Ingredients
Here’s a breakdown of what you’ll need to make this delightful keto dessert:
Peach Sauce:
- 1 cup fresh peaches, peeled and chopped
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar alternative (like Swerve Brown)
- 1 tablespoon allulose
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pecan Crumble:
- 1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar substitute
- 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
Cheesecake Filling:
- 5 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup powdered erythritol or Swerve Confectioners
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped to stiff peaks
Equipment:
- 6 small dessert glasses (1/2 cup capacity each)
Step-by-Step: How to Make Keto Peach Cheesecake
Step 1: Prepare the Peach Sauce
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the chopped peaches, water, allulose, brown sugar substitute, and cinnamon. Stir occasionally as the mixture begins to simmer. Let it cook until the peaches soften and the sauce thickens slightly. Set aside to cool.
Step 2: Make the Pecan Crumble
Using a separate small saucepan, toast the pecans over medium heat with butter, sweetener, and salt. Stir often and cook until the pecans are golden and fragrant, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat and let the crumble cool completely.
Step 3: Whip the Cheesecake Filling
In a large mixing bowl, whip the softened cream cheese until it becomes light and airy. Add the powdered sweetener and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated. In another bowl, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and uniform.
Step 4: Assemble the Cheesecake Jars
Crumble the pecan mixture into small bits with your fingers. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of pecan crumble into each dessert glass. Pipe or spoon the cheesecake mixture over the pecan layer, filling the jars about 3/4 of the way. Spoon the peach sauce over the cheesecake layer, then top with a sprinkle of leftover pecan crumble. Chill or serve immediately.
Helpful Tips
- Use ripe peaches for maximum flavor and natural sweetness.
- Chill your mixing bowl before whipping the cream to get firmer peaks.
- Make ahead: You can prepare the components a day in advance and assemble just before serving.
- Pipe the filling using a ziplock bag with the corner snipped off for a neater look.
Substitutions And Variations
- Fruit swaps: Try raspberries, strawberries, or blueberries in place of peaches.
- Nut-free option: Substitute crushed sunflower seeds or keto granola for the pecans.
- Dairy-free version: Swap in dairy-free cream cheese and coconut cream instead of the heavy whipping cream.
- Flavor twist: Add lemon zest or almond extract to the cheesecake base for added complexity.
Storage Instructions
Store your keto peach cheesecake jars in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3 days. For best results, keep the pecan crumble separate until ready to serve to maintain its crunch. These jars are not freezer-friendly as the texture of the cream cheese and peaches can become watery upon thawing.
