I first made low carb keto cheesecake a couple years ago, but it’s still the most popular low carb dessert recipe on Wholesome Yum today. Many of you have been asking me for a keto low carb chocolate cheesecake, and I’ve also gotten a few requests for a no-bake version. So, I did both. Here it is – the low carb no bake chocolate cheesecake recipe you’ve been waiting for!
How To Make No Bake Chocolate Cheesecake With Cocoa Powder
The process for how to make no bake chocolate cheesecake is super simple, and it’s actually the same whether you’re making a regular or low carb chocolate cheesecake. It’s just 2 basic layers:
- Chocolate Cheesecake Crust – Many regular recipes use oreos, but for a keto chocolate cheesecake crust, we use a combination of almond flour, cocoa powder, sweetener, butter and vanilla. Mix it all together, press into the pan, and chill to set.
- Chocolate Cheesecake Filling – This is a simple mix of cream cheese, unsweetened chocolate, powdered sweetener, and vanilla. It requires some melting and beating to get it the right consistency (details on the recipe card below!), then just pour it into the crust and chill again to set.
Here are a few tips as you make it:
- If you forget to leave your cream cheese out at room temperature, you can heat it gently to soften it.
- Do not overheat the chocolate when melting it. Otherwise, it might seize.
- When mixing the chocolate with the cream cheese, make sure the chocolate is no longer hot but warm is okay. Work fairly quickly so that it doesn’t start to solidify.
- If the filling sits too long, it will get thick. If this happens, you can microwave it for 30 seconds, and stir to soften it up. Do not overheat, or it might split.
Just to give you an idea, here are what the different steps look like…

Keto Chocolate Cheesecake Substitutions
There are a few common questions I get about substitutions when you make low carb chocolate cheesecake. Here are those answers for you:
Can You Use Coconut Flour?
You can’t use coconut flour to replace almond flour 1-to-1. The result would be very dry.
If you want to make a coconut flour crust, try using the crust from these cupcakes and make the filling the way this recipe says. You’d need to bake the crust in that case.
Otherwise, if you are nut-free, you can try replacing the almond flour with sunflower seed meal.
Can You Use Other Sweeteners?
Yes, you can. Check the sweetener conversion calculator for the amount to use.
Can You Make No Bake Chocolate Cheesecake Dairy-Free and Paleo?
Probably. Replace the butter in the crust with coconut oil, and replace the cream cheese with dairy-free cream cheese substitute. I haven’t tried this to verify that it works, but don’t see any reason that it would not.
Can You Make The No Bake Cheesecake Filling with Cocoa Powder?
In general, I don’t recommend it. Although you could try, it is more prone to being dry and less smooth. Unsweetened chocolate works much better. Save the cocoa powder for the crust!
What Toppings To Use?
I drizzled my chocolate cheesecake with melted chocolate and topped it with raspberries. Feel free to add a little sugar-free whipped cream if you’d like, too.
How To Store Low Carb Chocolate Cheesecake
This no bake chocolate cheesecake recipe stores very well. It will keep about as long as cream cheese would in the fridge, at least a week.
However, occasionally the erythritol will crystallize sooner, which affects the smooth texture. To be on the safe side, if you want to make the cheesecake ahead for an occasion, up to 3 days ahead is best.
Can You Freeze No Bake Chocolate Cheesecake?
Yes, you can! Wrap the keto chocolate cheesecake in plastic wrap, followed by 2 layers of foil. Then, place in the freezer. Be gentle with it so that it does not break or crack.
To serve, thaw the cheesecake in the refrigerator overnight. You can let it sit at room temperature afterward if you prefer it softer and less cold.

RECIPE TIPS in the post above! VIDEO + nutrition info + recipe notes below!
Low Carb Chocolate Cheesecake Crust:
In a large bowl, stir together the almond flour, cocoa powder, and erythritol.
In a small bowl, stir together the melted butter and vanilla. Add to the almond flour mixture. Stir well, pressing with the back of a spoon or spatula, until uniform. It should be crumbly, but sticky enough to press together.
