Introduction
If you’re following a keto diet, finding delicious desserts that fit within your low-carb lifestyle can be a challenge. However, with the right recipe, you can still enjoy a sweet treat without sacrificing your dietary goals. In this blog post, we’ll share a keto cheesecake recipe that is not only better than what you’ll find at the Cheesecake Factory but also fits perfectly into your low-carb eating plan. This recipe originated when our family had a reservation for dinner at The Cheesecake Factory. I wanted to “x the carbs,” but I didn’t want to lose the flavor of my favorite dessert. I started looking at recipes and thought to myself, why would anyone destroy a delicious dessert with so much processed sugar? Since my son usually gets dessert to go, I wanted to have my own sugar-free treat to come home to. I hope you enjoy it!
Equipment
- 1 Coffee bean grinder or food processor.
Ingredients
- 1 bag Almonds or Pecans

- 1 can Keto Reddi Whip for decorating
Ingredient & Equipment Links
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Line a 9 inch springform pan with parchment paper or tin foil and set aside.
- Grind your nut of choice. I found using a coffee bean grinder was perfect for grinding the nuts for a perfect crust. If you have a food processor, you can use that too.
- Measure out 2 ½ cups and place it into a mixing bowl. Add the melted butter and mix together until combined.
- Transfer the nut crust to the lined springform pan and use the back of the spoon to spread around the edges. Refrigerate the crust while you are preparing the filling.
- Mix cream cheese, sour cream, and sugar substitute and well blended.
- Add the eggs, then vanilla extract, and blend.
- Remove the pie crust from the refrigerator and add the cheesecake filling.
- Place the cheesecake in the oven and bake for an hour, until the middle is mostly set.
- Turn off the oven and open the door slightly. Allow the cheesecake to cool completely. Once cooled, refrigerate for a few hours.
Enjoying Your Keto Cheesecake
Now that your keto cheesecake is ready, it’s time to enjoy it! You can serve it as is, or get creative with some keto-friendly toppings. Fresh berries, a dollop of whipped cream made with stevia, or a sprinkle of grated dark chocolate are all great options to enhance the flavor of your cheesecake.
This keto cheesecake recipe is not only delicious, but it’s also a healthier alternative to the high-carb version you’ll find at the Cheesecake Factory. With its creamy texture and rich flavor, you won’t even miss the sugar and carbs. Plus, it’s easy to make and can be enjoyed by anyone, whether they’re following a keto diet or not.
Conclusion

With its almond flour crust and creamy filling, it’s a delicious treat that won’t derail your low-carb lifestyle. Give it a try and indulge in a guilt-free slice of keto cheesecake!
