Chocolate. Cheesecake. Chocolate cheesecake... (sigh...)

Is there anything more perfect in this world that rich and silky cheesecake combined with decadent dark chocolate? I think not.

This is a good low-carb dessert to serve a group of friends (or keep all to yourself) as it can easily be made in advance and stored in the fridge until required.

You'll only need to bake the grain-free chocolate crust, let it cool down, and then brush it with a thin layer of melted extra dark chocolate which will insulate the cheese layer and keep the crust crunchy.

The dark chocolate cheesecake filling doesn't need to be baked — you'll only need to let it set in the fridge for a couple of hours. When ready to be served, drizzle some more melted dark chocolate on top, add dark chocolate shavings or some whipped cream. Done — the perfect festive treat to impress your family with this holiday season!

Be warned, you only need a small slice of this keto cheesecake as it is very rich. Enjoy!

Tips & Substitutions

If you need to make this low-carb dessert nut-free, simply swap the almond flour with ground sunflower seeds.

Because this is a no-bake keto cheesecake (only the crust is baked), you can even swap the cream cheese for coconut cream and the whipping cream for coconut milk. Instead of butter you could use palm shortening. (Oil palm production has a devastating impact on a huge number of plant and animal species in, especially in South East Asia — make sure you use products from sustainable agriculture.)

You can use raw cacao powder or Dutch process cocoa powder — just make sure there is no sugar it.

We used 90% dark chocolate but any dark chocolate with at least 85% cacao is a good low-carb option. Although there is a small amount of sugar, the carb count is low and it's one of the ingredients that can be used in moderation when you follow a healthy low-carb diet. You can also use sugar-free chocolate sweetened with stevia or inulin.
