very important that you use **softened cream cheese** (at room temperature), otherwise your filling will have little chunks of cream cheese instead of a smooth batter. I also have a variation using Greek yogurt — see my [healthy cheesecake recipe](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/healthy-cheesecake/). - **[Besti Powdered Monk Fruit Allulose Blend](https://www.wholesomeyumfoods.com/shop/sweeteners/monk-fruit/monk-fruit-allulose-blend-powdered/)** – For the filling, powdered sweetener is a must; don’t use granulated, liquid, or super concentrated versions. The sweetener provides some bulk in the keto cheesecake, and the powdered consistency is required so that the end result is not grainy. Most brands of cup-for-cup-like-sugar powdered sweeteners work okay, but **I highly recommend using Besti Powdered if you can, because it creates the creamiest texture**. Others tend to be more dry and can crystallize. I’ve definitely noticed a difference in how smooth it is when using Besti, compared to the other brands I used to use for this recipe. - **Eggs** – These help the filling set up and also give it a creamy texture. Sorry, there is no substitution for them. If you can’t have eggs, make my [keto no bake cheesecake](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/no-bake-keto-cheesecake/) instead. - **Lemon Juice** – Helps bring out the sweetness and flavor. It’s not enough to make the sugar-free cheesecake lemony, so don’t worry about that if you’re not a fan of lemon — you’ll still want to include the lemon juice in the filling. - **Vanilla Extract** – Use the same one you used for the crust. ![VARIATION: Add sour cream\!](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20width='0'%20height='0'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E) ![VARIATION: Add sour cream\!](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/icon-variations-white.svg) **VARIATION: Add sour cream\!** If you want a richer, creamier New York style low carb cheesecake, add 1/4 cup of sour cream right before you beat in the eggs. ![Labeled bowls of almond flour, cream cheese, butter, eggs, Besti sweeteners, lemon, and vanilla to make the recipe.](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20width='1200'%20height='1800'%20viewBox='0%200%201200%201800'%3E%3C/svg%3E) ![Labeled bowls of almond flour, cream cheese, butter, eggs, Besti sweeteners, lemon, and vanilla to make the recipe.](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/wholesomeyum-Keto-Cheesecake-Recipe-Low-Carb-Sugar-Free-Cheesecake-1.jpg) ## How To Make Keto Cheesecake I have step-by-step photos here to help you visualize the recipe. For full instructions, including amounts and temperatures, see the [recipe card below](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/recipes/low-carb-cheesecake-keto-gluten-free-sugar-free/#jumptorecipe). If we want to make our keto cheesecake taste like the real thing, we’re going to have to make it using the same method as the real thing! šŸ˜‰ For the most part, my method here is very similar to a regular one: ### Make The Crust - **Get everything ready.** Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line the bottom of a [9-inch springform pan](https://amzn.to/3JwiK4s) with parchment paper. - **Mix the dough.** In a medium to large bowl, stir the almond flour, melted butter, Besti, and vanilla extract, until well combined. The dough will be slightly crumbly. - **Bake.** Press the crust mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake your low carb cheesecake crust for about 10 minutes, until barely golden. - **Cool.** Set the crust aside to cool for at least 10 minutes. Make the filling while you wait\! ![Crumbly crust dough mixed in a bowl.](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20width='1200'%20height='1200'%20viewBox='0%200%201200%201200'%3E%3C/svg%3E) ![Crumbly crust dough mixed in a bowl.](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/wholesomeyum-Low-Carb-Cheesecake-Recipe-Sugar-Free-Keto-Cheesecake-1.jpg) ![Baked almond flour crust.](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20width='1200'%20height='1200'%20viewBox='0%200%201200%201200'%3E%3C/svg%3E) ![Baked almond flour crust.](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/wholesomeyum-Low-Carb-Cheesecake-Recipe-Sugar-Free-Keto-Cheesecake-15.jpg) ### Make The Filling - **Beat the cream cheese and Besti.** Using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer at medium speed, beat the cream cheese and powdered Besti, until fluffy. This is where room-temperature cream cheese is crucial\! - **Add the eggs.** Beat in the eggs, one at a time. - **Add the lemon juice and vanilla.** Beat them in at the end. ![TIP: Keep your mixer at medium speed the whole time.](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20width='140'%20height='140'%20viewBox='0%200%20140%20140'%3E%3C/svg%3E) ![TIP: Keep your mixer at medium speed the whole time.](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/icon-tips-white.png) **TIP: Keep your mixer at medium speed the whole time.