These no-bake keto cheesecakes are super fun and tasty that everyone will enjoy in your household. They are even kid-approved! The base is made with almond flour, sweetener, and butter. To make the cheesecake filling I used cream cheese, sour cream , butter, and sweetener. So tasty, even kids love it.
Why it is so good
- Super easy: All you will need is about 10 minutes to make this keto cheesecake. Just so easy to put together.
- Delicious: A tasty dessert you can enjoy without any guilt! Creamy, smooth, and so good!
- Kids-approved: I know my kids love this simple low-carb cheesecake treat. I bet yours will too.
Ingredients you will need
For the Crust:
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon Cinnamon
- Pinch Sea salt
- 1 Packet stevia optional
for the Cheesecake layer:
- 8 ounces Cream cheese soften
- ½ cup Sour cream or a low-carb plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Butter soften
- ½ cup Granulated erythritol
- Pinch Sea salt
- Raspberries and mint leaves optional, to garnish
How to make it
- First, make the crust: In a bowl, stir together the crust ingredients until the mixture resembles sand.
- Next, set up the cups: Distribute between 4 serving glasses.
- Make the filling: Place the cream cheese and butter into a bowl and use a hand-held mixer to beat until light and fluffy. Add in the remaining ingredients and mix until incorporated.
- Assemble cups: Transfer to a piping bag and pipe the cheesecake over the crusts. Finally, top with raspberries if desired.
Tips and Substitutes
- Almond flour: For those who aren’t looking for a low-carb treat, you may use oats. But to keep this keto, you may use coconut flour.
- Cream Cheese: You can use a fat-free option. If you want to skip the cream cheese completely, here is what you can substitute it with, puree one cup of cottage cheese, and use one cup of plain or dairy-free yogurt.
- Sour cream: You may also use full fat, they have less sugar. Fat-free works just fine too. Also, even though sour cream is a keto-friendly ingredient it may not be ideal for some, use plain Greek yogurt instead. Also, we love the “two good” brand that is very low in carbs.
- Butter: This is great if you care more about having a low-carb treat. But you can also try using coconut oil.
Frequently Asked Questions
If your cheesecake isn’t as thick as you like, you may place it in the fridge for 1-2 hours for the creamy cheese filling to solidify more.
I do not recommend it. You should not leave any food that contains perishable ingredients in them on your kitchen counter overnight. You may leave the cheesecake out for 2-3 hours tops but it is best to store it in the fridge to prevent any foodborne illnesses.
Among many other kinds of cheese, cream cheese is ok to have on a low carb diet. Mostly the full-fat versions are high in fat and low in carbs with only 0.8g of carbs per tablespoon.

Not only were these super easy to make, they were also super delicious! I toasted the almond meal in a dry fry pan, like someone else in the comments did. I made this for a non keto person, who really enjoyed it as well. I will definitely be saving this recipe!
Thanks. Glad you loved it
I absolutely love it!
Thank you!
Can I just use cream cheese and not sour cream or anything else?
Yes
Thank you for this recipe! I’m not a cheesecake lover, but this was SO delicious!!! I toasted the almond flour in a dry skillet til golden brown before I made the “crust “ part. It ended up tasting like the crust was baked! Thank you again for this 5 star recipe!! I’ll be making this again!!
Awesome. Glad you loved it
The filling is amazing and defiantly satirized my craving. I only used 1/4 of a cup of swerve instead of a half cup and I added a few tablespoons of heavy cream. My crust seemed too thick though. Other than that I loved it
Thanks for the feedback.
Absolutely delicious! I’ve been making this for about a year. Today I added some lemon zest to the cream cheese. Game changer!! I make it a few times a month.
So yummy and easy to make. We added cherries on top. We will definitely make this again!
Perfect! Cherries sound amazing.
I made these last week… didn’t change a thing. My husband fell in love with them as much as I did!
Going to make more tomorrow
Yay. So glad
I just made this for dessert. It’s rich and flavorful. Very yummy! Thank you for sharing the recipe.
Thanks for the feedback Jessica. Happy you liked it.
This recipe was awesome, I didn’t have enough Almond flour so used flaxseed mill & coconut flour, added some lemon zest to cream cheese/sour cream. Delicious!
So awesome. Great substitutes. Thanks for the feedback.
I’m making as directed except I’m omitting crust. Would it be 0 carbs then????
Hi. I can’t really say it will be zero completely but it will be super low. They’re still going to be a very small amount from cream cheese and yogurt.
Delicious! TYSM for this recipe!
Can I just use cream cheese and not sour cream or anything else?
Creamy cheese works
I don’t ever eat the crust on my cheesecake so when I eliminated the crust my cheesecake filling has almost no carbs. I am a cheesecake freak and this turned out amazing for my cravings. Thank you.
DELICIOUS! Perfect size to soothe your craving too.
Love it
