How to Make Keto Lemon Cheesecake Jars

Measurements and nutritional information is located below in the recipe card.

Ingredients

Keto Lemon Cookie Crumb

coconut flour

butter

Allulose, granular or lemon stevia

lemon zest

pinch of salt

Keto Lemon Cheesecake

cream cheese, room temperature

fresh lemon juice

lemon zest

lemon stevia or see notes below

heavy cream

Instructions

Mix together cookie crumb ingredients in a small bowl until crumbs form. Save 1 tablespoon for topping cheesecake. Sprinkle remaining crumbs into the bottom each of the 4 serving glasses or small mason jars.

Place all ingredients for lemon cheesecake into a stand mixer, food processor or use a large mixing bowl and hand mixer, electric mixer on medium speed to whip until smooth.

Taste and adjust to determine sweetness level if you need more low carb sweetener.

Spoon or use a piping bag to swirl cheesecake into each serving glass and top with remaining cookie crumb.

Optional for topping, add grated lemon zest and/or fresh berries (fresh blueberries, strawberries, raspberries or blackberries)

Storage; Cover each mason jar or serving glass with plastic wrap or airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Can I swap the low-carb sugar substitute used?

If you can't purchase Allulose where you live, which is a sugar free natural sweetener, feel free to swap with Monk Fruit or another sugar free sweetener of choice.

As always, just add a small amount of sweetener then taste and adjust. You can always add more, but it's very difficult to take away if too much sweetener has been added.

You can certainly swap out the sweeteners I used with whatever sweetener you prefer. I like to combine two different sweeteners in my recipes because they balance each other out well and usually help with reducing any aftertaste.

Feel free to use at least ½ cup of sweetener of choice if you like just a small amount of sweetness for your desserts. Use up to a full cup if you want to have a sweeter cheesecake.

The most important thing is to always taste your batter to determine if the mixture is sweet enough for you.

Here is my Sweetener Guide & Conversion Chart to help you decide on how much to use of other sweeteners. I include regular sugar in the chart so you can compare and understand the sweetness level of the different ingredients.

Finding a sugar replacement is really a personal preference and you may need to try a few different keto-friendly sweeteners before deciding on the one you want to use most often in dessert recipes.

I do not recommend using a granulated sweetener in the cheesecake filling as your sugar-free cheesecake will be grainy and not have a smooth velvety texture.

Traditional Cheesecake versus No Bake Cheesecake

Making a delicious creamy cheesecake that is sugar free, low carb and doesn't require any baking, but tastes like the real thing, is the beauty of making being sugar free a sustainable way of life.

A traditional oven-baked cheesecake usually requires eggs and at least an hour of baking in a water bath, but a no bake cheesecake has no eggs and no baking needed, making it simple and easy to come together, but still just as delicious.

Can I change the lemon flavor to something else?

Yes if you aren't a fan of lemon, feel free to use lime juice and lime zest in place of the lemon used.

You could also swap the lemon with a teaspoon vanilla extract.

Can I swap the coconut flour with almond flour?

No, coconut flour is a very dense keto flour and the two can not be equally swapped in recipes. I promise you will not taste a coconut taste. The lemon flavor is the star.

Can this be made in a small pie dish instead?

If you don't want to make 4 individual servings, I would recommend using a small 6 inch springform pan and placing half the crust mixture in the bottom of the pan and save the rest to sprinkle over the cheesecake filling.

Can I skip the cookie crumb?

Sure, you can skip it but please note the nutrition info below includes both the cookie crumb and cheesecake filling.

What Keto Toppings can I add to these jars?

You can just add the lemon cookie crumb as I have in these photos but if you want to jazz this keto dessert up a bit for company, feel free to add any of the following keto toppings.

Sugar Free Whipped Cream

Keto Blueberry Syrup

Keto Raspberry Chia Jam
