FAQ’s and tips

  • Almond flour: For those who aren’t on keto may use oats. But to keep this keto, you may use coconut flour.
  • Cream Cheese: Not on keto? Use a fat-free option. If you want to skip the cream cheese completely, here is what you can sub it with, puree one cup of cottage cheese, use one cup of plain or dairy-free yogurt.
  • Sour cream: For keto, use full fat, they have less sugar. Not on keto, use fat-free. 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: An ingredient that great for those on keto and we prefer this for the cheesecake. But you can also try using coconut oil.

How to thicken a no-bake cheesecake

If your cheesecake isn’t as thick as you like, you may place in the fridge for 1-2 hours for the creamy cheese filling to solidify more.

Is cheesecake keto

No. Not all cheesecakes are keto. Especially if they are made with sugar and the crust is made of graham crackers. Our easy no-bake cheesecake recipe is perfectly keto.

CAN I leave cheesecake out overnight

The right answer is no. 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.

Is cream cheese OK on keto

Among many other kinds of cheese, cream cheese is ok to have on keto. 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!

    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
