How do you make Keto Chocolate Cheesecake?
This recipe has basically four layers. The bottom layer is a shortbread cookie crust made with almond flour. The second layer is a chocolate cheesecake that is light and fluffy. The third is whipped cream and the fourth and final step is a chocolate covered strawberry.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. To make the chocolate crust: combine the melted butter, almond flour, keto friendly sweetener and cocoa powder.
- Press the dough into the bottom of a silicone muffin pan (or paper lined muffin pan)
- Pre-bake the crust for 7 minutes and allow the crust to cool COMPLTELY.
- In a stand mixer or hand mixer combine the cream cheese, eggs, sweetener, cocoa powder and vanilla until things are just barely incorporated.
- Add the melted bakers chocolate and the heavy cream. Mix until completely smooth, mixture will be light and airy.
- Spoon onto the cooled crust.
- Bake 15-18 minutes until the cheescake has set. Remove from oven and allow the cheesecakes to cool competely.
For the Chocolate Covered Strawberries: Slice the strawberries in half, they will sit cut side down on the cheesecake. Melt the Lilly’s Sugar Free Chocolate Chips and carefully dip the strawberry slices in the chocolate and allow to cool on a silicone baking sheet or wax paper.
To assemble the Cheesecakes: Top each cheesecake with whipped cream and a chocolate covered strawberry. Drizzle with any additional melted chocolate if desired.
Is cheesecake okay on a keto diet?
Cheesecake is a common keto dessert because cream cheese is naturally low in carbs and high in fat. Actually, you will find that cream cheese is a keto staple. It is used to make fat head dough and most quick and easy keto recipes.
For this reason, as long as you use a keto friendly sweetener than cheesecake is a great keto dessert! I love these Keto Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Bars. Also, these Keto Cheesecake brownies are a perfect low carb treat!
