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 ! However, this chocolate is only available seasonally — if you see it, stock up while you can.

Ingredients & Substitutions

Here’s what you’ll need to make this sugar-free no bake dessert:

For the crust:

• Blanched Almond Flour
• Monk Fruit Allulose Blend
• Sea salt
• Butter
• Vanilla extract

For the filling:

• Cream cheese
• Powdered Monk Fruit Allulose Blend
• Sour cream
• Lemon juice
• Vanilla extract
• Sea salt
• Heavy cream

For the chocolate drizzle:

• Bulletproof Milk Style Chocolate Bar

The amounts of each ingredient are listed on the recipe card below.

How To Make No Bake Keto Cheesecake

Make the crust.

• Mix dry ingredients. In a large bowl, stir together almond flour, Besti, and salt.

• Add wet ingredients. In a small bowl, stir together melted butter and vanilla. Add to dry ingredients and stir until uniform.

• Press. Crust mixture will be crumbly, but sticky enough to press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan lined with parchment paper. Chill while making filling.

Make the cheesecake filling.

• Beat cream cheese. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and powdered Besti with a hand mixer, until smooth and creamy. Beat in sour cream, lemon juice, vanilla, and sea salt until smooth.

• Make whipped cream. Swap the beater attachments with whisk attachments and whisk heavy cream in a small bowl until stiff peaks form.

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

• Assemble. Transfer filling into pan over crust and smooth top with a rubber spatula or icing spatula.

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

Make the chocolate topping.

• Melt. Melt Bulletproof Milk Style Chocolate Bar in a double boiler on the stove.

• Drizzle. Remove cheesecake from the pan and drizzle with chocolate.

TIP: You can also slice the cheesecake, place on a plate and then drizzle with chocolate for a gorgeous presentation.

• 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 (33% more). The filling uses powdered monk fruit allulose blend , so that the filling is mooth, not gritty. You could also use powdered allulose (33% more). Check the sweetener conversion chart for how much to use of other sweeteners.

Recipe 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!

The Basic Keto Meal Formula

Eating keto doesn’t have to be complicated! While there are plenty of delicious easy keto recipes to choose from, you don’t even have to cook from a recipe to get started.

Simply follow the keto cheat sheet formula of protein + veggie + fat for your meals.

Be sure to choose a moderate amount of protein, only low carb vegetables (mostly ones that grow above ground), and generous fat to attain an optimal macro ratio. That’s approximately 60-75% of calories from fat, 20-25% protein, and 5-10% from carbohydrates. The table below will give you ideas for what to choose.

Understanding Macros

Macros are macronutrients for short. They include fat, protein, and carbohydrates.

You can calculate your own macros using the macro calculator , but the macro keto cheat sheet below will explain how to look at macros when following a keto lifestyle.

Carbs Are A Limit.

Keeping carbs low is what gets you into ketosis and keeps you there. Ketosis means that you’re using fat as your primary energy source instead of sugar, and requires keeping carbs very low.

A good starting point is 20-25 grams net carbs per day, but you can experiment after a few weeks to see if your body stays in ketosis at higher levels. People who are very active may be able to do more and stay in ketosis, up to around 50 grams per day.

“Carbs are a limit” means that you set a limit for how many carbs to eat per day and don’t exceed it. You don’t have to hit that limit, so if you’re under that’s okay, just don’t go over. Ideally most of your carbs would come from low carb vegetables, and if you’re eating enough veggies, you’ll usually get close to the limit naturally.

A common misconception is that reaching ketosis requires a certain macro ratio, but it’s really only restricting your carb intake that gets you there [ * ]. In the absence of sufficient carbs to use as energy, the body will switch to using fat as fuel. This is called the metabolic state of ketosis.

Protein Is A Goal.

Protein is made up of amino acids, the building blocks of all our cells. It’s a crucial for keeping our muscles strong and for many cellular functions [ * ].

“Protein is a goal” means that you always want to eat enough protein to reach the goal each day, but not exceed it too much. You want enough for your needs, but excess protein can trigger gluconeogenesis, which is protein being converted to sugar [ * ] and can kick you out of ketosis.

