How To Make Low Carb Cheesecake with Raspberry Jam
- Preheat oven and line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper. Spray the inside of the pan with nonstick cooking spray. Tightly wrap the outside bottom and sides of the springform pan with two to three layers of aluminium foil.
- Place almond flour, sugar substitute, and butter into a food processor and pulse until combined.
- Transfer the crumbs into the prepared pan. Press them down with a flat-bottomed glass, and along the sides on the pan. Bake for 10-12 mins, then remove pan to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl using an electric mixer, beat cream cheese for 2-3 mins until smooth, working out all the lumps. Add the sugar substitute and blend for another 2 mins. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- Mix in the eggs, one at a time, until incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl after each addition. The mixture should be smooth and creamy. Add in the zest and vanilla and mix until just incorporated.
- Pour the filling into the cooled crust. Place pan into a roasting pan and place it in the oven. Pour boiling water into the larger pan until halfway up the sides of the springform pan.
- Bake 50 -60 mins, until the edges will appear to be set, but the center slightly jiggles. Turn off the oven and crack the oven door open with a wooden spoon. Allow the cheesecake to cool in the oven for 2 hrs then remove it from the water bath and place on a cooling rack.
- Once the cake is completely cooled, refrigerate for at least 8 hrs, up to overnight.
- To make the jam combine raspberries, water, sugar substitute, and xanthan gum in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil the mixture for 1 min, then remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Let cool, then chill for at least 1 hr.
Tips for Making Keto Cheesecake
- You can store leftover cheesecake in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- If using a powdered sugar substitute, increase the amount to 1½ cups.
- Feel free to make the jam with any kind of berry, or omit it completely.
- Top each slice with a sugar substitute-sweetened whipped cream if desired.
Using Almond Flour to Make Low Carb Cheesecake Crust
Using almond flour to make this Low Carb Cheesecake crust is tasty and so easy. I just loooooove the delightfully crunchy, nutty and buttery flavour. And truth be told, I actually prefer it to the typical, less healthy graham cracker cheesecake crust.

Thank you, Terez ๐ Glad you like it.cheap essay
I absolutely love the flavor combination of cheesecake and raspberries. I’m sure this is fabulous.
I am so sold on this healthier version of my favourite dessert! Means I can have second helpings!
This cheesecake looks like the perfect treat for any occasion! ๐
Funny how elegant and beautiful this dessert is yet it’s so easy to make. I won’t be doing it as a keto recipe so I’m curious how much and what type of regular sugar you’d use. Would turbinado sugar be too coarse?
Cheesecake is my absolute favourite so this is on my list. I love the idea of using the almond flour too!
This is so beautiful!! I love that it’s healthier too, with Christmas around the corner I need to be looking at lighter desserts so I don’t overindulge!
