I’m really excited to share this super quick, simple and most importantly delicious recipe raspberry keto cheesecake! This recipe doesn’t require baking, is gluten-free and only 5g net carbs per (generous) serving.
I love cheesecake and fortunately for those of us on keto, the main ingredient happens to be a fat, it’s just all the sugar mixed in that really needs dealing with! This raspberry keto cheesecake manages to pack in all the flavor of a great cheesecake, without all the carbs, with a few easy substitutions.
Quick Raspberry Keto Cheesecake!
The obvious substitution to make keto cheesecake is to swap sugar for sweetener, for which I tend to use powdered stevia but there are a ton of great options as a sugar substitute. The important thing is to powder the sweetener first, as this isn’t baked and is just mixed, any granulated sweeteners are likely to stay whole and give a grainy texture to the end result.
I use an electric coffee grinder to powder my sweetener, but a food processor should do the trick, or alternatively pick up some pre-powdered stuff.
For the base, I’m using a mixture of almond flour and crushed pecans to keep this a keto cheesecake, for texture and great flavor. It’s really important that you toast these first, don’t skip that step. Toasting brings out a more biscuity flavor from the flour and nuts. A little pinch of cinnamon added to the mix makes this a delicious base to build upon.
This is the base I use for a bunch of different keto cheesecake flavors, I often make lemon or key lime version of this, or a blackberry version in autumn (check out this blackberry cheesecake smoothie for an even easier treat!)
The raspberry compote on top is super quick to make, and tastes great. Lightly heat the raspberries until they break down to form a loose jam, which looks beautiful on the end result with such vibrant colour.
I like to serve these raspberry keto cheesecakes in a fancy glass, with the raspberry compote and a couple of berries on top this looks great and would make an ideal, prepare ahead dinner party dessert.
I often make these, or my keto tiramisu in batches of 5-6 (often in smaller glasses), which I cover in plastic wrap and keep in the fridge ready to be picked out over the next couple of days for an instant dessert!
