As I’ve said often on here, I’m not a big fan of sweets. I like sweets, however if I were to choose, I’d go for savory any day. However tonight, I needed something sweet and decided to completely wing it and try to make a single (well, actually two) serving low carb cheesecake. And for real, I am pretty sure this is my best creation yet and it was completely on the fly! I did read up on about a dozen different options and came up with my own recipe that turned out better than I could ever imagine. Even my sons loved it and couldn’t tell it had an alternative sweetener or non-graham cracker crust.
While my keto cheesecake bites which are more like fat bombs, this low carb cheesecake recipe is more of a dessert and so good! This recipe is one of my first from when I started keto nearly six years ago so I’ve learned a few tricks. First, with baking, my preferred keto sweetener is Swerve or Allulose. And instead of baking, you can also make this in the microwave. Microwave on 50% power for 4 minutes, checking every minute. The cheesecake will be done when it starts to pull away from the sides of the ramekins.
Seriously the Best Low Carb Cheesecake Recipe Ever
Ingredients
Crust
- 2 tbsp almond flour
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp brown sugar substitute I like Swerve
Cheesecake Filling
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp lemon juice optional
- pinch salt
- 2 tbsp sweetener I prefer Swerve or Allulose
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F
- Melt butter and mix with almond flour and sweetener. Divide and press into bottom of 2 ramekins.
- Put cream cheese in a medium bowl and beat it with hand mixer until creamy. Add vanilla extract, lemon, egg and sweetener. Beat until combined.
- Divide filling among the two ramekins – they should be fairly full.
- Bake at 350F for about 15 minutes or microwave at 50% power for 4 minutes. If using the microwave, check every minute. The cheesecake will be done when it starts to pull away from the sides of the ramekins.
- Place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