** Too-high speed will introduce too many air bubbles, which we don’t want. ![Cream cheese and Besti Powdered beaten with a hand mixer.](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20width='1200'%20height='1200'%20viewBox='0%200%201200%201200'%3E%3C/svg%3E) ![Cream cheese and Besti Powdered beaten with a hand mixer.](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/wholesomeyum-Low-Carb-Cheesecake-Recipe-Sugar-Free-Keto-Cheesecake-2.jpg) ![Sugar-free cheesecake batter in a bowl.](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20width='1200'%20height='1200'%20viewBox='0%200%201200%201200'%3E%3C/svg%3E) ![Sugar-free cheesecake batter in a bowl.](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/wholesomeyum-Low-Carb-Cheesecake-Recipe-Sugar-Free-Keto-Cheesecake-3.jpg) ### Assemble & Bake - **Add the filling to the crust.** Pour the filling mixture into the pan over the crust. Smooth the top with a spatula. (I use a [pastry spatula like this](https://amzn.to/3eyRyEA) for a smoother top.) ![TIP: Tap the pan on the counter to remove air bubbles.](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20width='140'%20height='140'%20viewBox='0%200%20140%20140'%3E%3C/svg%3E) ![TIP: Tap the pan on the counter to remove air bubbles.](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/icon-tips-white.png) **TIP: Tap the pan on the counter to remove air bubbles.** This is not required, but if you want a denser result without air pockets, this can help release some bubbles. - **Bake.** Place the keto cheesecake in the oven and bake until the center is almost set, but still jiggly. (If you are concerned about cracking, see my troubleshooting tips below!) ![IMPORTANT: Do not wait for the filling to set completely\!](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20width='140'%20height='140'%20viewBox='0%200%20140%20140'%3E%3C/svg%3E) ![IMPORTANT: Do not wait for the filling to set completely\!](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/icon-tips-white.png) **IMPORTANT: Do not wait for the filling to set completely\!** Remove it from the oven when it’s still jiggly. It will set more as it cools on the counter and then in the fridge overnight. ![Batter in a springform pan.](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20width='1200'%20height='1200'%20viewBox='0%200%201200%201200'%3E%3C/svg%3E) ![Batter in a springform pan.](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/wholesomeyum-Low-Carb-Cheesecake-Recipe-Sugar-Free-Keto-Cheesecake-16.jpg) ![Baked low carb cheesecake.](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20width='1200'%20height='1200'%20viewBox='0%200%201200%201200'%3E%3C/svg%3E) ![Baked low carb cheesecake.](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/wholesomeyum-Low-Carb-Cheesecake-Recipe-Sugar-Free-Keto-Cheesecake-18.jpg) - **Cool.** Remove the cake from the oven. If the edges are stuck to the pan, run a knife all the way around (but don’t remove the springform edge yet). Let it cool in the pan on the counter, until it reaches room temperature. - **Chill.** Cover the sugar-free cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate until completely set. (Do not try to remove the cake from the pan or slice before chilling.) Once set, I slice it with a sharp knife, and wipe with a damp paper towel between cuts. ![Classic keto cheesecake with a slice removed.](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20width='1200'%20height='1800'%20viewBox='0%200%201200%201800'%3E%3C/svg%3E) ![Classic keto cheesecake with a slice removed.](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/wholesomeyum-Low-Carb-Cheesecake-Recipe-Sugar-Free-Keto-Cheesecake-21.jpg) ## Topping Ideas This classic keto cheesecake is already so decadent plain, but I love it even more with one of these toppings: - **Raspberry Sauce** – This is hands down my favorite topping, and yes, it’s the one you see in the pictures here! You can find my detailed recipe in my [Easy Keto Cookbook](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/cookbook/), but all you really do is simmer raspberries with [Powdered Besti](https://www.wholesomeyumfoods.com/shop/sweeteners/monk-fruit/monk-fruit-allulose-blend-powdered/), mashing them as they soften, until they turn into this gorgeous sauce. - **Melted Chocolate** – You can use my [sugar-free chocolate sauce](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/sugar-free-chocolate-syrup/), or just melt down some sugar-free chocolate chips ([this brand is my favorite](https://amzn.to/3YjE3kk), we go through bags of them at my house!). - **Whipped Cream** – Can’t go wrong with a dollop of my homemade [sugar-free whipped cream](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/sugar-free-whipped-cream/) for the perfect light, fluffy finish\! - **Caramel Sauce** – A drizzle of my [sugar-free caramel sauce](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/recipes/sugar-free-caramel-sauce-recipe-low-carb-keto/) is my second-favorite after the raspberry sauce above. I also have a caramel-topped keto cheesecake recipe made into cupcakes in my second book, [The Easy Keto Carboholics’ Cookbook](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/keto-carbs-cookbook/). - **Fresh Berries** – All berries are keto, but you can check my [keto fruit guide](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/keto-fruit/) for more detailed carb counts. ![2 slices of keto cheesecake on plates with forks, and Besti sweetener in the background.](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20width='1200'%20height='1800'%20viewBox='0%200%201200%201800'%3E%3C/svg%3E) ![2 slices of keto cheesecake on plates with forks, and Besti sweetener in the