NO BAKE KETO CHEESECAKE – QUICK, NO CRUST

Last weekend, I did some baking, non-keto, sugar loaded, addictive baking. As I am in Ketosis right now, I did not taste any of it. I made some very happy friends, but It also made myself crave something sweet. Which is why, I came up with this No Bake Keto Cheesecake.

It took me just a little over half an hour to make, and I was in heaven.
I loved it.

A QUICK NO BAKE KETO CHEESECAKE

I am a food blogger, I spend a lot of my time cooking, baking, writing recipes, taking photos and cleaning dishes. The last thing I want is to spend hours in the kitchen making one dish. That’s why, most of my recipes are easy and speedy.
This one is no exception.

You will only need 5 ingredients to make this quick no bake keto cheesecake

1. Heavy Cream.
2. Cream Cheese.
3. Stevia.
4. One Lemon.
5. Frozen Berries (of your choice)

Of course, you can make this without having any special kitchen tools. Just a whisk, a spatula and a couple bowls.
How awesome!

SWEETENER.

This cheesecake has been made without Eryritol. I am kind of intolerant to it and did not feel like taking a risk.
That been said, you can definitely go ahead and use your sweetner of choice, whether it is Monk Fruit Extract or Erythritol. You are just going to have to adjust the quantities to make sure that your cheesecake is sweet enough

HOW TO MAKE A KETO CHEESECAKE

Here is the formula to make any type of no-bake cheesecake you want.

1. Start by blending room temp cream cheese with your vanilla extract and sweetener.
2. Add your whipped cream to it and fold it in gently.
3. Let it sit in the fridge for at least 20 minutes.
4. Boom! You got a vanilla cheesecake.

You can now make any type of cheesecake you want.

Keep in mind that if you add more dry ingredients, like cocoa powder, you’re going to have to use a larger quantity of whipped cream.

Ingredients

• 1 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream
• 3 Tsp Stevia Extract You might need to add more, depending on how sweet you want it to be.
• 1 Lemon Zested and juiced
• 250 g cream cheese at room temp

Strawberry Jam

• 1/2 Tsp Stevia Extract
• 1 Cup Frozen Strawberries You can use any frozen berries you like.

Instructions

For the strawberry jam

1. In a nonstick sauce pan, cook your strawberries and stevia until you get a thick consistency (jam like). This should take 5-8 minutes.
2. Set it aside and let it completely cool down.

For the cheesecake

1. Using a hand mixer, mix your cream cheese, 2 tbsp of lemon juice, lemon zest and stevia (or sweetener of choice) until you get a creamy consistency.
2. (You can use an electric hand mixer) In a separate bowl, start whisking your whipping cream until it get thick and firm. Don't over whip it, the cream should be just thick enough that it stays on your whisk once you lift it. If you over whip it, add a little splash of heavy cream on mix it gently. 
3. Add half of your whipped cream to your cream cheese filling and fold it in. Now add the other half, this time mix it in gently to make sure that your creamy filling remains light.
4. Take 4 ramekins (tea cups, or espresso cups would work too), and place your cheesecake filling. Using the back of the spoon, spread it evenly and make sure the top is somewhat flat. Cover your ramekins and let them chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, ideally 1 hour.
5. Take out of the fridge and scoop 1 tbsp of your berry jam and place it on top of your cheesecake. 
6. Serve and enjoy.
