A subscriber on YouTube requested I do a key lime keto cheesecake no bake version. No bake keto cheesecake is super easy to do and I can help you make it tasty.
Sweetener is important here. This will balance out the sour and tart flavor of the keto cheesecake no bake. When making baked or no bake powdered sweetener is a must. Granulated doesn’t break down enough during either process. Leaving a very unpleasant crunching. Let’s dive into my key lime keto cheesecake no bake and I will show you how to make it.
How to make key lime keto cheesecake:
Keto cheesecake is too easy to make. Especially since it’s a no bake keto cheesecake. The crust here is completely optional. It does add to the cheesecake but it can be skipped. After the good part is on top.
Now, I tried doing it without cooking the crust. But, the non baked almond flour and butter was disgusting. If it’s your thing you’re welcome to not bake it though. Moving on, mix your almond flour, butter and cinnamon.
Here if using cold butter simply press everything with your hands and spread out. If your butter is room temperature you can use a hand mixer. But, you still need to press out thinly on a cookie sheet.
Bake at 350ºF for about 14-18 minutes. Taking it out halfway through to separate to create browning all over.
Lastly, for the cheesecake filling bring your cream cheese to room temperature. Next combine the sour cream and cream cheese. Add in powdered sweetener in small parts to prevent clumping. Do the same when adding the key lime juice. Finally add in liquid stevia in the final mix.
Using 4 oz jars add broken crust in the bottom then top with keto cheesecake filling. This will yield for with about a tablespoon of goodness for you to just eat out of the bowl.
Helpful tips for keto cheesecake no bake:
-
- Powdered sweetener over granulated. The powdered will work best for two reasons. One, the granules are much smaller and can cause better bulking for the hold in the no bake cheesecake. Two, smaller granules won’t produce that crunchy texture it would give if it wasn’t powdered.
- Baking the crust. For best flavor I recommend you bake the crust. It will be you best 10-12 minutes spent in the kitchen.
- The spacing that I use in the crust is simply to make it crunchy all over. Otherwise the edges will be crunchy and the center soft. It will look messy but the plan is to crumble it all anyways.