background.](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/wholesomeyum-Low-Carb-Cheesecake-Recipe-Sugar-Free-Keto-Cheesecake-10.jpg) ![Troubleshooting Sugar-Free Cheesecake](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20width='88'%20height='88'%20viewBox='0%200%2088%2088'%3E%3C/svg%3E) ![Troubleshooting Sugar-Free Cheesecake](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/icon-question-white.png) ## Troubleshooting Sugar-Free Cheesecake You shouldn’t have any problems with my recipe if you follow the instructions, but here are the most common mistakes I see people make that you can watch out for: - **Cracking Or Settling** – Most often, this is caused by sudden temperature changes. Make sure the cake cools on the counter before refrigerating. Mine doesn’t usually crack, but if you want to be on the safe side, you can bake your low carb cheesecake in a water bath. Line the outside of the pan with foil to keep moisture out, pour a little water into a bigger pan, and place the foil lined pan inside. Then bake. I usually skip this step for convenience, but you can try it if you have problems with cracking. Worst case, if you do have cracks, add some berry or caramel topping to hide them — problem fixed\! - **Gritty Filling** – This can happen if you use the wrong sweetener. Use [Besti Powdered](https://www.wholesomeyumfoods.com/shop/sweeteners/monk-fruit/monk-fruit-allulose-blend-powdered/) for smooth results. - **Runny Filling** – Underbaking can leave the filling runny, but more often than not, people reporting this have missed the step of cooling and refrigerating. This is required to fully set the filling. - **Dry or Crumbly Filling** – This is a result of overcooking the cheesecake (and can also be another reason for cracks). Remember to remove it from the oven when it’s still jiggly, *not* fully set. When cooked properly, it should set only *after* cooling and chilling. - **Carb Count Differences** – Many online calculators get the nutrition information wrong for my keto cheesecake. This is because most don’t recognize that Besti can be excluded from carb count (this really adds up!), and rounding errors are common for cream cheese. Most nutrition labels round up or down to the nearest whole amount of carbs, but the serving is only an ounce. Since my sugar-free cheesecake recipe calls for 32 ounces of cream cheese, rounding up makes a big difference! My recipe card below uses the exact carb count directly from the USDA National Nutrient Database, which is most accurate. My full [keto food list](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/low-carb-keto-food-list/) has those values for all the major low carb foods, or you can find them in the Wholesome Yum App on [iPhone](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/wholesome-yum/id1527773228) or [Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wholesomeyum.easyketoapp). ![Slice of sugar-free cheesecake with berries and the whole cake in the background.](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20width='1200'%20height='1800'%20viewBox='0%200%201200%201800'%3E%3C/svg%3E) ![Slice of sugar-free cheesecake with berries and the whole cake in the background.](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/wholesomeyum-Low-Carb-Cheesecake-Recipe-Sugar-Free-Keto-Cheesecake-27.jpg) ## Storage Instructions - **Store:** Yes, you can make this cake ahead! After the initial chilling time, keep it in the fridge for up to 3-5 days. Moving it can be tricky, so I usually keep it on the bottom of the springform pan without the sides, and cover it in plastic to prevent drying out. - **Freeze:** This sugar-free cheesecake freezes beautifully, as long as you let it set first. For best results, place it into the freezer uncovered (on a parchment lined baking sheet) for several hours first, until solid. (I prefer doing it this way so that I don’t crush it while wrapping.) Once solid, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, followed by a layer of aluminum foil, and then place back into the freezer. If you prefer, you can freeze individual slices instead, but just like a whole cake, they are still easier to wrap after freezing solid first. The texture is best within 1 month, but up to 3 months is okay. - **Thaw:** You can thaw the cake in the fridge overnight, or on the counter for 2-4 hours. I remove the foil before thawing, but it’s fine to leave the plastic on. ## Tools I Use For This Recipe - **[Hand Mixer](https://amzn.to/3GJ7K1N)** – Mine has variable speeds, which is particularly useful for cheesecakes where high speed introduces too many air bubbles. And the best part? I can store all its attachments right in the base, so no more hunting around in drawers! (But if you’re not up for holding a mixer for a while, go with a [stand mixer](https://amzn.to/3EJNvTN) instead.) - [**Springform Pan**](https://amzn.to/3JwiK4s) – If you’re making any kind of low carb cheesecake, you’ve gotta have a springform pan like this one. Trying to get one out of a regular cake pan is just asking for trouble. Some readers have asked about using a pie pan — I haven’t tested this, but you’d probably need less filling. - [**Pastry Spatula**](https://amzn.to/3eyRyEA) – This little tool is a lifesaver for getting the top of your cheesecake perfectly smooth. I also use it for frosting my other [keto cakes](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/recipes/gluten-free-birthday-cake-low-carb-keto/)\!

