Ingredients
Keto Cheesecake Crust
- Walnuts – you can use any nuts you like or even almond flour for almond flour crust. I like using walnuts as I love snacking on them.
- Melted Butter
- Swerve – you can replace it with any sugar-free sweetener.
Cream Cheese Layer
- Cream Cheese – room temperature
- Heavy Whipping Cream
- Gelatin – I use Dr. Oetker Gelatin Powder. If you are using a different brand, please check how much you need to use on the package.
- Swerve – you can replace it with low-carb sweeteners of your choice.
- Vanilla Extract
Sugar Free Raspberry Jam
- Raspberries
- Water
- Swerve – you can replace it with any sweetener.
Directions
Prepare the Crust:
- Place the walnuts in a blender or food processor.
- Grind the walnuts to a fine powder, then add the melted butter and sweetener.
- Mix until smooth and place it on the bottom of your springform pan lined with parchment paper.
- Press the buttery crust well and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes while you work on the cream cheese mixture.
Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture:
- Measure 3 grams of gelatin (around 1 teaspoon). I use Dr. Oetker animal-based gelatin, which is keto-friendly. If using different gelatin, read the instructions on the package. You need gelatin for 150 milliliters of liquid.
- Mix the gelatin with the heavy whipping cream. You can warm the cream before or after adding the gelatin.
- In a food processor or high-speed blender, beat the cream cheese until fluffy. You can use electric mixer as well.
- Add your sweetener and mix again.
- Add the heavy whipping cream with gelatin. Make sure the mixture is not too hot, or the cream may curdle.
- Add 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract and mix until combined.
- Take the crust out of the fridge. It should be firm now. Pour the cheesecake batter over it.
- Refrigerate for 1-2 hours or until the mixture is firm.
Make the Raspberry Sauce:
- Add the raspberries, water and sweetener to a sauce pan. You can use fresh or frozen raspberries. Simmer the jam on medium heat until it thickens.
- Let it simmer for 20-30 minutes until it reaches a thick consistency like jam.
- You can use a little gelatin to thicken the jam, but I prefer to let it thicken naturally.
- Let the jam cool while you wait for the cheesecake to harden.
Final Assembly:
Ideally, refrigerate the cheesecake overnight, but you can enjoy it right away!
When the cheesecake is firm, spread the jam on top of the cheesecake.