Line the bottom of a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan with parchment paper. Press the no-bake crust into the bottom of the pan. Chill while preparing the filling.
Low Carb Chocolate Cheesecake Filling:
Melt the unsweetened chocolate in the microwave or a double boiler on the stove, stirring occasionally. Be careful not to overheat. Set aside to cool.
Meanwhile, use a hand mixer at medium-low speed to beat together the cream cheese, powdered sweetener and vanilla extract, until fluffy and uniform. Beat in the vanilla.
When the chocolate has cooled to warm but no longer hot, beat into the cream at medium-low speed.
Transfer the filling to the crust and use a spatula to smooth it over. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, until set.

Fantastic recipe! I followed it exactly and it doesn’t even taste like a “healthy” sugar-free dessert. Amazing. I added a teaspoon of grated coconut to the filling and sprinkled some powdered cinnamon into the base. Sprinkled grated coconut on top and raspberries for decoration.
Jenny
Since I don’t have a springform pan, I made this in a muffin pan with paper muffin cup liners and it worked out really well. Half the recipe made 9 muffin cups. They came out of the paper liners with no sticking after they were chilled. These were very tasty and I will definitely make them again.
Theresa
OH.MY.GOSH. Wow this is fantastic. I made it today for my hubby on Father’s Day and this is seriously delish 😉
James
I have swerve confectioners instead of the lakanto confectioners and your calculator is suggesting to use almost double the amount from 1.25 to 2.25 cups, should I make any other adjustments to accommodate the extra volume of the sweetener?
Wholesome Yum
Hi James, in this case, I’d recommend a 1:1 swap on those sweeteners instead. You shouldn’t notice too much of a taste difference.
Asha
This was surprisingly close to the real thing. One of the few keto desserts I’ve really enjoyed. I used swerve instead and added in 1 strawberry chopped into little pieces. It added a natural sweetness that was awesome!
Freda Da costa
Can I use Nutella instead of chocolate?
Wholesome Yum
Hi Freda, you could do that but it will raise the net carbs significantly. If you do, you’ll want to use much less powdered sweetener.
Jean
My daughter made this chocolate cheesecake for me. The only problem she encountered was having to use a different sweetener but it still turned out great! I LOVE this cheesecake and it is hard to believe that is only 5 net grams of carbs! It is a dessert like this that helps me to stay on my keto eating plan!! I highly recommend this recipe! Thank you, Maya!!
Molly
Another great recipe! I cut the recipe in thirds and made individual choc cheesecake cups. Just put them in the fridge, but the filling is so creamy and full of chocolate flavor. I did use unsweetened cocoa powder for the filling. I microwaved the cream cheese until I could stir it (but not to the point of it being bubbly). I then added in 1 tbsp of cocoa (I actually sifted it in so that there were no lumps)… added the sweetener, AND I also added 1 tbsp of sour cream.. stirred and YUM! I used unsweetened cocoa because I have tons of it (amateur cake baker). The filling alone is a great dessert and will definitely keep on hand for when I just need a scoop or two to satisfy my choc cravings!
Cynthia
Made this tonight. So yummy. Can’t believe it’s legal. I only had lily chips so I melted them with some mct oil and it came out perfect!
Ginnie
I’m excited to make this, but I am the only one who will be eating it. Do you think I could make it in jars? I have made other cheesecakes in jars.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Ginnie, Sure, you can put it into jars if you’d like.
Emma Humphrey
This is a great recipe! I was looking for a no-bake option to impress on Mother’s Day. On top, I added strawberries dipped in Lily’s chocolate and a little bit of chocolate dripped over the sides of the cheesecake as well to decorate. This was a hit and I’m making it again for a family dinner tomorrow. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
Kaitlin
I just made this last night and I am in love! I made a few small adjustments, like I used 1/4 c of heavy whipping cream per every 8 oz of cream cheese, I used less chocolate in the filling and I also used pyure sweetener in the filling and crust. It wasn’t grainy whatsoever. My 7 year old daughter LOVED it too. I’m definitely making this again!
