    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.

    Servings 12
    Course Dessert
    Cuisine American

    Ingredients

    For the crust
    • 1 ½ Cups almond flour (see my favorite on Amazon)
    • ¼ Cup Powdered Sweetener (Clicke here to see my favorite on Amazon)
    • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
    • 6 Tablespoons Butter, melted
    For the filling
    • 48 ounces full fat cream cheese, room temperature
    • 2 Cups Powdered Sweetener (Clicke here to see my favorite on Amazon)
    • 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.

      Hi Jennifer,
      Great recipe. I've made it a few times and it comes out great. However, and this is a big however. Your affiliate link for the pan is not something I would recommend. Nothing to do with you, but people are trusting your recommendation and in all honesty it is a sub par springform pan that I got damaged and was overpriced for the shoddy quality even if it had been in pristine condition.

      Great recipe. Used other pans to make.

      I made this cheesecake over the weekend & it was wonderful. I didn't see the revised instructions to use a 10" spring form pan until after I made it, but it still turned out great. I am not getting the same nutrition numbers as you though, including coming up with a net carb of 5g. Even the fat number is higher. The sugar substitute is coming up with 0 carbs on my carb manager, so it isn't the xylitol that you mentioned to other inquiries. I used the original bricks of Philadelphia cream cheese, so that has less than 1 gram per serving. I also used full fat Daisy sour cream. What brand did you use? I would like to get specific details because I really really like this recipe, but it seems to good to be true to continue making. Please give us more details!! Thanks!

      OMGsh!! I just recently found this channel as my family and I just started Keto officially on December 1st. This recipe is absolutely amazing! It totally deserves 10 stars!! I really wanted something sweet for the holiday that tasted like the junk we lived on prior to changing our way of eating. The cinnamon in the crust made it even tastier than the graham crust we have always enjoyed. Thank you for this blog, your videos, and this recipe!! This is my new go-to site. 🙂

      Of all the keto cheesecakes I've made, this is my favorite recipe. The crust is to die for (buttery AND cinnamon-y) and it's super easy. I served it at Thanksgiving and even the picky, carb-eating people took extra slices home with them. A few modifications I make: I use a 9" springform pan with the FULL crust recipe but only HALF the filling recipe. For me this makes the perfect ratio. I also sometimes use Swerve brown sugar blend in the crust for some extra depth of flavor. For the filling, I use Lakanto powdered monkfruit sweetener. Happy baking, y'all!

      I use Xylitol. Powdered is really hard to find and expensive so I just make it to powder in my Bullet (spice grinder would work) and I much prefer the taste. Monkfruit etc all have an aftertaste that I cannot get over! PS: Lemon zest is a must 🙂

          Made this for Thankagiving. Having never made a cheesecake in my life I wasn't sure what I was getting myself into. First one cracked in half when I picked it up lol. Made another and cooked it 43 minutes and left it in oven 15 with the door cracked, it was perfect. I also used a food processor the second time around because I think I beat the first one too much. Put all ingredients in and put the processor on medium. It was delicious and my social media following watched the first disaster happen although the cracked one tastes great today, they were cheering for me and my cheesecake insanity.

      If I half the cream cheese filling, how long do I cook it for? There was way too much filling last time I made this. Thank you!

        The filling is enough for a 10 inch springform pan like I linked to in the recipe card. If you cut the amount in half, I am not sure on the cooking time but I would check it after 30 minutes.

          It's about 45 minutes, if you make this for 2/3rds of the recipe. I don't own a springform pan, and was ready to bake. My 8" dark metal pie pan, coated in lard, was perfect.

          (Plus, it's just one person here eating the cheesecake. LOL)

          Crust alternative: I can't eat almonds and many other flours are pricy, so I went with coconut flour (about 1 cup; and upped the liquid and sour cream guesstimates to compensate); also left out the cinnamon in the crust.

          So delicious, thank you!!

      I made this cheesecake yesterday and we had a slice today. I thought it was fantastic and my fiancee paid me the biggest compliment which "this is the type of desserts I like and they are good for me" he doesn't like the keto dessert Ive made in the past.

      I definitely be making this again and keeping it in my repertoire for daily and special occasion use.

        If I use Lankanto Monkfruit Sweetener (2:1 powdered Sugar Substitute), should I use half the amount that you used for this recipe? Its supposed to be 2 times sweeter than swerve and regular powdered sugar.

If I had not made this myself, I would not have known it was sugar-free. Excellent Recipe. Next, I am going to make the Pumpkin version!! Your site rocks, Jennifer!!

        Just divide the batter in half and use 1/2 the batter on the bottom. Mix pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice with the other half, then spoon out on top.

      This tastes amazing!! I underbaked it so it’s backIn the oven but...

      Question... do you know how many cups of filling this recipe makes? I had too much for my pan so I made crustless minis in a cupcake tin and I’m trying to figure out the new carb count for each one... which I can figure out if I had count total cups but I had already filled the crust and it was too late... ??‍♀️ So I wasn’t sure if you knew

        Coconut flour would work but the amount would be a guess. You want it to have the same consistency as the crust I made so you may need to add more butter.

      In a word AWESOME!!! Five stars is not enough. My son was just diagnosed with diabetes this week and I had them over today for his 42nd birthday. He wanted cheesecake so I decided to give this recipe a try. I have been known for years for my delicious cheesecake, so I was a little apprehensive about trying something different. To say it was a hit is an understatement. My husband will not touch anything low cal, low fat low carb.....................HE even liked it. am so pleased with this recipe. I don't know if I did something wrong, but it made way to much filling for one cheesecake pan. I have some small individual pans so I made four of those and I STILL had filling left.My recipe I usually use calls for you to beat it for 15 minutes, so I did beat it for longer than the recipe says (but only 5 minutes). I don't know if that made it "fluff" up more or what. Not exactly a problem. Honestly I can't stress enough how fabulous this was. Thanks, Jennifer!!!

      Can you use Splenda confectioners sweetener instead or monkfruit sweetner? That's what I have in my pantry. If I half the recipe will it be ok? Seems like a lot of cheesecake for my family. I just started keto last Monday and I really miss eating sweets. Thanks so much! Looking forward to making this.

          yes! If you are using the powdered Lakanto you will need to use less. Start with half and taste the batter before you add the eggs.

      I only had an 8" pan so cut the recipe in half and it was amazing! Well, I cut the filling in half, I still made the whole crust because you can't have too much crust lol. I made this for my family and in-laws and everyone raved about it, saying it was the best cheesecake they've ever had. I will definitely make this again!! So so yummy. I also made a Keto raspberry topping to go over it and it was delicious.

      This is a great tasting cheesecake and I would definitely make it again. However, the first one I followed the recipe exactly with the cooking time and cooling time but it was not done all the way in the middle. I let it warm to room temperature again and put it back in the oven and cooked for another 45 minutes, then started the same cooling regimen. It turned out much better. So my next time I will double the baking time.

        I just made this cheesecake. I don’t yet know what it tastes like as it is sitting in my oven cooling. U did not check on it during the 50 minute cooking time and just opened my oven. I was so disappointed. I think I’d would have been beautiful had I used folded parchment paper as a damn around the edges. I don’t know if I over beat it or what but it rose in the cooking probably somewhere between 2 to 3 inches. Because of that the edges avalanched off an onto the bottom of the oven. I was planning on taking this to a church function tomorrow. I will definitely try it again but I will put a parchment paper damn around the edges next time.
