    The Keto Cheesecake No One Knows is Keto

    Jennifer standing in her kitchen

    If you're looking for a keto cheesecake that tastes just like the real thing, this is it. It's thick, rich, and creamy with the same texture as a classic cheesecake. Some people even use it as a birthday cake.

    The only real difference between a traditional cheesecake and this keto version is the ingredients. I swap the sugar for a low-carb sweetener and use an almond flour crust to keep it gluten free and keto-friendly. The result is a cheesecake that has all the flavor and texture you expect, with only 5 net carbs per slice.

    I wanted a low carb cheesecake that was simple to make, super creamy, and didn't require a water bath or any complicated ingredients. This recipe checks all of those boxes.

    This recipe is also flexible. You can make a full-size cheesecake or cut the filling in half for a smaller version during the week. If you want more options, you might also like my keto cheesecake fluff, keto mini cheesecake bites, or my no bake keto cheesecake.

    Ingredients for the crust

    You only need a few simple ingredients to make a rich, creamy keto cheesecake. Each one plays an important role in getting that classic cheesecake texture without the sugar.

    This recipe uses easy-to-find, low carb ingredients you may already have in your kitchen. I've also included a few swap options so you can adjust based on what you have or your preferences. If you prefer a crustless cheesecake, I've included instructions for that further down in the post as well.

    1 ½ cups almond flour or almond meal (168g) - instead of graham cracker crumbs, we need almond flour for our cheesecake crust to make it keto.  You could also use sunflower seed flour if you need a nut free version.

    ¼ cup powdered sweetener (48g) - I use the Lakanto powdered sweetener for the crust recipe.  It is an Erythritol and monk fruit sweetener blend. You could also use any version of your favorite keto sweetener that is a 1 for 1 swap for sugar.

    1 teaspoon cinnamon - This gives our crust that graham cracker flavor.

    6 tablespoons butter, melted (84g) - Butter helps bind everything together.  I use salted so I don't have to add any additional salt to the crust. You could also use coconut oil.

    Ingredients for keto cheesecake filling

    48 ounces full fat cream cheese, room temperature (1361g) - Yes, that would be 6 blocks of cream cheese that are 8 ounces each. Having room temperature ingredients for any cheesecake is really important so your keto cheesecake isn't lumpy. I know this seems like a lot of cream cheese, but this is for a show stopping keto cheesecake and remember, I give instructions for ½ the size down below.

    2 cups powdered sweetener (384g) - we're using powdered so our cheesecake isn't gritty.

    5 large eggs, room temperature - yes, even the eggs need to be room temperature.

    8 ounces full fat sour cream, room temperature (227g)

    1 tablespoon vanilla extract

    How to make keto cheesecake without a water bath

    This section explains how to make this low carb cheesecake recipe step by step. For a full printable recipe, see the recipe card below.

    The most important thing you should know when it comes to making a creamy cheesecake is that all of your ingredients should be at room temperature.  I cannot stress this enough.  Anything that is refrigerated should be left out for at least 4 hours.  That means eggs, sour cream, and cream cheese.

    Submerging your eggs in warm water will help speed up the process, as will unwrapping and chopping your cream cheese into smaller pieces.

    Tip: This makes a thick keto cheesecake so make sure your spring form pan is 10 inches (24cm) by 3 inches (8cm). I also give instructions for a smaller cheesecake in the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

    flattening cheesecake crust in a springform pan

    Step 1 - Pre-heat the oven to 325F (162C) and make sure the oven rack is in the center of the oven.  Combine all of the dry crust ingredients in a medium mixing bowl.  Now mix in the butter and stir until everything is combined.  Pour the crust ingredients into the springform pan and press halfway up the sides using your fingers.  I like to use a flat bottomed cup to get the crust completely even.  Now we need to bake the keto cheesecake crust for 5-8 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.

    Note: baking the crust is a change from my original recipe.

    low carb cheesecake batter

    Step 2 (Make the filling) - We need a large bowl and were going to beat all of the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer or stand mixer (paddle attachment) until it is light and fluffy.  We're going to add in the sweetener ⅓ at a time and mix until the sweetener is fully incorporated.  Now we add in each egg one at a time until they are incorporated.  Finally, add in the vanilla and sour cream and stir for just a few seconds more.  Don't over mix as this will incorporate too much air and your cheesecake could crack. The keto cheesecake batter is done!

    cheesecake in a springform pan

    Step 3 - Pour the low carb cheesecake batter into the crust and even out the top.  Now we need to bake it in the oven for 50 minutes.  The top should no longer be glossy and the center will still be jiggly when it is ready.  Turn off the oven and crack the oven door.  Let the cheesecake sit in the oven for 30 minutes.  Remove the cheesecake from the oven, run a sharp knife between the cheesecake and the sides of the pan (do not remove the springform).   Let the cheesecake cool on the counter for 1 hour.

