An easy keto strawberry cheesecake with ripe strawberry slices decorating the edge of the creamy vanilla cheesecake. When sliced, you will find more strawberries in the middle for a tasty summer low carb dessert.
The coconut flour cheesecake crust means that this keto strawberry cheesecake is nut free. It's like a giant cream cheese cookie and pairs well with the creamy cheesecake and strawberries. It's almost a giant strawberry shortcake dessert in cheesecake form!
How to make a keto strawberry cheesecake
The crust is a delicious low carb crust made with cream cheese but as firm as a biscuit base. Made with the same ingredients that you would make a coconut flour cream cheese cookie.
The base dough will be too sticky to roll and needs to be pressed down into the springform cake tin.
For the sweetener, monkfruit is used but any other low carb sweetener can be used.
The pretty strawberry edge is fun to make. Make sure your strawberries are ripe and firm. Whole strawberries are placed in the tin before filling for more strawberries in a slice
Recipe Tips
For the topping I've used fresh strawberries but whippped cream could be piped or slathered on top too.
Try a sugar free strawberry coulis or sauce to serve with the cheesecake.
For a complete no bake cheesecake, replace the base with an almond flour and butter base that can be chilled before topping with strawberries and cheesecake.