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C). Line a [9-inch (23-cm) springform pan](https://amzn.to/3uFEAOE) with parchment paper. 2. To make the almond flour cheesecake crust, stir the almond flour, melted butter, Besti, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl, until well combined. The dough will be slightly crumbly. 3. Press the dough into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for about 10-12 minutes, until barely golden. Let cool at least 10 minutes. #### Keto Cheesecake Filling: 1. Meanwhile, beat the cream cheese and powdered sweetener together at low to medium speed until fluffy. 2. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. 3. Beat in the lemon juice and vanilla extract. (Keep the mixer at low to medium the whole time; too high speed will introduce too many air bubbles, which we don't want.) #### Assembly: 1. Pour the filling into the pan over the crust. Smooth the top with a spatula (use an [icing spatula](https://amzn.to/33bsmSu) for a smoother top if you have one). If you want to ensure no air bubbles, tap the pan on the counter several times. 2. Bake for about 40-55 minutes, until the center is almost set, but still jiggly. 3. Remove the cheesecake from the oven. If the edges are stuck to the pan, run a knife around the edge (don't remove the springform edge yet). Cool in the pan on the counter to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight), until completely set. (Do not try to remove the cake from the pan before chilling.) ### Did You Like It?

The filling turned out amazing, but the crust was incredibly powdery and flavorless! It didn’t hold together at all. It also made way too much for my pan, I only used half of what I made. - Maya \| Wholesome Yum [0]() Feb 20, 2025 [Reply](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/recipes/low-carb-cheesecake-keto-gluten-free-sugar-free/#comment-891584) Hi Nathan, Sorry to hear your cheesecake didn’t turn out. It sounds like something went wrong because this crust is not normally powdery, and not normally excessive for one pan either. Did you have a small pan, like 7 inch? This crust is for a 9-inch pan. Did your crust dough look like my pictures and video before baking? Did you make any substitutions, such as using almond meal instead of superfine almond flour or a different sweetener? It could also be some difference with the other filling you used that somehow affected the crust, since I test my recipe using the filling above (and it really is the best part, so I hope you’ll try it sometime), but more likely I suspect it was an issue with either measuring or the ingredients. I’m happy to help troubleshoot if you can answer some of these questions. - Julia [0]() Jul 6, 2023 [Reply](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/recipes/low-carb-cheesecake-keto-gluten-free-sugar-free/#comment-625644) mine cracked too when cooling… next time I am going to do the water bath - Liz [0]() Jul 17, 2024 [Reply](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/recipes/low-carb-cheesecake-keto-gluten-free-sugar-free/#comment-832841) Hello, do you know if it’s possible to halve this recipe in a 6 or 7″ springform pan?

I made the filling without sweetener and then split it in half making 1/2 with sugar and 1/2 with the sweetener for those who aren’t low carb and afraid of weird tastes (and cut out the extra 2 tbs sugar in each). Didn’t need to split it, this sweetener is great and my 11-year-old actually ate the sugar free one and loved it. I also baked it in the air fryer. 1 in a spring form (for the traditionalists), and the rest in ramekins (for me). Quick, smooth interior, no cracks. I’ll be making this again and again. 8.

There are no improvements to make, except for a tip on packing in the crust ingredients to the springform pan bottom. Pour in all the crust dough crumblies on top of the parchment paper (yes, you need this), and lightly distribute evenly over the pan bottom with your fingers. Then wrap a potato masher in foil so the bottom is smooth, and tamp down evenly over the crust. I start out lightly all around, then firm up. I use this technique in all my crumble crust pies as well (like graham cracker crust). 12.

I don’t have a springform pan so I lightly greased the sides of a round cake pan and lined the bottom with lard first and then parchment. It was a 9″ pan with high sides so it was a thick cheesecake and I still had a little extra to make 4 individual muffin size cheesecakes. I added ground walnuts to the almond flour for the crust and it was so good. I made the mistake of having this out at our last birthday party and everyone chose this instead of the birthday cake. I am the only one Keto! I think next time I will drizzle some Lilly’s stevia sweetened extremely dark chocolate over the top\! 14.

The filling came out perfect. But the crust was burnt. Instead of baking the crust for 10 min. I think I will try baking it all at once. Rv ovens only have a gas burner at the bottom so it might have been too much. The raspberry sauce was amazing but I did add a few tablespoons more Besti powder. - Maya \| Wholesome Yum [0]() Mar 8, 2026 [Reply](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/recipes/low-carb-cheesecake-keto-gluten-free-sugar-free/#comment-949497) I’m glad the filling turned out well, Melissa! Yes, it could be that the crust needed less time with your oven, so I’d try less time next time. You can also just not bake the crust at all but sometimes that makes it turn out soggy. If your oven runs hot or just has a strong bottom burner, you can also try lowering the oven temp by 25 degrees next time, which might take longer but bake more evenly. Hope this helps. 22.

He LOVED cheesecake before he was diabetic so I was soooo happy that I found this recipe! The cheesecake turned out DELICIOUS. The only thing I changed is that I pre-baked the crust for 8 minutes instead of 10-12. Also, unfortunately my cheesecake cracked when I took it out of the oven so next time I’ll try a water bath. - Wholesome Yum D [0]() Nov 3, 2025 [Reply](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/recipes/low-carb-cheesecake-keto-gluten-free-sugar-free/#comment-933656) I’m so happy he loved it, Tiffany!

Used 2 x tablespoons of lemon juice and the rind/zest of x 4. Also added cocoa to make the base chocolate. Was beautifully caramelised around the edges and on top. Allowed to cool to room temp then refrigerated for a while, and then put in the freezer as I didn’t have 4 hours to chill.