    How to tell when cheesecake is done (avoid overbaking)

    Everyone has ovens that perform differently.  Your cheesecake is finished baking when the edges are set and the center is still jiggly.

    Here is a less than 1 minute video showing how to know if your cheesecake is cooked: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hadmpW_hASs

    Why did my cheesecake crack?

    Cheesecake cracks are very common, and most of the time it comes down to one thing: too much heat or sudden temperature changes.

    The main reason a cheesecake cracks is overbaking. When the cheesecake cooks too long, it dries out and the top starts to split as it cools. The center should still have a slight jiggle when you take it out of the oven.

    Another common cause is baking at too high of a temperature. Cheesecake needs gentle, even heat. If the oven is too hot, the outside cooks too quickly while the inside is still setting, which leads to cracks.

    Cooling too quickly can also cause cracking. Taking the cheesecake straight out of the oven and exposing it to cooler air can make it contract too fast. That sudden change is enough to create cracks on the surface.

    The good news is that cracks don't affect the taste at all. Your cheesecake will still be rich, creamy, and delicious. And if you want to cover it up, you can always add whipped cream, berries, or a drizzle of chocolate on top.

    How to fix a cracked cheesecake

    If your cheesecake cracked, don't worry. It's still perfectly good to eat and just as creamy and delicious.

    The easiest way to fix a cracked cheesecake is to cover it. Once it has completely cooled, you can top it with whipped cream, fresh berries, or even a drizzle of chocolate or caramel. This hides the cracks and makes it look even more appealing.

    If you want a smoother finish, you can also gently spread a thin layer of whipped cream or frosting over the top to cover the surface.

    For small cracks, sometimes you can disguise them by lightly pressing the edges together while the cheesecake is still slightly warm, but this doesn't always work and isn't necessary.

    At the end of the day, cracks are just cosmetic. The texture and flavor are still exactly what you want, so don't overthink it.

    How to freeze cheesecake

    This is a large keto cheesecake but good news, it freezes very well!  You can freeze individual slices or the whole cake...or half of the cake!

    This is a good reference for freezing a whole cheesecake

    To freeze individual slices, simply slice the pieces of cheesecake and place them on individual pieces of plastic wrap.  Wrap them tight, place in a freezer bag or bowl, and store them in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.  Any longer than 2 weeks and they will lose quality.

    How to make a nut-free cheesecake crust

    If you are intolerant to nuts, you can simply make this a crustless cheesecake (instruction in the recipe card) or you can use sunflower seed flour in place of the almond flour.  They are a 1 for 1 swap for each other so it will work perfectly.

    How to make a smaller keto cheesecake

    To make a smaller keto cheesecake, you would use the same ingredients for the crust, but you would cut all of the filling ingredients in half and use 3 eggs.  

    During the baking process, check on your cheesecake at the 30 minute mark and keep an eye on it.  It will be ready when the edges are set but the center is still jiggly.

    How to make a crustless cheesecake

    If you want to skip the crust, you can easily turn this into a crustless keto cheesecake. The filling works perfectly on its own and still comes out thick, creamy, and rich.

    To make it crustless, simply prepare the cheesecake filling as directed and pour it directly into a greased or parchment-lined springform pan or baking dish. Bake using the same instructions.

    Because there's no crust, be sure to let the cheesecake cool completely before removing it from the pan so it holds its shape.

    A crustless version is a great option if you want to save time, reduce ingredients, or keep the carbs even lower.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How many carbs are in keto cheesecake?

    This cheesecake has about 5 net carbs per slice, depending on how you cut it and the exact ingredients you use.

    Can I make cheesecake ahead of time?

    Yes. This low carb cheesecake is actually better when made ahead. Let it cool, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best texture.

    Do I need a water bath?

    No. This recipe is designed to be made without a water bath and still come out creamy and smooth.

    What is the best sweetener for keto cheesecake?

    A granulated low carb sweetener like erythritol, monk fruit blend, or allulose works best. Allulose will give you the smoothest texture with no graininess.

    Why is my keto cheesecake grainy?

    This usually comes from the sweetener. Some sugar substitutes don't dissolve as well. Using powdered sweetener or allulose can help prevent this.

    Can I use a different crust?

    Yes. While almond flour crust is the most common, you can use a nut-free crust or skip the crust entirely and make it crustless.

    How do I know when cheesecake is done?

    The edges should be set, but the center should still have a slight jiggle. It will continue to firm up as it cools.