Dana
I made this exactly as written, using Ghirardeli 100% cocoa baking chocolate, Philadelphia cream cheese, the Lakanto monk fruit sweeteners, and cacao powder and almond flour which I have used in other recipes previously. The cheesecake was creamy and tasted very good, the crust was also very tasty. However, both my husband and I found that as we ate a spicy taste/sensation developed. It tasted like one of those chocolate recipes that have a pinch of cayenne added in. This is my first time using monk fruit sweeteners, but I couldn’t find any info about them imparting a spicy quality. Can anyone advise me on why this happened?
Wholesome Yum
Hi Dana, sometimes sweeteners with sugar alcohols like erythritol or xylitol can create a different taste sensation that other sweeteners. Some describe it as cooling, others describe it as burning. Feel free to experiment with different sweeteners (and check my sweetener conversion calculator to find one that works the best for you!
Laurie
My honey has just started the keto diet. Normally asks for junk food during TV time every night. This is the alternative. Only 5 net carbs! Yay
Kara
This is delicious! I was itching for a cheat day and this scratched that itch. This was extremely rich. I served it with some warmed (previously frozen) raspberries.
Two changes to report: I ran out of bittersweet chocolate so the last 2 oz were special dark chocolate (97%). I accidentally used the same granular monkfruit eryth blend in the filling so it’s got a bit of graininess, but the flavours are spot on. I’m hoping it may soften more in the fridge overnight, but let’s be honest, I’m eating all of it anyways! Too good not to!
Giselle Cox
Tastes great. But, I added the calories and carbs of my ingredients as i made it. The carbs per serving came out the same, but the calories in mine are twice as high. I can’t figure out why that would be the case. I even used lower fat cream cheese.
theresa
easy to make and loved this treat
Brooke
Lower fat cream cheese has higher carbs due to added sugars &/or thickeners (usually guar gum). I went through this whole ordeal with cream cheese, when started making Maya’s original cheesecake back in the fall. I hunted high & low! I went from Trader Joe’s, Sprouts, local health food (Mother’s) , traditional grocery stores, Walmart, Costco (they didn’t even offer option!) online, etc. (Walmart carried almost an excessive amount of options, including organic.)
I prefer to use w/grass fed dairy (just stop- a cream cheese option labeled such w/o carbs doesn’t exist). So, organic. Oddly, every brand I could locate online/in person had a higher carb count @1 to 2 carbs per 30g/2tbsp serving. (Why does cream cheese have any darn carbs anyhow right?)
Nevertheless, try as I might, the lowest in carbs @ 0 (less than 1 carb) per srvg, was good ol’ Philadelphia cream cheese, offered nearly everywhere. (Is it even RSBT free? Idk) Nufchetel cheese, whatever the brand, nearly identical to cream cheese, has less calories & surprise!: less carbs than all other cream cheeses @ approx. 1carb /srvg. I used that several times since I could locate it in organic option & cake was just as delightful.
So, if you must have organic (they were mostly 2-3 carbs per serving, Organic Valley was 2 carbs) just be mindful of carbs (& cost!), otherwise, pickup Philadelphia @ Walmart. They sell the big quantity @ lowest price… so you’re not spending $4/per 8 oz. pckg. (Which I did. Several times. )
Meghan
Could this be made in a mini cupcake pan without liners? What would be best way to prep the pan?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Meghan, I haven’t tried that so am not sure. They might be difficult to remove without springform sides or liners, but you could try greasing well and see how it goes.
Kelly
Is the sweetener in the crust also powdered or no?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Kelly, No, it’s granulated in the crust.
R
I love the cheese cake. I just wish I had read the note about not using granulated sweetener. I have powdered in my cupboard. It’s very crunchy, the rest of the family won’t eat it but that just means there’s more for me. I cook every day and get my recipes off the internet so I skip to the recipe box. It would be nice if the recipe box said powdered sugar. In any case, I will make it again! Thanks.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
I’m glad you still liked the taste despite the sweetener mixup. The recipe card does say specifically powdered sweetener for the filling.