The ricotta version was much better IMO, less heavy, more airy! I also added 2 tbsp of psyllium husk powder (dissolved in a little bit of heavy cream) to bind the almond flour. Otherwise this is great!! One request if I may: it would be great if you could addd metric measurements for your baking recipes. Baking is chemistry, so the ingredients should be measured accurately. One cup sugar is a very different weight from one cup flour, and nobody can measure for example ā€œ1/3 cup of butter solidā€). That would be super helpful\! - Maya \| Wholesome Yum [0]() Oct 5, 2025 [Reply](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/recipes/low-carb-cheesecake-keto-gluten-free-sugar-free/#comment-929243) Thank you for sharing, Jimi! I do have metric measurements for all my recipes — just flip the switch to metric on the recipe card above. Also, 1/3 cup butter = 5 1/3 tablespoons, so you can still measure that while solid. Just measure 5 tablespoon notches, plus another 1/3 of the next notch. Hope this helps. 48.

I don’t say this lightly. Since I first developed it back in 2017, it has become my \#1 impressive dessert for holidays, birthdays, and just about any occasion where I want to bring something to avoid the sugar. And even though it’s a low carb sugar-free cheesecake, it’s just as rich, sweet, and decadent as its sugar- and gluten-filled counterparts. Pinky promise. This keto cheesecake is also special to me because it marked the turning point when I defined my site as ā€œ10 ingredients or lessā€ and really started focusing on my readers. I know you love quick and easy [low carb recipes](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/recipe-index/) as much as I do, and I’m so grateful to share this journey with you. So, here’s a big thank you with my best gluten-free, low carb cheesecake recipe\! ## Why You’ll Love My Keto Cheesecake Recipe ![Maya in the kitchen.](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/wp-content/themes/wholesomeyum/images/maya-about-150x150.jpg) - **Indistinguishable from the real thing** – This cheesecake tastes so ā€œrealā€ that your friends and family will question that it’s sugar-free. I’ve had guests ask me for the recipe, thinking it was the traditional, sugar-packed version\! - **Creamy, dreamy filling** – The filling is just the right combo of smooth, creamy, and rich, with that slightly dense texture you expect from a classic cheesecake. It took me a few tries to get it just right, but oh, was it worth it\! - **Buttery shortbread crust** – I make the crust using almond flour, and it’s a lot like my [almond flour pie crust](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/recipes/almond-flour-pie-crust-recipe-paleo-low-carb-gluten-free/). It reminds me of [shortbread](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/almond-flour-cookies/)! But I also have other crust options for you below, including no crust at all if you prefer. - **Easy to make** – You only need 8 ingredients to make this beauty, including the crust *and* the filling! And the prep is so easy — I love that I can whip it up without any fuss, even on a busy day. - **Keto friendly, refined sugar free, and gluten free** – At only 6g total carbs and 5g [net carbs](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/how-to-calculate-net-carbs/) per slice, my low carb cheesecake is flexible enough for a [keto diet](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/low-carb-keto-diet-plan-how-to-start-a-low-carb-diet/), or for your diabetic friends or family. Or just make it if you simply want to reduce sugar in your life, as I do these days. And like all my recipes, it’s gluten-free, too. - **Hundreds of 5-star reviews** – Don’t just take my word for it! My easy keto cheesecake recipe has hundreds of reviews (see below), so you can be confident that it will turn out. Since so many people loved it, I also included it in my [Easy Keto Cookbook](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/cookbook/). (You’ll also find 100 of my other easy keto recipes in there, including 20 popular website faves and 80 exclusive ones.) ![Maya's signature.](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/wp-content/themes/wholesomeyum/images/maya-signature-130x70.png) ![Keto cheesecake recipe with almond flour, Besti sweetener, and Easy Keto Cookbook.](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/wholesomeyum-Low-Carb-Cheesecake-Recipe-Sugar-Free-Keto-Cheesecake-8.jpg) Here I explain the best ingredients for my keto cheesecake recipe, what each one does, and substitution options. For measurements, see the [recipe card](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/recipes/low-carb-cheesecake-keto-gluten-free-sugar-free/#jumptorecipe). ### For The Almond Flour Crust: - **Almond Flour** – I highly recommend using my [Wholesome Yum Blanched Almond Flour](https://www.wholesomeyumfoods.com/shop/flours/almond-flour/) here (and in other [keto baked goods](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/prep/baking/)), and not just because I made it. šŸ˜‰ I developed this one after years of low carb baking because I was tired of the coarse, gritty texture in other brands. (Almond meal is even worse.) Mine has the finest consistency out there, which will give you that shortbread texture you want. - **Butter** – Helps the crust stay together and imparts a buttery flavor. I recommend unsalted, though you can add a pinch of salt to the crust if you want to for balance. - **Granulated Sweetener** – Probably the number one question I get is about sweeteners. ā€œCan I make this keto cheesecake with stevia? Granulated erythritol? Monk fruit? [Sucralose](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/is-sucralose-keto/)? Something else?