It also happens to be a low-carb no-bake cheesecake, so it’s also grain-free, gluten-free, and keto-friendly!
Not only is it no-bake, but it also uses only simple-to-source ingredients. This keto cheesecake is so quick and easy, you can whip up a batch lickety-split for a keto dessert everyone will love you for.
I made this no-bake cheesecake in mini jars so that your macros are easier to monitor while doing keto. However, I can’t make any promises that you won’t be having seconds with this delicious option.

Keto No-Bake Cheesecake
An easy, no-bake keto cheesecake had been on my radar for a while. I am well aware that many people can be intimidated by making oven-baked cheesecakes.
A no-bake cheesecake is, after all, a lot simpler than a baked one. Since it requires no eggs and no oven, it’s virtually foolproof.
You eliminate the risk of overbeating, overbaking, or cheesecake cracks.
I promise, that if you can measure and use an electric mixer, you can make this low-carb no-bake cheesecake perfectly.
Plus, if you live where it’s warm almost year-round like I do, you’ll appreciate that the oven will be turned off for this recipe.
Low-Carb No-Bake Cheesecake In A Jar

This easy, peasy keto cheesecake features an almond flour no-bake crust that is just as yummy as the graham crust versions we all grew up on.
Except that this crust has only three ingredients and is grain and gluten-free. Plus, it’s low in carbs. I mean, really, what more can you ask for?
The filling tastes like a cheesecake mousse and has a velvety-rich texture that is unmatched.
Making these in 4-ounce mason jars made the presentation more lovely.
You can, however, also make this in a 9-inch pie pan and get fabulous results too. If you make this in a pie pan, you will need to refrigerate the cheesecake for a minimum of 6 hours so that it can be served easily.
I decided to top this no-bake cheesecake with berries, but that is optional since these minis taste fabulous plain too.
I will add that adding blueberries and raspberries to these cheesecakes’ surface makes them the perfect patriotic keto treat, just saying.
How To Make Perfect No-Bake Cheesecake (Keto)
Making this keto dessert is super easy. The main thing to remember is to start with cream cheese that is at room temperature. It needs to be soft; otherwise, you’ll miss out on the velvety texture.
Then it’s just a matter of using an electric mixer and combining the following ingredients:
- Full-fat cream cheese: Use only blocks of real cream cheese, not cream cheese spread, and ensure it’s at room temperature.
- Sour cream: Full-fat provides the most flavor, plus it’s lower in carbs.
- Heavy whipping cream: This is necessary for getting a thick cheesecake filling. You’ll be whipping it with cream cheese.
- Granulated sugar substitute: a must to keep it low in carbs.
- Vanilla extract: Heightens the flavor of the cheesecake
- Almond flour: Is used for the crust
- Melted unsalted butter: For the crust
- Mixed berries, optional but recommended
Which Sugar Substitutes Work Best
When it comes to choosing your sugar substitute for this cheesecake, I have several options you can choose from.
My first recommendation is Lakanto Monk Fruit because the texture is spot on and there is barely any aftertaste. It is a monk fruit and erythritol blend.
Would you like to save this?
I can’t keep enough of this stuff stocked in my pantry because it really behaves the most like sugar in my book.
It gets its sweetness from antioxidants called mogrosides, instead of fructose or sucrose. This is why it’s a great all-natural sugar substitute. Plus, it has zero calories and a zero glycemic index.
With that being said, I’m also partial to Swerve an erythritol blend. Unlike other natural sweeteners like stevia, it has no bitter aftertaste and measures like sugar.
Swerve is made from ingredients found in select fruits and starchy root vegetables and contains no artificial ingredients, preservatives, or flavors. It also has a 0% impact on blood sugar.
You could also use the stevia and erythritol-based brand Pyure for this no-bake cheesecake if you’re a fan of stevia. This is the only stevia brand I would consider because I find all others to have an intense aftertaste that I can’t get past.
However, because Pyure is a much sweeter option, you should use half the amount called for.
You can also use Splenda with great success if you have trouble sourcing a more natural alternative.
I don’t recommend Splenda Bake because it’s a half-sugar, half-sucralose product. Ugh, NOT at all suitable because it will be too high in carbs to be considered keto-friendly.

- 1 cup granulated sugar substitute
- 1 cup full fat sour cream
- 1 1/2 cups of heavy whipping cream

- Place the mason jars with the crust into the refrigerator while you make the filling.
Keto Cheesecake Filling
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sour cream, sugar substitute, vanilla extract, and 1/4 tsp sea salt on high with an electric mixer.
- Scape the sides of the bowl several times.
- Add the cold heavy whipping cream slowly into the cheesecake batter and whip for 3-5 minutes until fully combined and light and airy.
- Using a piping bag or small spoon, add the cheesecake filling into the individual jars that have the prepared almond crust. If making one large pie add the filling to the prepared almond crust.
- Top the cheesecake with fresh blueberries and raspberries, or leave it plain.
- Allow the cheesecakes to chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes for the best flavor. If making one large pie, make sure you chill the cheesecake for a minimum of 8 hours so it can be served easily. See notes for details.

Notes
You can also make this no-bake keto cheesecake in a 9-inch pie pan. To do so simply press the almond four crust into the pie pan and then add the cheesecake filling.
If you opt to make this in a pie pan you will need to refrigerate the cheesecake for a minimum of 6-8 hours. So that it slices easily. Otherwise the filling will not slice properly.
