I have always had a sweet tooth, and although I haven’t struggled with keto as much as I thought I would, I do still crave something sweet at times (particularly at night-time). This no-bake cheesecake was one of my favourite desserts before keto and I was (literally!) thrilled to find out that the keto-friendly version below was virtually as good.

The keto-friendly version has only a few differences from the original version – it doesn’t have a base, it uses sweetener rather than sugar, and the jelly is a sugar-free one. It is incredibly simple to make, and I haven’t yet found a keto dessert that I like more.

Ingredients:

250 g (8.8 oz) of cream cheese

1 packet of Weight Watchers (or other sugar-free) strawberry jelly

300 ml (10 fluid oz) of cream

6 drops of liquid sweetener (I used EZ-Sweetz )

Recipe:

Whip the cream. Soften the cream cheese, and beat this together with the sweetener. Dissolve the jelly in 1 cup (8.5 fluid oz) of boiling water, and let this cool for 15 minutes. Combine the cream cheese mix with the jelly using an electric beater or blender, and fold in the whipped cream at the end.

Pour the mixture into a greased dish (I used one that was 28 cm x 18 cm, or 11 in x 7 in).

Put the dish in the fridge to set for at least a couple of hours. Once set, cut into individual slices (I cut mine into 8). I hope you like it as much as I do!
