Dessert lovers, this no bake keto cheesecake is for you! It’s simple, uses basic ingredients, and requires no baking. This easy low carb no bake cheesecake is rich and creamy (just like cheesecake should be) and is a no-bake version of my popular classic keto cheesecake recipe. It’s the dessert to serve if you want to play a fun game on people – they can never tell that this is keto! 🙂
The chocolate drizzle on this quick keto cheesecake no bake recipe takes it to the next level and gives you a nutrition boost, because we’re using a Bulletproof Chocolate Bar, which is better than just any keto chocolate. It’s super smooth and creamy, uses natural keto sweeteners instead of sugar, and even has a boost of high-quality MCT oil. Since this amazing oil has a low smoke point, it’s perfect for no-bake treats!
I’m so happy to partner with Bulletproof for this recipe, you know I love using MCT oil for a boost in keto butter coffee and keto bulletproof tea! However, this chocolate is only available seasonally — if you see it, stock up while you can.

- Fold. Fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture. Be careful not to stir to avoid breaking down the whipped cream.

- Chill. Cover cheesecake with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate until set, preferably overnight.

Low Carb No Bake Cheesecake FAQs
Is no bake cheesecake gluten-free?
Most no bake cheesecake recipes will be made with a wheat-based crust, so would not be gluten-free.
This cheesecake is gluten-free as the crust is made with almond flour.
Is no bake cheesecake keto?
Most no bake cheesecakes will not be considered keto as they will be sweetened with white sugar.
This cheesecake is sweetened with natural Besti sugar substitute, making it a great keto alternative that’s just as sweet without the sugar. Each slice has 6.4 grams net carbs.
Can I use a different sweetener?
I prefer using monk fruit allulose blend in this keto cheesecake no bake recipe, as it’s the closest alternative to sugar, but what’s most important is that you use both granulated and powdered for the various components.
The crust uses a granulated sweetener, so you could also use allulose or erythritol (33% more).
The filling uses powdered monk fruit allulose blend, so that the filling is mooth, not gritty. You could also use powdered allulose or powdered erythritol (33% more). Check the sweetener conversion chart for how much to use of other sweeteners.
Sugar-Free No Bake Cheesecake Variations
This is a basic sugar-free no bake cheesecake recipe, but if you want to change it up, here are some ideas:
- Fruit swirl cheesecake – Try adding a swirl of sugar-free cranberry sauce or raspberry sauce.
- Chocolate swirl – Instead of topping with the melted Bulletproof Chocolate Bar, try melting it with just a tiny amount of heavy cream first, then swirl directly into the filling before chilling.
- Pumpkin – Replace the heavy cream with 1/2 cup pumpkin puree.
- No Bake Chocolate Cheesecake – Full recipe at this link!
Storage Instructions
Store the cheesecake in the fridge for up to 3-5 days.
Can I freeze a no bake cheesecake?
Yes, you can freeze the cheesecake for 2-3 months. I like to slice it first and wrap slices individually. Then you can just take one out of the freezer when cravings strike!

Keto No Bake Cheesecake Crust:
-
In a large bowl, stir together the almond flour, Besti, and salt.
-
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.
Sugar-Free No Bake Cheesecake Filling:
-
In a large bowl, use a hand mixer with beater attachments to beat the cream cheese and powdered Besti at medium-low speed, until creamy.
-
Beat in the sour cream, lemon juice, vanilla, and sea salt, until smooth.
-
In a medium bowl, use the hand mixer with whisk attachment to beat the heavy cream at high speed, until stiff peaks form. Scrape down the sides at the end and beat again to ensure all the cream has stiff peaks.
-
Use a rubber spatula to fold the whipped cream into the bowl with the cream cheese mixture. Use a folding motion, do not stir.
-
Transfer the filling into the pan over the crust. Smooth the top with a rubber spatula, or for a smoother top, an icing spatula.
-
Cover the cheesecake with plastic or foil. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to set. Run a knife along the edges of the springform pan before releasing.
Chocolate Topping:
-
Melt the Bulletproof chocolate in a double boiler on the stove. Drizzle over the cheesecake, or slice first and then drizzle over the slices.

