KETO No-Bake Strawberry Cheesecake

My keto no-bake strawberry cheesecake is the kind of dessert that makes everyone at the table forget it is low in carbs. It is creamy, airy, full of fresh strawberry flavor, and made without turning on the oven.

That is a gift when the weather is warm or when you need a make-ahead dessert for a potluck, family gathering, or church event.

This sugar-free strawberry cheesecake has a simple almond flour crust, a fluffy cream cheese filling, and a fresh strawberry topping that keeps it bright and refreshing.

It is rich enough to feel special, but easy enough that you do not have to stress over a water bath, cracked tops, or oven timing.

Although this makes enough for a gathering, it can be halved easily, so don't let that stop you from enjoying this scrumptious keto strawberry cheesecake.

Ingredients Needed For this sugar-free Strawberry Cheesecake

Below are the main ingredients you'll need and a few key tips. Note that the full printable recipe card is at the end of the post.

For The Keto Almond Flour Crust

The crust is simple, buttery, and grain-free. It gives this no-bake cheesecake a sturdy base while keeping it gluten-free and low in carbs.

• Finely milled almond flour 
• Melted unsalted butter
• Granulated sugar substitute
•  Sea salt
• Cinnamon powder, optional

The cinnamon is optional, but it adds a little warmth to the crust that mimics the flavor of a graham cracker crust.

For The Keto Cheesecake Filling

The filling is what makes this dessert so creamy and airy. Be sure your cream cheese is fully softened before mixing so that the filling turns out smooth.

• Cream cheese, softened
• Granulated sugar substitute 
• Full-fat sour cream
• Heavy whipping cream

The sour cream helps give the filling that classic cheesecake tang, while the heavy cream helps make it light and fluffy.

For The Fresh Strawberry Topping

This easy strawberry topping keeps the cheesecake fresh and flavorful without needing a sugary sauce.

You'll need:

• Fresh strawberries, sliced
• Granulated sugar substitute
• Vanilla extract

Letting the strawberries sit for a few minutes with the sweetener and vanilla helps them release their natural juices and creates a simple fresh strawberry topping.

How To Make Keto No-Bake Strawberry Cheesecake

Making this keto no-bake cheesecake is simple, but the chilling time is important. Since this recipe is no-bake, the refrigerator does the work of helping the filling firm up enough to slice.

Start by making the almond flour crust. Combine the almond flour, sugar substitute, salt, and cinnamon if using. Then stir in the melted butter until the mixture looks like damp crumbs. Press the crust firmly into the bottom of a 9x13 pan.

Next, make the cheesecake filling. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sour cream, sugar substitute, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed so that everything blends evenly.

Slowly add the cold heavy whipping cream and continue beating until the filling becomes light, airy, and fully combined. This step gives the cheesecake its fluffy texture, so do not rush it.

Spread the cheesecake filling over the prepared almond flour crust and smooth the top.

For the strawberry topping, combine the sliced strawberries with the sugar substitute and vanilla extract. Let the strawberries sit for a few minutes, then spoon them over the cheesecake filling.

Cover the pan and refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 6 hours. For the cleanest slices, chilling it overnight is even better.

Tips For The Best No-Bake Keto Cheesecake

A no-bake cheesecake is easy to make, but a few simple tips will make a big difference in the final texture.

Use Softened Cream Cheese

Cold cream cheese can leave lumps in the filling. Let it soften fully before mixing so your cheesecake turns out smooth and creamy.

Use Cold Heavy Whipping Cream

Cold heavy cream helps the filling whip properly and gives this keto cheesecake a lighter texture.

Press The Crust Firmly

Because this is a no-bake almond flour crust, you want to press it firmly into the pan. This helps it hold together better when sliced.

Chill For At Least 6 Hours

This cheesecake needs time to set. Although it may look ready sooner, a minimum of 6 hours in the refrigerator will give you much better slices.

Make It The Day Before

This is a perfect make-ahead keto dessert. Making it the day before gives the filling time to firm up and allows the strawberry topping to settle into the cheesecake.

Best Sugar-Substitutes For Low-carb No-bake Strawberry Cheesecake

For this sugar-free strawberry cheesecake, I recommend using a granulated sugar substitute that measures cup-for-cup like sugar.

A monk fruit and erythritol blend works well because it gives the cheesecake sweetness without adding sugar. An allulose blend can also work, but keep in mind that different brands vary in sweetness.

If you use a stevia-based blend, check the package directions carefully because many are much sweeter than sugar and will need to be reduced.

Powdered sweetener can also be used in the filling if you want an even smoother texture but here again you will need to use half of what this recipe calls for since it is doubly sweet.

Lastly, if you can't easily find a more natural sugar substitute, you can also use Splenda with great success.

I know not everyone would agree with me here, and I respect that, but in my book, it's still better than regular sugar.

Can I Make This In An 8x8 Pan?

Yes, this recipe can be halved and made in an 8x8 pan. This is a great option if you do not need a large 9x13 dessert.

The smaller version is perfect for a family dinner, a small gathering, or when you want a low carb strawberry cheesecake without making a full pan.

Keep the chilling time the same so the cheesecake has enough time to set properly.

Can I Make This As Mini Keto Strawberry Cheesecakes?

Yes, you can make this recipe as mini keto strawberry cheesecakes by layering the almond flour crust, cheesecake filling, and strawberry topping in small jars, dessert cups, or ramekins.

This is a great option for parties because everyone gets their own individual serving.

Mini versions also work well if you want a pretty keto strawberry cheesecake cup for showers, brunches, or special gatherings.

Can I Make This Crustless?

Yes, you can make this as a crustless keto strawberry cheesecake if you want to reduce the carbs even further or skip the almond flour.

Simply spread the cheesecake filling into a 9x13 pan or individual cups, then add the fresh strawberry topping. Chill until firm.

A crustless version will be softer when served, so I prefer serving it in cups if skipping the crust.

Can I Use Frozen Strawberries?

Fresh strawberries work best for this recipe because they hold their shape and keep the topping from becoming too watery.

Frozen strawberries can release a lot of liquid as they thaw, which may make the topping too loose. If frozen strawberries are all you have, thaw them first, drain them very well, and use them more like a strawberry sauce rather than a fresh topping.

Make-Ahead And Storage Tips

This keto no-bake strawberry cheesecake is a great make-ahead dessert because it needs several hours to chill before serving.

Store the cheesecake covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For best results, keep it chilled until you are ready to slice and serve.

You can also freeze this cheesecake for up to 3 weeks. Freeze it well covered, then thaw it in the refrigerator before serving.

If making this for a gathering, I recommend preparing it the day before. This gives the cheesecake plenty of time to set and makes serving much easier.
