No-Bake Chocolate Cheesecake Tips

You’ll need to know a few things before making this keto chocolate cheesecake.

• Use blanched almond flour, not almond meal. Almond meal will make the crust taste grainy.
• Melt the butter before you mix the crust ingredients.
• Soften the cream cheese before you mix the filling ingredients.
• Use a springform pan. It is easier to slice and remove pieces of cheesecake than round cake pans.
• You can use unsweetened baking dark chocolate if you want to make this a richer cheesecake.

Ingredients

There are two parts to this no-bake chocolate cheesecake—the crust and the filling. Here’s what I used in both parts.

Gluten-Free Chocolate Crust

• 2 c. finely ground blanched almond flour
• 3 tbsp. cocoa powder
• 3 tbsp. sugar-free sweetener blend
• 6 tbsp. butter, melted
• 1½ tsp. vanilla extract

Keto Chocolate Cheesecake Filling

• 8 oz. unsweetened baking chocolate
• 3 8 oz. packages cream cheese, softened
• 1 c. powdered sugar-free sweetener blend
• 1½ tsp. vanilla extract

STEP 1: Line the bottom of a nonstick springform pan with parchment paper.

STEP 2: In a medium mixing bowl, mix together almond flour, cocoa powder, 3 tablespoons sweetener blend, melted butter and 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract until well combined. It should be moist enough to press together, but still slightly crumbly.

STEP 3: Press mixture into bottom of prepared springform pan to form crust. Chill in refrigerator while preparing the filling.

STEP 4: Place unsweetened chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second increments until melted. Do not overcook. Let cool slightly.

STEP 5: Beat together cream cheese, powdered sweetener and vanilla extract until fluffy; add melted chocolate and beat until smooth. Be sure to taste the mixture to make sure it is sweet enough! If not, add more sweetener to taste.

STEP 6: Spoon filling into pan over the crust, then smooth with a spatula to make sure the pan is evenly filled.

STEP 7: Chill in the refrigerator until set—at least 2 hours or overnight.
