Keto Tiramisu Cheesecake
Like most recipes that I create to be low-carb and keto-friendly, this easy, no-bake treat started with a craving.
I had wanted tiramisu, but with the temperatures here in Florida, I didn’t want to use the oven unless I had to.
I was unwilling to give up on my craving for tiramisu, so I decided a keto no-bake cheesecake would be the perfect option!
Having created a traditional keto tiramisu, I knew the main components that make one of Italy’s finest desserts so special.
The layers of espresso and rum-soaked biscuits and creamy mascarpone are dusted with a generous amount of cocoa powder. These are the elements that genuinely give the experience that is tiramisu.
These key flavors, espresso, rum, and cocoa powder, are what I used to create this low-carb tiramisu cheesecake.
I learned when making my traditional tiramisu that mascarpone can be substituted by a combination of cream cheese and sour cream (or sometimes even cream cheese and heavy cream).
I knew that a cheesecake base would be perfect for tiramisu flavors!
Honestly, I don’t know why tiramisu cheesecakes aren’t more widely famous because, honestly, it’s a perfectly delicious match that just makes sense!
How To Make Keto-Friendly No-Bake Tiramisu Cheesecake

What makes this recipe so special is how easy it is. It’s a matter of mixing a few ingredients together and layering them up. That’s all!
No need to bake the ladyfingers that are traditionally used, wait for layers to cool, or even wait hours for your cheesecake to chill.
These individual keto cheesecakes are ready to eat after chilling in the refrigerator for as little as 15 minutes! You read that right! You can have cheesecake in 15 minutes!
However, if you opt to make this recipe in a 9-inch pie dish (I’ve given instructions for both), it will have to chill for 8 hours.
To make the espresso-soaked “cookie” crust layer, you’ll be combining almond flour, sugar substitute, melted butter, espresso, and rum. You can also use a rum extract if you prefer to keep it alcohol-free and kid-friendly.
The mascarpone-esque cheesecake layer combines cream cheese, sour cream, sugar substitute, vanilla, cold heavy cream, and a little more rum.
Once both components are made, it’s a matter of layering them in the glass jars. Starting with the “cookie” crust and ending with the cheesecake and a generous dusting of cocoa powder. It’s that quick and simple!
Best Sugar-Substitutes For Tiramisu Cheesecake (Keto)
I have several options when it comes to which sweetener you can use in this sugar-free recipe. No denying I am partial to Lakanto Monk Fruit.
Lakanto Monk Fruit is my favorite because the texture and flavor are the closest to real sugar I’ve found, and the flavor fools your taste buds like nothing else on the market.
Having said that, I’m also a fan of the brand Swerve, which is an erythritol blend. Similar to Lakanto, it uses sugar alcohols and has a 0% impact on blood sugar.
You could also use the stevia and erythritol-based brand Pyure if you prefer to use a stevia-based sweetener.
Personally, I don’t like using stevia because I am sensitive to the aftertaste.
But if that’s not the case for you, you could certainly use it in this recipe. However, if you do, be sure to reduce the amount called for in the recipe by half since it’s a much sweeter option.
Lastly, if you can’t easily find a more natural sugar substitute, you can also use Splenda with 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.

What You’ll Need
In order to make this no-bake keto tiramisu cheesecake, you will need a few items. Thankfully, these materials are also pretty standard kitchen tools.
Perhaps the only thing you may not have from this list is the 4 oz jars, but no worries because you can make this in a standard pie dish as well.
- Almond Flour
- Cream cheese
- Espresso or dark roast coffee
- Dark rum or rum extract
- Sugar-substitute: I use Lakanto Monk Fruit
- 4 oz glass jars or 9-inch pie dish
- Electric mixer, stand-up or handheld
- Spatula
- Mixing bowl
Quality Coffee
While I have your attention, can we talk about quality coffee? You see, excellent tiramisu deserves great coffee. Does it make a difference what coffee Hilda uses?
Well, I sure think so. Just like high-quality spices have an impact on a recipe, the coffee you use in a dessert like tiramisu matters.
Since this is a no-bake keto recipe, it begs for excellent coffee. With that in mind, Randy and I have family in Guatemala that have their own boutique specialty coffee company.
Their prices are fantastic, as is David and Alejandra’s fabulous customer service.
We can’t get enough of Dalecafe, and it’s the only coffee we drink at home. I didn’t want to pass up the opportunity to share it with you because it’s that good.
They have a variety of coffee, from mild to intense, and come in freshly ground bags or whole beans. I prefer grinding my coffee beans because I’m spoiled like that, but feel free to choose your preference.
They even donate to Missions Ministry when you purchase a four-bag sampler. It’s a lovely ministry that is doing invaluable work in Guatemala.
I hope you will consider supporting a small family-owned business that is making a difference and enjoy a great cup of Joe!

You can also make this no-bake keto cheesecake in a 9-inch pie pan. To do so simply press the almond four crust into the pie pan and then add the cheesecake filling.
If you opt to make this in a pie pan you will need to refrigerate the cheesecake for a minimum of 6-8 hours. So that it slices easily. Otherwise the filling will not slice properly.
