This easy keto cheesecake is sweet, creamy and easy to make! Tasty, lemony crust, rich cheesecake, fluffy cream on top - it's keto dessert perfection!
Quick and easy keto cheesecake
This keto cheesecake is my first keto dessert ever! You can imagine when you start with this way of life - no sugar, no sweets, no classical desserts... Life can be sad if you are used to eat your dessert every day and then suddenly you stop with all your 🍭 sweets at once. After a couple of weeks on keto I decided to ketofy my favorite dessert - cheesecake!
This is actually a classical cheesecake, only ketofied. And I have to admit - it tastes better than the "real thing". 😋😊
I hear the expression "real thing" very often in keto society and now when I am experienced in keto and knowing so much about food I have to say - this is not like a real thing, this IS a real thing! It's healthy, without sugar, and full of nutrients that nourish our bodies.
This is a real food, this is not some sugary stuff l'we used to eat before. This cheesecake crust is so tasty- it's melting in your mouth and leaving that nice, sweet, very mild coconut and lemony flavor as under taste. Two layers of cheese goes great with that crust and somehow you have a feeling from out of this world!
Sugar free cheesecake
I highly recommend you to try this cheesecake and make your loved ones happy. Even if they aren't on keto they will love it!
I tested it many times on many of my friends and family. If you plan to make it for sugar addicted friends make sure to put enough sweetener (try it before you bake it). If you make it for experienced ketoers you can even reduce the sweetener. We, people of keto, have sensitive palates and don't need so much of sugar. Spices like vanilla will give you that "sweet feeling" too.

Awesome flavor! May become one of my favorite desserts! I made mine in a 9” deep dish pie pan and it was not big enough! Probably would use a larger spring form pan or a casserole rectangular dish next time.

Thanks for commenting! So happy to hear you like it!

What size pan did you use? I used a 9 inch deep dish pie plate and I could no where nearly get all the top layer on without overflow. I could easily suggest a rectangular pan with higher sides.
Family On Keto says
I use deep cake tray for this type of desserts.
