No-Bake Keto Strawberry Cheesecake
This no-bake strawberry keto cheesecake recipe was an instant hit with my family, and I am confident that it will be one that your loved ones will also enjoy. It’s truly fit for any occasion!
Although strawberries are at their prime in the summer, you can find them all year round here in the States.
So, if you’re blessed to have access to fresh strawberries, you can and should make this delightful keto strawberry cream cheese dessert any time throughout the year.
This simple recipe needs to chill for about an hour and, therefore, can be made ahead of time.
But even with a little chilling time, it’s still much more straightforward than my traditional keto cheesecake recipe, which requires a water bath and many more hours of refrigeration.
Don’t get me wrong, if you have the time to make a keto cheesecake that requires a bain-marie, you should do so, too.
But sometimes you need a much quicker option, and that’s when an easy keto strawberry cheesecake like this makes perfect sense.
In the case of this recipe, it’s effortless and allows you to enjoy a keto strawberry cheesecake without sacrificing the results. And it’s a fantastic treat when your time is more limited.
The recipe is for a slab pie made in a large rectangular pan. I used a 9×13 pan, but as I mentioned earlier, the recipe can be halved easily, so you should use an 8×8 pan.
What’s nice about a slab pie is that it can be shared and transported without much fuss.

With only a few key ingredients, you can enjoy a low-carb strawberry cheesecake rather quickly. And since it doesn’t require an oven, it will keep your home cool during the hot summer. You’re welcome.
You’ll be making the crust first and using almond flour and butter. It’s what makes it a grain-free option and low in carbs.
Next is the cheesecake filling, which requires you to beat with an electric mixer, the softened cream cheese, sugar substitute, sour cream, whipping cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Lastly, you’ll make the fresh strawberry topping, where you will slice the strawberries and combine them with a little sugar substitute and vanilla extract.
Then, it’s just a matter of allowing the dessert to chill for about an hour.
Below are the main ingredients you’ll need and a few key tips. Note that the full printable recipe card is at the end of the post.
Ingredients & Tools Needed For Low-Carb Strawberry Cheesecake
- Cream cheese, room temperature
- Granulated sugar substitute
- Full-fat sour cream
- Heavy whipping cream
- Almond flour
- Unsalted butter
- Fresh strawberries
- Electric mixer or stand-up mixer
- Glass bowl
- 13X9 pan or 8×8 pan
Best Sugar-Substitutes For Sugar-Free Strawberry Cheesecake
When choosing your sweetener for this sugar-free strawberry cheesecake recipe, I have several low-carb options that work well with this recipe.
I like Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweetener because the texture is spot on, and there is barely any aftertaste. Plus, it uses only natural ingredients.
This is a great one, especially if you are new to sugar substitutes, because it mimics sugar the most.
Would you like to save this?
I’m also partial to Swerve, an erythritol blend, although you should keep in mind that it does have a bit more of a cooling aftertaste that some people dislike.
Alternatively, you could also use a stevia-erythritol-based brand like Pyure. This is if you prefer to use stevia in your baked goods.
If you go this route, you need to reduce the amount by half since it is twice as sweet.
Lastly, if you can’t easily find a more natural sugar substitute, you can also use Splenda with great success.
I know not everyone would agree with me here, and I respect that, but in my book, it’s still better than regular sugar.

Should I add the topping the day before or is it better to wait until just before serving? Unsure because of the wording about storage before the instructions about the topping in the recipe card

Hi Jess, In step 5 of the recipe I mention to add the topping before refrigerating.

This was very good. Added blueberries for our 4th celebration. I used a 9x13 pan but had about 2 cups of extra filling. This is ok….will add fruit for another dessert snack!

I had almost 2 cups of extra filling, I’m not sure what I did wrong. I used a 13x9 inch pan. Was yours extra deep? 🤪

Hi Rachel, my pan wasn't extra deep it was 3.5-quart dish. I'll add that to the instructions.
