Step-by-Step: How to Make Keto No-Bake Strawberry Cheesecake

Make the Almond Crust:

  1. In a bowl, mix together almond flour, sweetener, cinnamon, and sea salt until well blended.
  2. Add the melted butter and stir until the mixture becomes evenly moistened and crumbly.
  3. Press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch (3.5-quart) pan.

Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:

  1. Using a large bowl, whip the softened cream cheese, sour cream, sweetener, vanilla extract, and sea salt until the texture is smooth and creamy.
  2. Scrape down the bowl occasionally to ensure even mixing.
  3. Gradually incorporate the heavy whipping cream while beating continuously for 3-5 minutes until the filling becomes fluffy and well combined.
  4. Spread the filling evenly over the prepared almond crust.

Add the Strawberry Topping:

  1. In a separate bowl, combine the sliced strawberries with the sweetener and vanilla extract.
  2. Let them sit for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and juices to release.
  3. Spoon the topping over the cheesecake layer.

Chill and Serve:

  1. Place the cheesecake in the refrigerator and chill for a minimum of 6 hours.
  2. Slice and serve chilled. Keep any leftovers refrigerated for up to 5 days or freeze for as long as 3 weeks.

Helpful Tips

  • Always soften the cream cheese fully to ensure a smooth, lump-free filling.
  • For a finer crust texture, process the crust ingredients in a food processor.
  • Chill overnight for the cleanest slices and best texture.
  • Use thawed and well-drained frozen strawberries if fresh are unavailable.

Substitutions And Variations

  • Crust alternatives: Swap almond flour with crushed pecans or walnuts for a nutty twist.
  • Sweeteners: Use your preferred keto-friendly sweetener such as erythritol, monk fruit, or stevia blends.
  • Berry topping: Substitute strawberries with raspberries, blueberries, or a mix of berries.
  • Mini cheesecakes: Use cupcake liners for individual servings.
  • Flavor twist: Add a few drops of lemon or almond extract for a new layer of flavor.

Storage Instructions