ā€ Here’s what you need to know: - **My top recommendation for the crust is [Besti Monk Fruit Allulose Blend](https://www.wholesomeyumfoods.com/shop/sweeteners/monk-fruit/monk-fruit-allulose-blend/).** It tastes just like sugar, with no aftertaste or cooling effect, and the crust doesn’t turn out as dry as with other sweeteners. - **Other [sugar substitutes](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/sugar-substitutes/) will work if that’s what you have.** Unlike the filling (below), the almond flour cheesecake crust is not finicky and will also work using erythritol, xylitol, or an erythritol blend (most brands of monk fruit or stevia are actually blended with erythritol). Check my [sweetener conversion chart](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/natural-low-carb-sweeteners-guide-conversion-chart/) for amounts to use if you choose something other than Besti. - **Powdered sweetener is also fine for the crust** (if you just want to buy fewer products), but otherwise it has no advantage for the crust. - **Don’t use liquid or concentrated sweeteners (like pure stevia or pure monk fruit).** Both will make the crust too runny. - **Vanilla Extract** – Not strictly required, but I highly recommend including it! I like [this vanilla extract brand](https://amzn.to/3Jt9M7P), which is great quality and has zero sugar. ![Crust Variations:](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/icon-variations-white.svg) ### Crust Variations: Many people ask if they can make my low carb cheesecake with a different crust, or no crust at all. You can! Here’s how: - **Coconut flour cheesecake crust** – If you need a nut-free option, you can use coconut flour instead of almond flour, but it’s not a 1:1 replacement. To use coconut flour, you’ll need 1 1/2 cups of coconut flour, 1/2 cup of coconut oil or butter, 4 large eggs, and 2 tablespoons of Besti. - **Crustless cheesecake** – Feel free to skip the crust altogether! Just pour the filling directly into the pan and bake as usual. I always line the pan with parchment paper, but it’s *extra* important for this version to prevent sticking. - **Substitute other nut flours** – For the best texture in your keto cheesecake crust, I recommend leaving some of the blanched almond flour in the crust, but you can replace 1/4 to 1/2 of it with ground macadamia nuts or pecans if you like. - **Substitutes for butter** – I prefer the flavor and consistency of the crust with butter, but unrefined coconut oil or ghee would also work fine instead. I don’t recommend using oils that are liquid at room temperature, such as olive or avocado oil. - **Mini size** – If you want more portion-controlled servings, try my [keto mini cheesecakes](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/keto-mini-cheesecake/) (in a muffin tin) or my even smaller [keto cheesecake bites](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/low-carb-keto-cheesecake-bites-recipe/) (in a mini one). ### For The Sugar-Free Cheesecake Filling: - **Cream Cheese** – The base of the filling! Use plain, full-fat cream cheese for the best flavor, texture, and [keto macros](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/what-are-macros/). However, from a recipe standpoint, low-fat or neufchatel cream cheese would work fine. (You can read about other cream cheese substitutes on my [cream cheese recipes](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/tag/cream-cheese/) page.) It’s also very important that you use **softened cream cheese** (at room temperature), otherwise your filling will have little chunks of cream cheese instead of a smooth batter. I also have a variation using Greek yogurt — see my [healthy cheesecake recipe](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/healthy-cheesecake/). - **[Besti Powdered Monk Fruit Allulose Blend](https://www.wholesomeyumfoods.com/shop/sweeteners/monk-fruit/monk-fruit-allulose-blend-powdered/)** – For the filling, powdered sweetener is a must; don’t use granulated, liquid, or super concentrated versions. The sweetener provides some bulk in the keto cheesecake, and the powdered consistency is required so that the end result is not grainy. Most brands of cup-for-cup-like-sugar powdered sweeteners work okay, but **I highly recommend using Besti Powdered if you can, because it creates the creamiest texture**. Others tend to be more dry and can crystallize. I’ve definitely noticed a difference in how smooth it is when using Besti, compared to the other brands I used to use for this recipe. - **Eggs** – These help the filling set up and also give it a creamy texture. Sorry, there is no substitution for them. If you can’t have eggs, make my [keto no bake cheesecake](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/no-bake-keto-cheesecake/) instead. - **Lemon Juice** – Helps bring out the sweetness and flavor. It’s not enough to make the sugar-free cheesecake lemony, so don’t worry about that if you’re not a fan of lemon — you’ll still want to include the lemon juice in the filling. - **Vanilla Extract** – Use the same one you used for the crust. ![VARIATION: Add sour cream\!](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/icon-variations-white.svg) **VARIATION: Add sour cream\!** If you want a richer, creamier New York style low carb cheesecake, add 1/4 cup of sour cream right before you beat in the eggs. ![Labeled bowls of almond flour, cream cheese, butter, eggs, Besti sweeteners, lemon, and vanilla to make the recipe.](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/wholesomeyum-Keto-Cheesecake-Recipe-Low-Carb-Sugar-Free-Cheesecake-1.jpg) I have step-by-step photos here to help you visualize the recipe. For full instructions, including amounts and temperatures, see the [recipe card below](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/recipes/low-carb-cheesecake-keto-gluten-free-sugar-free/#jumptorecipe). If we want to make our keto cheesecake taste like the real thing, we’re going to have to make it using the same method as the real thing! šŸ˜‰ For the most part, my method here is very similar to a regular one: - **Get everything ready.** Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line the bottom of a [9-inch springform pan](https://amzn.to/3JwiK4s) with parchment paper. - **Mix the dough.** In a medium to large bowl, stir the almond flour, melted butter, Besti, and vanilla extract, until well combined. The dough will be slightly crumbly. - **Bake.** Press the crust mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake your low carb cheesecake crust for about 10 minutes, until barely golden. - **Cool.** Set the crust aside to cool for at least 10 minutes. Make the filling while you wait\! - **Beat the cream cheese and Besti.** Using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer at medium speed, beat the cream cheese and powdered Besti, until fluffy. This is where room-temperature cream cheese is crucial\! - **Add the eggs.** Beat in the eggs, one at a time. - **Add the lemon juice and vanilla.** Beat them in at the end. ![TIP: Keep your mixer at medium speed the whole time.](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/icon-tips-white.png) **TIP: Keep your mixer at medium speed the whole time.** Too-high speed will introduce too many air bubbles, which we don’t want. - **Add the filling to the crust.** Pour the filling mixture into the pan over the crust. Smooth the top with a spatula. (I use a [pastry spatula like this](https://amzn.to/3eyRyEA) for a smoother top.) ![TIP: Tap the pan on the counter to remove air bubbles.](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/icon-tips-white.png) **TIP: Tap the pan on the counter to remove air bubbles.** This is not required, but if you want a denser result without air pockets, this can help release some bubbles. - **Bake.** Place the keto cheesecake in the oven and bake until the center is almost set, but still jiggly. (If you are concerned about cracking, see my troubleshooting tips below!) ![IMPORTANT: Do not wait for the filling to set completely\!](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/icon-tips-white.png) **IMPORTANT: Do not wait for the filling to set completely\!** Remove it from the oven when it’s still jiggly. It will set more as it cools on the counter and then in the fridge overnight. - **Cool.** Remove the cake from the oven. If the edges are stuck to the pan, run a knife all the way around (but don’t remove the springform edge yet). Let it cool in the pan on the counter, until it reaches room temperature. - **Chill.** Cover the sugar-free cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate until completely set. (Do not try to remove the cake from the pan or slice before chilling.) Once set, I slice it with a sharp knife, and wipe with a damp paper towel between cuts. ![Classic keto cheesecake with a slice removed.](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/wholesomeyum-Low-Carb-Cheesecake-Recipe-Sugar-Free-Keto-Cheesecake-21.jpg) This classic keto cheesecake is already so decadent plain, but I love it even more with one of these toppings: - **Raspberry Sauce** – This is hands down my favorite topping, and yes, it’s the one you see in the pictures here! You can find my detailed recipe in my [Easy Keto Cookbook](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/cookbook/), but all you really do is simmer raspberries with [Powdered Besti](https://www.wholesomeyumfoods.com/shop/sweeteners/monk-fruit/monk-fruit-allulose-blend-powdered/), mashing them as they soften, until they turn into this gorgeous sauce. - **Melted Chocolate** – You can use my [sugar-free chocolate sauce](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/sugar-free-chocolate-syrup/), or just melt down some sugar-free chocolate chips ([this brand is my favorite](https://amzn.to/3YjE3kk), we go through bags of them at my house!). - **Whipped Cream** – Can’t go wrong with a dollop of my homemade [sugar-free whipped cream](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/sugar-free-whipped-cream/) for the perfect light, fluffy finish\! - **Caramel Sauce** – A drizzle of my [sugar-free caramel sauce](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/recipes/sugar-free-caramel-sauce-recipe-low-carb-keto/) is my second-favorite after the raspberry sauce above. I also have a caramel-topped keto cheesecake recipe made into cupcakes in my second book, [The Easy Keto Carboholics’ Cookbook](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/keto-carbs-cookbook/). - **Fresh Berries** – All berries are keto, but you can check my [keto fruit guide](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/keto-fruit/) for more detailed carb counts. ![2 slices of keto cheesecake on plates with forks, and Besti sweetener in the background.](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/wholesomeyum-Low-Carb-Cheesecake-Recipe-Sugar-Free-Keto-Cheesecake-10.jpg) ![Troubleshooting Sugar-Free Cheesecake](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/icon-question-white.png) ## Troubleshooting Sugar-Free Cheesecake You shouldn’t have any problems with my recipe if you follow the instructions, but here are the most common mistakes I see people make that you can watch out for: - **Cracking Or Settling** – Most often, this is caused by sudden temperature changes. Make sure the cake cools on the counter before refrigerating. Mine doesn’t usually crack, but if you want to be on the safe side, you can bake your low carb cheesecake in a water bath. Line the outside of the pan with foil to keep moisture out, pour a little water into a