Katie
I made this afternoon. At first it was going well. I was impressed at how easy the crust formed. I’ve had trouble with almond flour before when making crust. When it came to the filling, it was so hard it just clung to the mixing beater. To smooth it out a bit I added some heavy whooping cream. That seemed to do the trick. Now I’m just waiting for it to chill and I will serve it to my family tonight.
Belinda
Love this recipe! Used the Sola brand granular sugar and used a coffee bean grinder to turn the granular into powder form. Got loads of compliments!
Kat
Can I use Lily’s stevia sweetened Chocolate instead of Unsweetened? And cut back on the erythritol? Thank you!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Kat, Yes, you probably could, but I haven’t tested it to suggest amounts. It would be way less chocolate-y, though, because Lily’s is much less intense than unsweetened baking chocolate.
Joanne
Monk fruit powered sugar is awesome, very sweet! It’s 1tsp= 4 sugar alcohols in monk fruit sugar. So, at 11/4 cup that equates to 240 sugar alcohols in the entire cheesecake. It’s definitely good, nut remember what sugar alcohols does to you! I’ll be freezing some slices for future desserts! Wayyyy yummmyyyy
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Joanne, I’m glad you like the cheesecake. Powdered monk fruit blend contains erythritol (monk fruit itself is not a sugar alcohol). Erythritol is technically a sugar alcohol, but works differently than most sugar alcohols and very rarely causes stomach upset. That being said, I absolutely agree that sweets – even sugar free sweets – are best in moderation.
Annabelle Rempel
Can I use erythritol that is not a powdered version? Thanks
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Annabelle, No, it will be grainy. If you only have granulated, you can try powdering it in a food processor, but often it won’t get as fine as a commercial powdered one.
Jan
There is a cocoa powder conversion online. You have to add butter too when substituting.
Hayley
I’m not sure what I’ve done wrong. My filling is hard and crumbly! So hard to pack down into the pan. Not sure how this one is gonna set and turn out :/
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Hayley, I haven’t had that happen before. Did you use all the same ingredients and amounts? Was your cream cheese softened at room temperature? Did the chocolate overheat and seize? These are the possibly issues I can think of.
Jenifer Trzepacz
Omg! I made this cheesecake. It was soooo good. It was very rich which is good because I can’t eat too much at once. Since I’ve started this low carb diet I have only made your recipes and have yet to make one that isn’t delicious! Thank you for making this diet so easy with your wonderful recipes!
Rebecca M
My filling didn’t come out very creamy, a bit crumbly but still tastes great. I uses stevia/erythritol blend over the monfruit. Did I not blend enough or was it the sweetener? Any ideas for next time to correct this?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Rebecca, Sorry to hear that – I’m glad it still tastes great though. Most stevia/erythritol blends are not powdered, so that was probably the issue. You’d need to powder the sweetener.
Bruce
We loved the flavor of this, but even using the powdered sweetener it was VERY grainy. Kinda crunchy overall. So if we can figure that out, we’d make this all the time as it was incredibly good, just had a bad mouth feel.
Kristen Wood
This is so ridiculously delicious. I can’t wait to make it again!!
Paul
This looks amazing! Definitely going to try making it soon. I was just wonder what the conversion would be if I used swerve instead of the monk fruit sweetener?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Paul, In this case it would be the same amount.
Diane
This looks great!! I’m dying to make something chocolatey but only have cocoa powder that I’m thinking about trying to use. Do you have any substitution advice? Thanks for all your amazing recipes!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Diane, You could try it, but there is more risk that the filling won’t be smooth in texture.
Estelle
Haven’t made this yet. Can’t figure out the substitute for Monk fruit Erythritol blend. And I guess to be sure can I use Swerve powdered sweetener in place of monk fruit for filling?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Estelle, Yes, you can use that instead. Check the low carb sweetener conversion calculator here.
