Keto Cheesecake

This low carb cheesecake recipe is incredible. If you are on a low carb or on the ketogenic diet, you will really enjoy this incredible Instant pot dessert.

How To Make Sugar Free Cheesecake Taste Like The Real Thing

When making a sugar free cheesecake, you might find it taste different than a classic cheesecake. The two key components are a buttery and light crust, and of course the cheesecake filling.

For the crust, I used blanched almond flour. I find this resembles a graham cracker crust texture, without all the extra carbs that we don’t want.

Then for the cream cheese filling, you use cream cheese of course, and I opted for the powdered erythritol sweetener. It really helps to sweeten up the cheesecake while giving it that real taste, if you know what I mean.

What Type Of Pan Do You Use For Instant Pot Cheesecake

Reach for a springform pan. I used this Springform Pan that fits a 6 quart or 8 quart instant pot! Then I used a Grip Holder to ensure I wouldn’t drop my cheesecake. If you have followed the Instant Pot group you can see TONS of pictures of people dropping their cheesecake, and it gets ruined on the floor.

Why Is My Cheesecake Lumpy

You need to start with softened cream cheese. If you do not allow the cream cheese to be softened, it will offer a cottage cheese texture, and be lumpy. When your cream cheese is softened, it will whip up really nice and offer that velvety smooth texture you want.

Trust me I have had a lumpy cheesecake before, I learned my lesson so now I know! Always, always, always use softened cream cheese.

Ways To Serve Up This Sugar-Free Cheesecake

Dress up your cheesecake how you will, or eat it plain! I love it all ways, and the cocoa to me adds nice character to the cheesecake.

How To Store Keto Cheesecake

You will need to store any leftover cheesecake in the fridge. Cheesecake will go bad if left out on the counter at room temperature. This cheesecake will store in the fridge sealed up for 4-5 days. Use your best judgment in terms of if the cheesecake has gone bad.

Can I Substitute The Erythritol Sweetener

You can try swapping it with the powdered monk fruit sweetenerInstant Pot Keto Cheesecake Recipe (gluten-free and sugar-free) (20), I have heard this is a great alternative. I personally have not used other sweeteners. Just make sure if you do a swap, you convert the measurements correctly.

Can You Freeze Keto Cheesecake

Yes, simply wrap up in aluminum foil and then place in the freezer. I tend to do individual slices so I can then place in a freezer bag as well, to add an extra layer of protection from the freezer. Then pull out and thaw on the counter or in the fridge for when you are ready to serve.

Don’t dust with cocoa if you plan to freeze, save that back and top with cocoa or however you choose after the cheesecake has thawed.