    How long does cheesecake last in the fridge?

    Store your low carb cheesecake covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

    Can you freeze keto cheesecake?

    Yes. Cheesecake freezes very well. Wrap slices individually and store in an airtight container for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving.

    Course Dessert
    Cuisine American

    Ingredients

    For the crust
    • 1 ½ Cups almond flour (click to see my favorite)
    • ¼ Cup Powdered Sweetener (click to see my favorite)
    • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
    • 6 Tablespoons Butter, melted
    For the filling
    • 48 ounces full fat cream cheese, room temperature
    • 2 Cups Powdered Sweetener (click to see my favorite)
    • 5 Large Eggs room temperature
    • 8 Ounces Sour Cream room temperature
    • 1 Tablespoon Vanilla extract

    Equipment

    • Springform Pan 10 inches (24cm) by 3 inches (8cm)

    Method

    1. Pre-heat the oven to 325F (160C).  Adjust the rack to the middle of the oven.  Combine the crust dry ingredients in a medium bowl.  Mix in the butter.  Pour the crust mixture into the springform pan and press halfway up the sides using your fingers.  Use a flat bottomed cup to press the mixture into the bottom.  Bake for 5-8 minutes. Remove and set aside while you make the creamy filling.
    2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the room temperature cream cheese with a hand mixer until light and fluffy.  If you use a stand mixer use the paddle attachment.  
    3. Add in the sweetener a little at a time (about ⅓) and beat with the hand mixer.  
    4. Add in the room temperature eggs one at a time and beat until well incorporated.
    5. Finally, add in the vanilla and room temperature sour cream and beat until just incorporated.
    6. Pour the cheesecake mixture into the crust and even out the top.  Bake in the pre-heated oven.  Check after 50 minutes.  The top should no longer be glossy and the center should still be jiggly.  
    7. Turn off the oven and crack the door.  Let the cheesecake sit in the oven for 30 minutes.  Remove the cheesecake from the oven run a sharp paring knife between the cheesecake and the pan (this is to ensure the cake doesn't stick.  Do not remove the springform).  Let sit on the counter for 1 hour.
    8. Cover loosely with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 8 hours.  
    9. Remove the springform pan sides, decorate the top, and serve.  Makes 12 slices.

    Notes

    • Make a smaller keto cheesecake - You would use the same ingredients for the crust, but you would cut all of the filling ingredients in half and use 3 eggs.  During the baking process, check on your cheesecake at the 30 minute mark and keep an eye on it.  It will be ready when the edges are set but the center is still jiggly.
    • Nut free version: If you are intolerant to almonds, you can do a 1 for 1 swap with sunflower seed flour!  
    • Pan size: This keto cheesecake recipe requires a large springform pan.  I have linked to one in the recipe carb above.  If you use one that is too small, you will have leftover filling.
    • Crustless low carb cheesecake: To make this without a crust, line the inside of the springform pan with parchment paper.  You can also butter the sides and bottom really well.  Then continue with the cheesecake as normal.
    • Keto pumpkin cheesecake: Simply replace the sour cream with pumpkin puree and add in 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice.
    • Very important: The most important thing you should know when it comes to making a traditional cheesecake is that all of your ingredients should be at room temperature.  Anything that is refrigerated should be left out for at least 2 hours, preferably 4.  That means eggs, sour cream, and cream cheese.  Submerging your eggs in warm water will help speed up the process of bringing the ingredients to room temperature, as will unwrapping and chopping your cream cheese into smaller pieces.
    • Freezing: This is a large keto cheesecake but good news, it freezes very well!  You can freeze individual slices or the whole cake...or half of the cake!
      • This is a good reference for freezing a whole cheesecake
      • To freeze individual slices, simply slice the pieces of cheesecake and place them on individual pieces of plastic wrap.  Wrap them tight, place in a freezer bag or bowl, and store them in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.  Any longer than 2 weeks and they will lose quality.

      Ohmygosh! So, I went ahead and made the cheesecake, and I myst've done someca little off because, justvlijecsomeonecelse said, I ended upbwith way more cream cheese and it rose over the top. I think I must've beat it too long in the stand mixer and let too much air in it or something. But I didn't end up with a mess. My springfirm pan is a rare ival-shaoed 12x4 so I was able to get all of the filling into the pan. It did crack a little. But all of this was due to mecfiguring out how to work with my very first ever cheesecake. As for the flavor and texture? It tasted loje it came from a fancy vrestaurant! It was not dense like a NY cheesecake. It was more light and airy. But OMG! It is absolutely amazing! I will definitely make it from now on when I want cheescake, and I'll keep practicing until I get it. It was perfect all by itself, but Iadded a little blueberry sauce I made to go with it. Yum! ?

