How To Make A Keto Snickerdoodle Cheesecake

Ingredients Needed

Cheesecake Filling:

  • Full Fat Cream Cheese
  • Sour Cream
  • Keto Sweetener
  • Eggs
  • Cinnamon
  • Vanilla Extract

Cheesecake Crust:

  • Almond Flour
  • Butter
  • Cinnamon

Baking Instructions

Something that is crucial when baking a cheesecake is to have your ingredients at room temperature. So, take them out of the fridge a few hours before you’re ready to start baking.

First, you have to make the crust. Mix the blanched almond flour, cinnamon and melted butter together. Press the cheesecake crust down into the spring-form pan evenly. Bake for 10-15 minutes until golden brown. Remove, then allow it to cool while you mix together the cheesecake filling.

In a mixing bowl, cream together the cream cheese and sour cream. Next add in the granulated sweetener and cinnamon. Then, add in the vanilla. Lastly, you want to add in your eggs one at a time. This is important to add one at a time and not all four at once.

Now, pour the cheesecake filing over the cooled cheesecake crust. Give the cheesecake a tap on the counter about three times to allow air bubbles to rise to the top. Before placing in the oven mix together cinnamon, sweetener and nutmeg to sprinkle across the top of the cheesecake.

Bake in a preheated oven for 45-60 minutes. Once that time is reached give the cheesecake a slight shake. If these is a small jiggle then turn the oven off and leave the cheesecake in the oven with the oven door cracked for an hour.

Once the hour is reached remove the cheesecake and allow it to cool completely on top of a cooling rack.

Then, place the cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the cheesecake to fully set. This is the most crucial part that so many people think they can skip.

Now, once the cheesecake is set, serve and enjoy!

Helpful Recipe Tips

  • Allow cheesecake to cool fully, if you try to place the cheesecake in the fridge before it cools condensations will happen. Meaning you’ll get drops of water all across your keto snickerdoodle cheesecake. This won’t effect taste but it’s not pretty to look at.
  • Refrigerate to set, just like most pie recipes cheesecake must set in the refrigerator. I am not sure what happens from a science point but I can tell you it makes a huge difference in flavor and texture.
  • Room temp ingredients, a cheesecake is a very fragile recipe that is prone to cracking. Top avoid this using room temp ingredients helps the baking process along with a water bath which I will mention below.

How To Store

You always need to store a cheesecake in the refrigerator. Another thing that makes it great is it freezes extremely well. Remember, whether it’s frozen or in the fridge be sure to have it in an air tight container. I like to make my cheesecakes then vacuum seal them. I remove a slice at a time to eat.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Do I need to use a water bath?

This is such a common question! For this recipe, you don’t have to if you don’t care about possibly getting a crack in your cheesecake. However, if you want to avoid a crack the water bath is the best and most gentle way of baking a cheesecake. Here is a great article on how to do a water bath. And yes, I did use a water bath for the keto snickerdoodle cheesecake in the photos.

Can you eat cheesecake on keto?

Yes if the recipe is keto friendly! Not all sugar-free cheesecakes are keto friendly. For example, the sugar-free cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory. There is still a crust and on top of that they use Splenda in the recipe which is very dirty keto but not ideal for anyone starting keto.