bigger pan, and place the foil lined pan inside. Then bake. I usually skip this step for convenience, but you can try it if you have problems with cracking. Worst case, if you do have cracks, add some berry or caramel topping to hide them — problem fixed\! - **Gritty Filling** – This can happen if you use the wrong sweetener. Use [Besti Powdered](https://www.wholesomeyumfoods.com/shop/sweeteners/monk-fruit/monk-fruit-allulose-blend-powdered/) for smooth results. - **Runny Filling** – Underbaking can leave the filling runny, but more often than not, people reporting this have missed the step of cooling and refrigerating. This is required to fully set the filling. - **Dry or Crumbly Filling** – This is a result of overcooking the cheesecake (and can also be another reason for cracks). Remember to remove it from the oven when it’s still jiggly, *not* fully set. When cooked properly, it should set only *after* cooling and chilling. - **Carb Count Differences** – Many online calculators get the nutrition information wrong for my keto cheesecake. This is because most don’t recognize that Besti can be excluded from carb count (this really adds up!), and rounding errors are common for cream cheese. Most nutrition labels round up or down to the nearest whole amount of carbs, but the serving is only an ounce. Since my sugar-free cheesecake recipe calls for 32 ounces of cream cheese, rounding up makes a big difference! My recipe card below uses the exact carb count directly from the USDA National Nutrient Database, which is most accurate. My full [keto food list](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/low-carb-keto-food-list/) has those values for all the major low carb foods, or you can find them in the Wholesome Yum App on [iPhone](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/wholesome-yum/id1527773228) or [Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wholesomeyum.easyketoapp). ![Slice of sugar-free cheesecake with berries and the whole cake in the background.](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/wholesomeyum-Low-Carb-Cheesecake-Recipe-Sugar-Free-Keto-Cheesecake-27.jpg) - **Store:** Yes, you can make this cake ahead! After the initial chilling time, keep it in the fridge for up to 3-5 days. Moving it can be tricky, so I usually keep it on the bottom of the springform pan without the sides, and cover it in plastic to prevent drying out. - **Freeze:** This sugar-free cheesecake freezes beautifully, as long as you let it set first. For best results, place it into the freezer uncovered (on a parchment lined baking sheet) for several hours first, until solid. (I prefer doing it this way so that I don’t crush it while wrapping.) Once solid, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, followed by a layer of aluminum foil, and then place back into the freezer. If you prefer, you can freeze individual slices instead, but just like a whole cake, they are still easier to wrap after freezing solid first. The texture is best within 1 month, but up to 3 months is okay. - **Thaw:** You can thaw the cake in the fridge overnight, or on the counter for 2-4 hours. I remove the foil before thawing, but it’s fine to leave the plastic on. - **[Hand Mixer](https://amzn.to/3GJ7K1N)** – Mine has variable speeds, which is particularly useful for cheesecakes where high speed introduces too many air bubbles. And the best part? I can store all its attachments right in the base, so no more hunting around in drawers! (But if you’re not up for holding a mixer for a while, go with a [stand mixer](https://amzn.to/3EJNvTN) instead.) - [**Springform Pan**](https://amzn.to/3JwiK4s) – If you’re making any kind of low carb cheesecake, you’ve gotta have a springform pan like this one. Trying to get one out of a regular cake pan is just asking for trouble. Some readers have asked about using a pie pan — I haven’t tested this, but you’d probably need less filling. - [**Pastry Spatula**](https://amzn.to/3eyRyEA) – This little tool is a lifesaver for getting the top of your cheesecake perfectly smooth. I also use it for frosting my other [keto cakes](https://www.wholesomeyum.com/recipes/gluten-free-birthday-cake-low-carb-keto/)\! **RECIPE SAVED\!** The recipe was sent to your email.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C). Line a [9-inch (23-cm) springform pan](https://amzn.to/3uFEAOE) with parchment paper. 2. To make the almond flour cheesecake crust, stir the almond flour, melted butter, Besti, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl, until well combined. The dough will be slightly crumbly. 3. Press the dough into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for about 10-12 minutes, until barely golden. Let cool at least 10 minutes. #### Keto Cheesecake Filling: 1. Meanwhile, beat the cream cheese and powdered sweetener together at low to medium speed until fluffy. 2. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. 3. Beat in the lemon juice and vanilla extract. (Keep the mixer at low to medium the whole time; too high speed will introduce too many air bubbles, which we don't want.) #### Assembly: 1. Pour the filling into the pan over the crust. Smooth the top with a spatula (use an [icing spatula](https://amzn.to/33bsmSu) for a smoother top if you have one). If you want to ensure no air bubbles, tap the pan on the counter several times. 2. Bake for about 40-55 minutes, until the center is almost set, but still jiggly. 3. Remove the cheesecake from the oven. If the edges are stuck to the pan, run a knife around the edge (don't remove the springform edge yet). Cool in the pan on the counter to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight), until completely set. (Do not try to remove the cake from the pan before chilling.) ### Did You Like It?
