Keto Blueberry Cheesecake Bars (no bake)
Cheesecakes are one of my favorite keto deserts simply because keto cheesecakes taste just like non keto ones therefore it's easier for you not to miss cheesecake on a Keto diet.
I agree not all cheesecakes can convert easily like an Ube cheesecake. I haven't found a way to make the filling low carb maybe just use the Ube flavor and leave out the jam? I digress..
Today's cheesecake is super easy to make and requires a few ingredients which you probably already have in your keto pantry. This recipe includes a little extra step which is totally optional. The toasting of the almond flour.
I love that you can easily use this method to make any cheesecake sugar free, including this no bake lemon cheesecake!
Ingredients needed
Cheesecakes can be customized with a variety of ingredients. To stay inline with your macros, you need to choose your ingredients wisely. Choose ingredients that are Keto Friendly only, when making keto cheesecakes.
- For the crust
- Blanched Almond flour
- Powdered Sweetener I use the monkfruit erythritol blend. If you already have the granular sweetener at home, watch my quick one minute video on how to make your own homemade sweetener
- Butter
- Cheesecake filling
- Block cheese not the ones in a tube
- Heavy cream
- Powdered Sweetener
- Pure Vanilla extract
- Unflavored Gelatin (for the gelatin method)
To use Gelatin or not to use gelatin?
Using gelatin in no bake cheesecakes is a matter of choice. A no bake keto cheesecake works like a non keto one. The only difference is the sweetener of choice and ingredients used for the crust.
There is also a slight difference in the texture of no cheesecakes made with gelatin. The filling tends to be a bit denser than the cheesecakes made without gelatin. Like I said it's a matter of choice.
I will show you how to make a no bake Keto blueberry cheesecake bars with or without gelatin so you can choose which method you prefer.
