Keto Lemon Cheesecake

115 ratings

This no bake lemon cheesecake is indulgently sweet and creamy with a zesty kick of citrus. The sumptuous topping is rich in flavour and fats, combining cream cheese with heavy cream. The base is formed from ground almonds and provides the perfect biscuit crunch to complement the creamy topping.

A crowd pleasing dessert, this is ideal to make in advance for dinner parties or a decadent weekend treat.

    To make the base, add the ground almonds, butter, coconut oil, ¼ cup of xylitol and salt to a food processor.
    Step 1

  • Step 2

    Pulse to combine, forming a chunky crumb.
    Step 2

  • Step 3

    Transfer the crumb mix to a loose-bottomed cake tin (around 15cm) and press down firmly and evenly. Place the cake tin in the fridge to firm the base while you make the topping.
    Step 3

  • Step 4

    Add the remaining xylitol to a food processor and blend on a high speed setting until it forms a fine powder. Add the cream cheese and powdered xylitol to a large mixing bowl and beat together until smooth.
    Step 4

  • Step 5

    Add the cream to the cheese and whisk together to combine. Add the lemon juice and ½ the zest and whisk vigorously until thick and smooth.
    Step 5

  • Step 6

    Remove the cake tin from the fridge and spoon over the creamy topping. Level the mixture so that it is smooth and even and transfer to the fridge to set for at least 5 hours, ideally overnight.

    Can you use stevia instead of xylitol?

        So good! Crust tastes like sugar cookies, but I would double the lemon because it didn’t come through as much as expected

          I found a lemon extract. I added 1/4 teaspoon of it. This seemed to give it that little extra lemon kick without adding a to much extra liquid.

        Base is a bit smooth so I added a little keto granola for crunch.. beautiful desert.

            I put mine in muffin tins for individual servings. Baked crust. Once done, froze them on a sheet tray. Then wrapped each in plastic wrap and placed them in a zip lock gallon bag. They freeze beautifully! Thaw, put a couple raspberries and a dollop of keto whipped cream - heaven!

            My husband’s exact words, “absolutely delicious! Taste like real cheesecake!” I too baked the crust. I used all butter, plus I cut down the xylitol. The filling exact (little less xylitol). I will make this again using confectioners swerve and change up the 3/4 whip cream to whip cream/sour cream combo. Also add a smidge of vanilla. 🤓 I am a cheesecake baker and this made me feel whole again. 🙏 Thanks

                  I added raspberries to mine and no zest just lemon juice! I also cooked my crust for 10 minutes on 350° It was so amazing.

                      Baking the base for 10 minutes was the best tip ever making this my favorite keto cake because it actually tastes like a regular cheesecake!

                        The measurements for the xylitol are confusing. 3/4 a cup isn’t 0.6 g.

                              Easy to make. Used swerve confectioners. Forgot to bake crust. Will see how it turns out. I know the bowl tasted yummy.

                                A crowd pleaser. I will put a little less xylitol next time.

                                  I've made this 50x with unsweetened jello and 1/2 packet (1gr) of Stevia sweetener. I've used all flavors of jello. It's awesome.
