Tips For Making The Perfect Keto Cheesecake

Use Room Temperature Ingredients

Almost every cheesecake recipe calls for “room temperature” cream cheese – but I recommend using only room temperature ingredients, so they blend beautifully together and deliver a smooth and creamy cheesecake filling.

If you forgot to soften cream cheese here’s what you can do: Add your cream cheese bricks in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 20-30—second until softened, but not hot.

Use full-fat cream cheese (around 33% fat) and sour cream. Philadelphia is the best cream cheese for cheesecake

Take It Easy On The Eggs

Avoid overbeating the egg because it can ruin your cheesecake.

Overmixing can cause cracks due to too much air incorporated into the mixture. Stop mixing from time to time to scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl to make sure there are no lumps.

Don’t Open The Oven!

Try not to open the oven door during baking the cheesecake. It can cause cracks.

Avoid Over-Baking The Keto Cheesecake

How do I know if the Keto Cheesecake is cooked? Well, the middle should be set but “jiggly” and have a pale color. I bake it for about 50-60 minutes at a very low temperature. Overbaking is another cause of cracking which we are trying to avoid.

Cool It Correctly

It’s extremely important to cool the cheesecake at room temperature before moving to the fridge. This can take between an hour or two. The extreme temperature change can make cracks in the cheesecake,

How To Store Low Carb Keto Cheesecake?

Always store the keto cheesecake in the fridge for up to one week.

Can I Freeze the Keto Cheesecake?

This keto cheesecake is freezer friendly because it is made using full-fat cream cheese. Wrap it tightly with plastic wrap and keep it in the freezer for 2-3 months.

When you are ready to serve, let it thaw in the fridge overnight, and consume within 2 days. I prefer freezing individual slices.