          You could put the batter in muffin cups 3/4 full and bake. I would check them after 15 minutes. This recipe would make a lot of cheesecake muffins so you can store the batter in the fridge between bakes, or cut the recipe in half.

      I made this while visiting with family this week. It was a huge success. Leaving it alone while it is in the fridge for 8 hours is not easy, but you will be rewarded if you do. 4 hours is just not long enough to get the best taste and texture. Don't get me wrong! It is still very good after 3 hours (ask me how I know), but at least 8 is best!Thank you for providing this scrumptious recipe.

        I did the same thing and ended up with too much. But mine still came out very lovely. My future mother-in-law suggested that if I end up with too much next time, just fill the pan a bit less than I did this time to give the filling room to rise and freeze the rest to maje mini cakes later on. I think next time I'll measure out my eggs (iIhave eggs from our backyard chickens and they get huge) to make sure they measure 1/4 cup. I have had too much egg. Also, maybe I won't beat tge cream cheese quite as long before afdding tge other ingredients. I was really trying to get it light and fluffy lije the instructiona said. So, I'll mix tge blocks just until they're combined, then add tge itger ingredients exactly as instructed like before. Is it possible you beat tge vream cheese too much before adding everything else?

I don't see a carb count on this recipe (am I misding something?). If. This is tge actual carb count, there's no way it can be considered low carb, much less keto. I hope this is not the case, because ai looked up alot of recipes, hoping to find one that wasn't too complicated, because I'vrle never made cheesecake before and it's one of my few absolutely favorite desserts.

      How is this only seven net carbs? I added up all the ingredients in the under armor app, fitness pal, and it has added up to 17 Net carbs per slice ( which is much better than regular cheesecake but still pretty high if you’re trying to get into ketosis). Can you explain how you got seven net carbs.

      This came out well. And I'm glad because this cheesecake costs $35+ to make. I gave it a try because of how much my husband loves cheesecake and the fact it freezes alright so he can have servings for a long time otherwise I think he'd be SOL for cheesecake on keto diet lol

      I loved this recipe. Made it and my husband couldn’t believe it was sugar free! If I wanted to make mini’s in cupcake pan , what would you suggest as bake time?

        You can throw granulated Swerve or erythritol in your coffee grinder to make it into confectioner's. Super easy!

      Have this in the oven right now. However, my springform pan must not be as high as yours as I have a lot of filling left over.

      How long will this last in the fridge? Would love to use the leftover for another cheesecake, once my springform pan is empty of this one.

      Jennifer thank you so much for this recipe : ) so very delicious and I can't believe i'm allowed to eat it on the keto diet. I can't express how wonderful it really is. It reminds me so much of a FRIENDS episode "The one with all the cheesecakes" the best cheesecake I ever had. You know the one? from Mama's little bakery , Chicago, Illinois. It's so light and so creamy. I think this really is the best cheesecake I ever had! Can't wait to try more of your recipes! p.s Amazon delivered the lakanto powdered monkfruit sweetener I used and the blanched almond flour was from H&B here in the UK .

      Super good!! I was so surprised how good it was, since it is low carb. I did end up throwing at least a quarter of the filling out cause it wouldn’t fit in the pan. Next time I think I’ll half the recipe. Will definitely be making it again though. It would be really good as a lemon cheesecake.

          While the flavor is great and delicious; I do have some reservations about doing this again. I followed the recipe exactly; the center of the cheesecake was still slightly runny. Yes; I did bake it longer and continued to keep an eye on it. I eventually baked it to the point that the outside cracked and was brown, this is. It a deal breaker for me as I like my cheesecake to have a little color on the top. Yet, the center was still runny. I would suggest doing without the sour cream and maybe forgoing two bricks of cream cheese and maybe one or two eggs. It’s worth mentioning I live in Florida where it is extremely humid and super close to sea level where baking is very different. I’ll give an ups date on my next venture with Keto Cheesecake and make it right for us Florida folks.

        I have mine in the oven now. I used the monk fruit granulated sweater I just ran it in my quisinart for a bit then added the eggs and sour cream and extract. Then let that sit for a few minutes to help the sugar resolve. I think it worked out. I’ll let you know ?

      Made this last night. Stayed up after bedtime to do it right. Turned out perfectly! Not too sweet at all, I even added a half cup more of powdered erythritol because I wanted it a tad sweeter than what it was. Like others, I couldn't fit it all into my springform pan, so now I'll make mini cheesecakes...not a bad problem to have! Thank you for the recipe!