Fat Is A Lever.

Fat is the primary macronutrient in a keto lifestyle, because being in ketosis means that fat is your primary fuel source. Fat as a fuel source will come from your food, and if you are losing weight, from your body.

A big advantage of a keto lifestyle is the high fat intake. It keeps you full and satisfied, making it easier to stick to, and using it as the primary fuel source makes it easier on your body to burn body fat, with a lower chance of breaking down your muscle (provided you get enough protein).

Aside from reaching your protein goal and limiting your carbs, the remainder of your calories on a keto diet comes from fat.

Don’t fear fat – it’s your main energy source on keto, and getting enough of it trains your body to use fat for fuel instead of sugar. That means that as long as you are not overdoing your overall calorie intake, you’ll efficiently burn your body fat for fuel as well.

“Fat is a lever” means that you can increase or decrease your fat intake depending on your goals and hunger levels. Increase it (along with exercise) to gain muscle, or decrease it to lose weight.

Keto Food Swaps

One of my favorite challenges is creating recipes, or just discovering, keto food swaps. These are delicious keto replacements for traditionally high-carb or high-sugar foods.

So, I created this keto diet cheat sheet with all the swaps in one place! I also have more keto food swaps in my Easy Keto Cookbook .

Keto Food List

When looking for a keto cheat sheet printable, the most-requested information is a keto food list.

The great thing is that keto doesn’t have to feel restrictive. It’s incredibly satisfying and there’s such a wide variety of foods you can eat!

Foods To Eat On Keto

• Leafy greens – Such as spinach, chard, and lettuce.
• Above-ground veggies – Such as peppers, zucchini, and cauliflower.
• Full-fat cream & cheese – Such as heavy cream, sour cream, and full-fat hard cheeses.
• Natural meats – Such as beef, lamb, and pork.
• Berries – Such as raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries.
• Avocados
• Unsweetened nut milks – Such as almond milk and coconut milk.
• Almond flour and coconut flour
• Eggs
• Healthy fats – Such as coconut oil, avocado oil, olive oil and butter.

Foods To Avoid On Keto

• White flour & sugar
• Rice & grains – Such as barley, wheat, and corn.
• Milk & yogurt – Such as fruit on the bottom yogurt, sweetened Greek yogurt, and all milk.
• Cereal
• Processed food – Such as granola bars, candy
• Most fruit – Such as apples, bananas, and grapes
• Hydrogenated fats – Such as vegetable oil, soybean oil, and margarine

Electrolyte Basics

Getting enough electrolytes is crucial for anyone, but especially so on a keto diet. The reason is that ketosis has a diuretic effect, which increases excretion of water and electrolytes, especially sodium [ * ]. This is often the cause of the keto flu.

For more details on electrolytes and avoiding keto flu, check out the full keto flu guide here .

The important thing to know about electrolytes is that replenishing them will keep keto flu away and keep your body functioning well. I always recommend an electrolyte drink and whole food sources of anything your body needs before resorting to supplements, so I made a list of what to eat to get each of the 3 major electrolytes – sodium, magnesium and potassium.

Here’s your keto diet cheat sheet for getting electrolytes from food:

Keto Diet Types

People follow a keto lifestyle for different reasons. Some do it just to lose weight, others are after better overall health, increased energy, and reduced inflammation.

Strictly speaking, the defining factor of a keto diet is the metabolic state of ketosis, which is achieved by restricting carbs. However, many people (myself included) also reduce or eliminate processed, inflammatory, or low-nutrient foods.

Below is your keto cheat sheet summary of the different ways that people follow keto. You choose what works best for your goals and lifestyle!

• Strict Keto – Up to 20-30g net carbs daily, count all calories and macros, and eat clean, unprocessed foods.
• Lazy Keto – Up to 20-30g net carbs daily, and track only net carbs OR eat keto foods without tracking.
• Dirty Keto – Up to 20-30g net carbs daily, with “if it fits your macros” approach including processed foods.
• Low Carb – Up to 50-100g net carbs daily, less strict.
