Materials Needed To Make A Keto Blueberry Cheesecake

In order to make a successful low-carb cheesecake, you will need a few items. Thankfully, these materials are also pretty standard kitchen tools. Perhaps the only thing you may not have is the 9-inch springform pan. 

• Springform pan
• Large roasting pan for the bain-marie.
• Electric mixer, stand-up or handheld 
• Rubber spatula
• Mixing bowls

How To Make A Keto Blueberry Cheesecake

There is nothing complicated about this low-carb blueberry cheesecake, I promise. So let’s get started!

To make a keto almond flour crust, start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees and lightly greasing the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.

Melt 1/2 cup of butter and set it aside. In a medium-sized bowl, combine 2 cups of almond flour, sugar substitute, and sea salt.

Add the melted butter and mix until fully incorporated. Press the almond mixture evenly into the bottom of the springform pan using the bottom of a glass cup.

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes until lightly browned, then allow it to cool completely before adding the cheesecake batter.

For the keto cheesecake filling, allow 32 ounces of cream cheese and four large eggs to come to room temperature for at least one hour.

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. In a large stand-up mixer or a large mixing bowl with an electric handheld mixer, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar substitute at a high setting until well incorporated.

Then, reduce the mixer’s speed to medium-low and add the four large eggs one at a time, stopping to scrape the bowl at least two times to ensure the batter is mixed correctly.

Add vanilla or lemon extract, sea salt, and 16 ounces of full-fat sour cream, and combine the cream cheese mixture until the cheesecake batter is fully incorporated and velvety smooth, which may take about 5 minutes.

Lightly grease the sides of the springform pan with the baked almond crust, then pour the combined cheesecake batter into the cooled almond crust and evenly spread the top with an offset spatula.

How To Make Bain-Marie For Cheesecake

You’ll be using a water bath, better known as a bain-marie, to make this cheesecake. Some cheesecake recipes don’t call for it, but if what you want is a dense, creamy texture, I recommend you do. 

By using a bain-marie to make your keto cheesecake, you further ensure that your cheesecake doesn’t crack on the surface. This is because this method allows your cheesecake to cook evenly by using steam instead of direct heat to cook the batter.

• Place a large kettle of water on your stove and allow the water to boil.
• While the water boils, securely wrap the bottom and sides of the outside of your springform pan with heavy-duty aluminum foil. Allow the foil to go at least 3/4 of the way up the sides. Personally, I like taking the foil to the top just to be safe. 
• Place your prepared and filled springform pan into a large roasting pan. The pan needs to be large enough to easily accommodate a 9-inch springform pan.
• Once the cheesecake has been placed in the oven inside the roasting pan, fill your pan with boiling water. Please don’t attempt to add the water to the pan outside the oven and risk getting burned when trying to move it to the oven. Then, after it’s in the middle rack of your oven, place enough water to come about halfway up the sides of the springform pan. 

Sugar Substitute Options For Blueberry Keto Cheesecake

When it comes to choosing which sugar substitute to use for this sugar-free blueberry cheesecake, I have several options for you.

My number one choice is Lakanto Monk Fruit because the texture and flavor are what I have found to be the closest to real sugar and because the flavor fools your taste buds like nothing else I’ve found in the market. 

Having said that, I’m also partial to the brand Swerve, which is an erythritol blend.

Similar to Lakanto, it uses sugar alcohols and has a 0% impact on blood sugar. Personally, I wouldn’t say I like using stevia because I am sensitive to the aftertaste.

But if that’s not the case for you, you could certainly use the stevia and erythritol-based brand Pyure for this cheesecake recipe.

However, if you go this route, you will want to use half the amount called for in this recipe since it’s much sweeter.

Lastly, if you can’t easily find a more natural sugar substitute, you can also use Splenda with great success.

Tips On Making A Great Keto Blueberry Cheesecake

First and foremost, make sure you are only using full-fat cream cheese when making a keto cheesecake. Using a cream cheese that has been whipped for airiness or that is low in fat, will not produce good results.

The fat in cream cheese ensures that your keto cheesecake texture is rich and creamy. Be sure to use only cream cheese that is solid and comes in blocks.

Just like traditional cheesecake recipes call for softened cream cheese, you want the same thing when making a keto creamy cheesecake. 

If your cream cheese is too cold when you begin to mix your batter, it will not blend well and be lumpy. By the same token, if your eggs are too cold, they won’t easily incorporate into the batter.

So, make sure you give yourself enough time when attempting to make a low-carb cheesecake.

It’s important not to overbake your keto cheesecake so the texture does not become crumbly and cracks do not form on the surface.

This low-carb cheesecake will bake for 60–70 minutes in a 325-degree oven. And since you will be making the almond crust first in a 350-degree oven, ensure the oven has had time to reduce in temperature before proceeding.

How To Store Your Keto Cheesecake

You can store your cheesecake in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days. If you are wondering if you can freeze this cheesecake, you can.

You will just have to do so without the topping. This cheesecake can be cut into single servings or frozen whole. Wrap it well in cling wrap and then foil.

Freeze up to 1 month for best flavor, up to 2 months max. Thaw your cheesecake in the refrigerator or on the kitchen counter.

Are Blueberries Keto-Friendly?

This keto-friendly cheesecake features a sugar-free blueberry sauce. The sauce is made easily with fresh or frozen blueberries. If you decide to use frozen blueberries, there is no need to defrost them. 

When it comes to a keto lifestyle, your fruit choices are pretty limited. The natural sugar in fruits also makes them high in carbs.

And when you have foods that are too high in carbohydrates you can be kicked out of ketosis.  Berries are part of the limited list of keto-allowed fruits since they are among the lowest in sugar. 

Because blueberries are rich antioxidant gems, we personally give a nod in their direction. Something else to take into consideration is to aim to have your berries when they are in season. This way, you maximize their nutritional value.

During the summer, I make it a point to enjoy fresh blueberries. Since I treat them as something to have occasionally, when I do indulge, I enjoy them even further by creating a keto blueberry dessert.

With that being said, you can also use frozen blueberries and gain lots of benefits from this cheesecake. 

Although I’m a fan of blueberries, I advocate that you don’t go overboard with them, or any fruit, for that matter. You can make a recipe like this by simply planning for it.

Blueberry Benefits

• They are high in fiber, potassium, vitamins C, folate, and B6
• Blueberries contain a plant compound called anthocyanin a flavonoid. Anthocyanin is what gives blueberries their bright blue color, making them rich in antioxidants.
• Blueberries are also rich in iron, phosphorus, magnesium, calcium, manganese, zinc, and vitamin K. All of these strengthen our bones.
