Low-Carb No Bake Cherry CheesecakePin itFollow us 148.4k

I have a slight obsession with cheesecake, especially the no-bake style. It's so fresh and creamy and it always reminds me of summer. Just like our Keto Cheesecake Bars, this treat doesn't involve any baking.

This low-carb no bake cherry cheesecake is perfect all year round because you won't need fresh cherries to make it. The deliciously sweet cherry sauce is flavoured with vanilla and cinnamon, and it can be done with fresh or frozen cherries.

For extra flavour I recommend using toasted rather than raw shredded coconut in the base. To do that, sprinkle the coconut in a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake the coconut at 175 °C/ 350 °F (fan assisted), or 195 °C/ 380 °F (conventional) for 5 minutes, mixing once or twice to prevent burning. Make sure it's cooled down before mixing with the remaining ingredients. You can find instructions on how to toast coconut in this Coconut Fat Bomb recipe.

Are Cherries Keto?

This recipe uses cherries which are not typically "keto" but they can still be part of a healthy low-carb diet as long as you keep the serving size small — just like in this recipe where you only use a tablespoon of the sauce per serving!

Apart from cherries you can use any fresh or frozen berries such as raspberries, blackberries, blueberries or strawberries with some extra low-carb sweetener. To do that, you need to mash them with a fork and heat up just like the cherry sauce before adding the gelatin.

If you like cherries, there's plenty of low-carb recipes to get inspired!

Allergy Friendly Swaps

The collagen powder is only used for extra nutritional benefits so if you want to skip it, use a bit more almond flour instead. It can also be replaced with equal amounts of protein powder or egg white protein powder. Just make sure to get "isolate" and not "concentrate". A keto-friendly protein powder should have no more than 5 grams of net carbs per 100 grams.

If you want to make this chilled keto dessert nut-free, simply replace the almond flour with ground sunflower seeds or an equal amount (in grams/ounces) of coconut butter (aka coconut manna).

To make this low-carb cheesecake dessert dairy-free, substitute the butter with virgin coconut oil and use coconut cream instead of heavy cream. The cream cheese can either be replaced with more coconut cream or thick coconut yogurt (vanilla or plain with no sweeteners).

The gelatin in the cheesecake layer is essential as it helps the cheesecake set once you add the runny cherry sauce. If you want to make a vegetarian keto version of this dessert, you could swap agar agar for the gelatin. To do that, use 1 tablespoon of agar flakes or 1 teaspoon agar powder for every teaspoon of gelatin.

I changed the way I ate in 2011, when I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s, an autoimmune disease that affects the thyroid. I had no energy, and I found it more and more difficult to maintain a healthy weight.

That’s when I decided to quit sugar, grains, and processed foods, and to start following a whole-foods-based ketogenic approach to food.

Yes, in the base you can use any protein powder isolate options - like whey, egg white or pea 😊
