How To Make Keto No-Bake Strawberry Cheesecake (Quick Overview)
This is just a quick overview of some of the steps involved in making the low carb no-bake cheesecake. For the recipe in detail, including exact measurements used at each step, scroll to the recipe card at the end of the post.
This recipe has a few steps to follow, but they’re all super easy. Let’s get started! 🍓
First, The Crust!
You’ll make the crust with almond meal (or flour), Swerve Brown, and melted butter and press it firmly into a 9″ pie crust.
After the crust is made, place it in the fridge to chill for an hour.
Next, The Glaze
I highly recommend using a store-bought sugar-free glaze for convenience and flavor (I typically buy it at Walmart or at a local grocery store), but if you’d prefer to make it, you can make it now and set it aside to cool.
Then The Filling
Start by whipping heavy cream on high speed with a hand or stand mixer until those stiff peaks form (about 2-4 minutes). Once whipped, place it in the fridge to chill.
In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar on medium speed until silky smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Add in lemon juice, vanilla extract, and sour cream, and mix until combined. Keep it smooth and creamy.
Next, gently fold the chilled whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula. Go easy here, overmixing can deflate all that fluffy goodness!
Remove your crust from the fridge and pour the filling on top.
Now comes the fun part: adding the strawberry glaze! 🍓 You could:
- Swirl it into the top half of the filling (this is what I’ve done for the photos in this post)
- Mix it into all of the filling for even more strawberry flavor
- Spread it over the top as a finishing touch
You can even throw in some chopped strawberries if you’d like.
Cover your cheesecake and let it chill in the fridge for at least 8-12 hours. If you can wait a little longer (14 hours is ideal), it’ll be even better. Trust me, good things take time!
Final Assembly Time!
When you’re ready to serve, take the cheesecake out of the fridge and slice it up. For clean cuts, heat a jar of water, dip your knife in it, and wipe it off before each slice.
Serve it just as it is, or top it with fresh strawberries and a dollop of Homemade Whipped Cream. Whatever you choose, enjoy every bite of your sweet, creamy, no-bake masterpiece!
No matter how you enjoy your cheesecake, trust me when I say you won’t be able to stop eating it until your plate is wiped clean! It tastes incredible.

Instructions
Crust Instructions
- Combine almond meal (or flour) and Swerve Brown in a bowl, then add melted butter and combine thoroughly.
- Press the crust very tightly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9” pie dish. Use a measuring cup or the back of a spoon to pack the crust firmly.
- Chill for one hour in the fridge.
Strawberry Glaze Instructions
- If you’re using store-bought, move on to the Filling Instructions.
- If you’re using homemade, add 1 cup finely chopped strawberries, water, Swerve Confectioners, almond flour, and vanilla extract to a small stovetop pan. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 10 minutes.
- Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool. Stir in remaining 1/2 cup finely chopped strawberries, as well as red food dye if you would like the color to be more vibrant. Set aside and move on to the Filling Instructions.
Filling Instructions
- Add heavy whipping cream to a mixing bowl and beat with a hand or stand mixer on high speed, scraping down the sides as needed, until the cream forms stiff peaks (approx. 2-4 minutes). Once done, refrigerate it.
- In another mixing bowl, blend cream cheese and Swerve Confectioners on medium speed, scraping down the sides as necessary, until the mixture is smooth.
- Add lemon juice, vanilla extract, and sour cream, and mix on medium speed until smooth, remembering to scrape down the sides when needed.
- Take the chilled heavy whipping cream from the refrigerator and gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture using a silicone spatula. Avoid overmixing to prevent the whipped cream from deflating.
- Remove the crust from the fridge and pour the filling onto it. At this point, you can choose to evenly spread out the filling and: 1) Stir the Strawberry Glaze into the top half of the filling (this is the method pictured); 2) Stir the Strawberry Glaze into all of the filling; or 3) Spread the Strawberry Glaze on top of the filling. Optionally, you can also stir chopped strawberries into the filling.
- Cover the cheesecake and refrigerate for a minimum of 8-12 hours, or longer if possible (I typically aim for 14 hours).
Serving Instructions
- Take the cheesecake out of the fridge and slice using a knife. For neater cuts, heat a jar of water in the microwave, dip the knife in the water, and wipe it off before each cut. The warmed knife will result in cleaner slices.
- Serve plain or topped with strawberries and or Keto Whipped Cream.
- Keep covered in the refrigerator for a maximum of five days.