Donna
Let me say that I love so many of your recipes! But I know not all recipes are for everyone. I was so excited about trying this….I’m a baker/dessert maker, have been for almost 40 years, but this recipe wasn’t good at all. I SO wanted to love it, because I just LOVE chocolate anything. 2 full size unsweetened bars seemed like a bit much, but I did it anyway. Each bar is 4 oz, so that meant melting 2 full size bars to do 8 oz. I couldn’t handle it. No one in our family could eat but 1 or 2 bites. It sat in the fridge for days, then my husband had to throw the entire thing out. I hated wasting all of those ingredients. I’ll just stick to a basic baked cheesecake, which we love and drizzle Lily’s chocolate over it.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Donna, Sorry to hear that it wasn’t for you. It’s not quite clear from your description if something went wrong or if it’s just not a recipe you like. Did you use the same type of sweetener and same amount? Was it overly chocolate-y for you? I didn’t find it to be too much chocolate but everyone is different. Hope you like the classic keto cheesecake better.
Donna Herring
Yeah, I followed the recipe exactly…I always do the first time around to anyone’s recipe, then change it if necessary. I’m a little baffled about where the issue is with us all. Perhaps we just liked the baked kind. It did seem overly chocolately to us, but that seems crazy for me to say because even my youngest kiddo, who loves chocolate everything, just couldn’t eat it either. I can’t pinpoint it since it’s been a bit since we made it now..so trying to remember what it was.
Donna Herring
Okay, I think I’ve found the issue with our family. It’s not you, it’s US! Recently I made a buttercream chocolate frosting from someone else’s site. It had some cream cheese in it too. None of our family liked it. It reminded me of this cheesecake. So apparently the problem is we don’t like the chocolate cream cheese combination. Isn’t that weird? Every one of us taste sour chocolate. That is the issue. So I gave the frosting away to a friend and she loves it. I’m sure she’d love this cheesecake too. Now I know. So anyone reading these comments, if you’ve had the cream cheese/chocolate mixture combo before and love it, you’ll love her cheesecake too!
Clyde
Hi Maya, thank you for all these great recipes! I will be making this one for my wife but have one question first. The recipe calls for a blend of Monk fruit and erythritol, what ratio would you suggest?
Rabia
Can I use hershey’s unsweetened cocoa powder instead of organic one?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Rabia, Yes, you can. It doesn’t have to be organic.
Sarah
This cheesecake looks heavenly!! Perfect for Valentine’s Day.
Clyde Tarr
Hello Maya and thank you for all your great recipes! I am about to make this cheesecake for my wife and the only question I have is about the crust which calls for a Monk fruit erythritol blend. Could you explain what the ratios are? Thanks so much!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Clyde, The recipe uses a pre-made blend (single product) that is a 1:1 replacement for sugar. You can click the ingredient link to see the one I use.
Brittany
I’m really wanting to make this but the only sweeteners that I have are Liquid Stevia and Stevia in the Raw. Could you offer any insight on using either of those in this recipe?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Brittany, I haven’t tried either of these for this recipe, but you can check the sweetener conversion calculator for the equivalent amount.
Anne Lawton
This cheesecake looks so good and I love that it’s no bake
Lynda
I made the filling recipe to make cheesecake truffles and it turned out great! I used Swerve confectioners since I didn’t have powdered monkfruit. I was a bit confused as to whether to use the same quantity of swerve since the conversion calculator said 1 would need 1 3/4 cup swerve. From what I could figure out, powdered monkfruit is 2:1, but the regular monkfruit is 1:1. Is that correct? I started with one cup Swerve and it was sweet enough for my taste so I didn’t add any more and risk an aftertaste. Curious to know whether in this recipe you would recommend 1 3/4 cup swerve confectioners and if it would have changed the consistency/taste . I have only been doing low carb for about 6 months and haven’t tried monkfruit yet. So far I have only tried Swerve and stevia and do find both have a bit of an aftertaste. I will have to give monkfruit a try next.