0Can you give us the recipe?
Wholesome Yum D
0Hi Areija, You can find the recipe directly above where you left this comment.
Mélinda
0This is my very first time making a no bake cheese cake (keto or not).
I was a little stress making the filling as I had never “folded” whipped cream in into cream cheese. I was wondering how I would know once I am done.
I just went for it and so far in the 2 slices we ate, there was no clumps of cream cheese or clumps of whipped cream.
We loved the result!
Tracy
0Does this recipe work with Splenda?
Wholesome Yum D
0Hi Tracy, Don’t recommend using Splenda. Check out my Keto Sweetener Guide for more info.
Elizabeth
0Loved it.. not only did I make it for my husband’s birthday as he is now on keto but our diabetic friend could enjoy aswell. I actually used sugar free digestive biscuits and didn’t put as much monk fruit sugar in. I topped it off with fanned strawberries and 85% dark chocolate drizzled over… big 2 thumbs up all around.. I will be making this again!!
Karen H
0Can I use yogurt instead of sourcream?
Maya | Wholesome Yum
0Hi Karen, I haven’t tried that, but yes, it should work.
Kim

0This was amazing. Even better than traditional cheesecake. I followed the directions to a T, and I am glad I did, it needs no tweeking. 5 stars!
Diane Warren
0I made the no bake cheesecake today and everyone loved it. I cut the recipe in half – keeping the full amount of sour cream and whipping cream- and added the zest of one lemon. I used 6 ramekins for individual servings. It was a big hit!!!
Diane
Azar
0Love it! ❤
Sandra M.
0Hello!
I LOVE your recipes – you are a real go-to for my keto/low carb cooking!
Can I speed the chilling process by chilling this cheesecake in the freezer – I just found the recipe and I don’t have enough fridge chill time if I want to serve it tonight. How long in the freezer is long enough (but not too long), would you say? I need to make and serve it for this evening, May 11 2021.
Also, I have Greek yogurt – can I sub that for the sour cream?
Thanks so much! Sandra
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Sandra, It will still likely need a couple of hours in the freezer, but it should work.
Alli
0Any dairy-free options to substitute for Sour Cream & Heavy Cream? I’m a sucker for a good cheesecake!
Wholesome Yum M
0Alli, You can use coconut cream in place of both sour cream and heavy cream. Be sure to just use the thick part of the cream.
Linda
0This recipe is great. I did make 2 small modifications because I’ve made similar ones before… I increased the sour cream to 3/4 of a cup and the whipped cream to 1/2 cup and added a “dash” more lemon juice. the result was fabulous; I’m sure the original recipe was fabulous too!
Jane
0Could you make this crustless and make in a pie plate?
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Jane, Yes! Other readers have reported doing this with success.
Kristi
0My first attempt at a keto dessert and it was amazing!
Renee Goerger
0Thank you for this amazing no-bake cheesecake recipe. I don’t even eat a keto diet and yet this is my favorite cheesecake recipe!
Nellie Tracy
0Great keto recipe. I love cheesecake and this is a great recipe!
Roberta
0Could you please suggest another option instead the bulletproof bar, as we in EU can’t have that, unavaible here? I thought to try using simple unsweetened baking chocolate or another brand cacao bar made by cocoa mass, erythritol, MCT powder (with acacia fiber as carrier, no casinate nor matodextring or other rubbish fillers): I was wondering if the lack of iunulin could in any way change something. In that case, should I add a tiny bit of it…? It may be a silly question, but being the ingredients quite expensive it’s better ask before wasting them, you can understand 😉
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Roberta, Any sugar-free chocolate will work fine as a drizzle for this recipe. If the brand you choose ends up being a little too thick to drizzle, feel free to add a small amount of coconut oil to get the correct consistency.
Elizabeth Timmons
0I just used sugar free chocolate melting wafers and a lite bit of butter. Worked great
Mary V
0Has anyone made this In a 9×13 pan? Any modifications other than making sure to grease the pan to avoid it sticking? I need to travel and would like to take it with me
Wholesome Yum D
0Hi Mary, I have never tried making this in a larger pan, you may have to increase the serving size to adjust for a larger pan.
