How To Make The No-Bake Cheesecake
Step 1: Make the Crust
Mix Almond Flour and Sweetener:
Combine 1 ½ cups of almond flour with ¼ cup of granulated erythritol in a bowl.
Add Melted Butter:
Pour in ½ cup of melted butter and mix until you get a sandy texture.
Press into Pan:
Press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan. Use a flat-bottomed glass or measuring cup to press it down firmly. Make sure it's even and packed down tight.
Chill the Crust:
Pop the crust in the fridge while you prepare the filling.
Step 2: Prepare the Filling
Beat the Cream Cheese: In a large bowl, beat 24 ounces of cream cheese until smooth.
Add Sweetener and Vanilla:
Mix in 1 cup of granulated erythritol and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour in Heavy Cream:
Gradually add 1 cup of heavy cream, beating continuously to keep it smooth.
Add Lemon Juice:
Squeeze in 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice and mix well. Then mix into the cream cheese mixture.
Step 3: Assemble the Cheesecake
Spread the Filling:
Spread the cream cheese mixture over the chilled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Chill:
Cover the cheesecake and Let it set in the fridge for at least 4 hours, or Overnight is even better for the best texture.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
Slice and Serve: Once set, remove the cheesecake from the pan, slice, and enjoy.
Tips for The Perfect No-Bake Keto Cheesecake
Room Temperature Cream Cheese:
Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps.
Chill your mixing bowl and beaters:
This helps the cream whip up faster and fluffier.
Taste and adjust:
Before pouring the filling over the crust, taste it. Adjust sweetness or add more lemon juice if needed.
Chill Time:
Be patient and let the cheesecake chill for the full time. This helps it set properly.
Sweetener:
If you're not a fan of erythritol, you can use other keto-friendly sweeteners like stevia.
Pan Size:
A springform pan works best for easy removal, but you can also use a pie dish if that’s what you have on hand.
Variations to Try
Chocolate Cheesecake:
Add some unsweetened cocoa powder to the filling for a chocolatey twist.
Berry Topping:
Add fresh berries on top before serving. They add a burst of flavor and a pop of color.
Nutty Crust:
Add some crushed nuts to the crust mixture for extra crunch.
Citrus Cheesecake:
Add more lemon juice or some lime zest for a refreshing tang.
FAQs
How long does it last in the fridge?
It should keep well in the refrigerator for up to a week. Just make sure it's covered to prevent it from drying out.
What if I don’t have a springform pan?
You can use a regular pie dish, but a springform pan makes it easier to remove and slice.
Can I use coconut flour instead of almond flour?
You can, but coconut flour is more absorbent. You'll need to adjust the amount and possibly add more butter to get the right consistency.
Can I make this cheesecake dairy-free?
Yes, you can substitute the cream cheese and heavy cream with dairy-free alternatives like coconut cream and dairy-free cream cheese.
