Tips for the Best No Bake Cheesecake
- Even though this is a no-bake cheesecake, you can bake the crust at 350°F for 5–7 minutes for a slightly firmer, more traditional cheesecake-style crust. Let it cool completely before adding the filling.This works for both the almond flour crust and cookie crumb crust.
- These cheesecakes are creamy and soft, slightly less firm than baked cheesecake. Best served chilled and for a firmer texture, chill longer or freeze briefly before serving.
Topping Ideas
Though I really love this lemon blueberry combination, there are so many ways you can top these low-carb mini cheesecakes. How about:
Variations
- Use dairy-free cream cheese for a vegan option
- If desired, you can reduce the low-carb sweetener and make up the difference with a bit of stevia extract, liquid stevia (these homemade stevia drops work well), or pure monk extract.
- For a non-keto version, you can of course use regular sweeteners
- Cookie Crust Option: Substitute cookie crumbs for the almond flour crust. Mix about 1 1/2 cups cookie crumbs with 4–5 tablespoons melted butter, then press into the pan.
How to Store
Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
For longer storage, freeze and thaw before serving.