I put the filling in fridge to chill for a few hours, then rolled into balls, and rolled into unsweetened cocoa. Then I melted some Lilys chocolate chips with a little butter, and drizzled on top. Finally I topped each truffle with a raspberry (dipped in the melted chocolate so it would stay in place). They look very festive. I am taking some to a family Christmas dinnner tonight 🙂 Thanks so much for the recipe. Merry Christmas!
Wholesome Yum L
Hi Lynda! I am so glad you enjoyed the recipe. It is easiest to use a monk fruit blend that contains another sweetener, like erythritol. You can use this blend to replace sugar 1:1 in recipes. Have you seen my Keto Low Carb Sweeteners Conversion Chart, Calculator, & Guide page?
Kathryn
Love cheesecake and this looks absolutely delicious! And, that video! Yum!
Lindsey Dietz
OMG, so RICH and decadent! Looooove!
Victoria Wojciechowski
Love, love love this recipe! Super easy and tastes amazing. Wow! I topped it with melted 85% chocolate and butter drizzle to make it look pretty and and a touch of dark chocolate flavor. Everyone LOVED it! Thank you, V
Cheri
Can’t wait to make this chocolate no-bake cheesecake! I was wondering if I could substitute 8 oz. of sugar free chocolate chips for the baking chocolate? Would that effect the sweetness?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Cheri, That would make it way too sweet, and probably not chocolate-y enough. Baking chocolate is much more rich than sugar-free chocolate chips. There might be a way to do it but would require playing with ratios of other ingredients.
Tiffany Swedeen
I did this actually- I used Lily’s dark chocolate chips melted and mixed with cream cheese instead of the baking chocolate and sweetener powder. It was a huge hit!
What I would change in the future is to find the monk fruit blend for the crust. I used 1:1 ratio baking stevia and it definitely has the chemical flavor. I topped it with fresh raspberries and homemade coconut whipped cream and the flavor combination was amazing. Although the fruit probably makes it less keto-friendly.
Thanks!
Gloria
My cheesecake filling does not look like yours. It’s only about a half inch thick and I am pretty sure my pan is only 9 inches. What did I do wrong!
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Gloria, If it’s only half an inch thick, your pan is definitely bigger or some amount of the ingredients was smaller. Even a pan that’s an inch bigger in diameter will make a big difference. I’m guessing the pan is the most likely difference – did you measure to double check?
Victoria Wojciechowski
Amazing recipe! My first cheesecake and it was super easy, very rich and creamy. Took it to a dinner party and everyone raved! I’ll make this again. Drizzled a little melted 85% dark chocolate over the top to finish off the look. ❤️ Thanks for the fantastic resource! V

Deanna Herrmann
How would you make this if you want to bake it? I’ve been anxiously waiting for your chocolate cheesecake recipe but unfortunately I prefer baking and not chilling. I’m still grateful for this recipe!! Just wondering what I could alter so I can bake it.
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Deanna, Sorry, I haven’t tested this one as a baked recipe. The recipe would require modifications because baked cheesecakes contain eggs.
Logan Broadbent
Hey Maya,
I’m trying to make the “KETO LOW CARB NO BAKE CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE RECIPE” for my sister and her family this evening. Unfortunately, I mixed the crust ingredients and it’s still way too dry and powdery! Can you check the ratios of flour (1-3/4 cup), cocoa(3tbsp), etc. and confirm these are correct? Let me know if I did something wrong 🙂
Maya | Wholesome Yum
Hi Logan, Sorry you had issues with the crust. The amounts on the recipe card are correct. It’s hard to say what went wrong without being in the kitchen with you, but I’m happy to help. Did you watch the video – at what point did yours start to look different? Did you use finely ground, blanched almond flour? Did you press the melted butter into the dry ingredients to help them mix together? If you prefer, you can use a hand mixer to help the crust ingredients mix better. The end result should be crumbly, but not powdery.
Dini
This sounds really easy and looks so decadent. Thank you so much for all the tips!
Vivian
I made the meatloaf my family and i loved it.
