Keto Cranberry Cheesecake

First of all…PLEASE DO NOT be intimidated by how professional this Cranberry Cheesecake looks.

Simply pair the recipe for my keto cranberry sauce with the recipe for my classic Low Carb Cheesecake for this fancy-pancy holiday cheesecake.

Just to be clear…this is TWO recipes…

Same Keto Ingredients

These are simple keto friendly ingredients like almond flour, Lakanto Monkfruit Sweetener (blend of monkfruit and erythritol) and cream cheese. Then make the Keto Cranberry Sauce separately.

If you follow the steps listed in the recipes below this is almost fail proof dessert.

And…it’s a SHOW STOPPER!!

Keto Holiday Dessert

The Cheesecake Factory-Oy!

The Cheesecake Factory restaurant always amazes me. Every thing is jumbo sized. Even the HUGE cases filled with every imaginable flavor of cheesecake are overflowing. It’s impressive, but I’m a simple gal…..except for this Keto Cranberry Cheesecake.

Cheesecake Factory is over the top!

A single slice of Cheesecake Factory “Original Cheesecake” has 63g total carbs (62g net carbs) PER SLICE. Holy blood sugar spike!!! That sounds like a sugar bomb on a plate that needs to be avoided.

Here’s the full nutritional breakdown from that sugar factory.

Think you might get sick from a slice of dessert covered in candy bars, cookies, whipped cream, and chocolate sauce? Who does this and why do people think this is ok?

The winner for the highest carb count for a Cheesecake Factory slice is the “Oreo Dream Extreme Cheesecake” coming in at 177g carbs per slice (170g net carbs PER SLICE).

Why is that necessary?

Simple, delicious & low carb

When the holidays roll around I get a little more fancy with a slice of this Keto Cranberry Cheesecake. It fits the bill for me.

During the rest of the year I normally I add some berries or a drizzle of salted caramel, but keto cranberry drizzled on top makes this festive during the holidays.

It’s low carb per slice so it won’t spike your blood sugar.Your liver and your waistline will thank you!

Keto Holiday Dessert

Keto Crutch

As you guys know, we don’t do sugar on Keto. The key for me is to stay away from sweets most of the time, but I have these keto desserts, which are my crutch. I’m usually satisfied and full with my fat-filled meals that I can’t eat another bite.

However, there are those times (holiday, celebration and that monthly need for some chocolate) that I just want a little something.

You know those times, right? You don’t want to cave, but you also want a little something sweet. A slice of Keto Cranberry Cheesecake will hit the spot after your holiday meal.

Keto Holiday Dessert

My “Keto Crutch” is a dessert that’s low carb, but I don’t eat them every day. I can have a small piece of Lily’s Stevia sweetened chocolate or even one of my Keto Strawberry Cheesecake cups and satisfy the urge without blowing it.

Low Carb Cheesecake

Easily one of the most well known Keto desserts is a rich and Low Carb Cheesecake. A simple cheesecake is lovely, but top it with berries or my Keto Salted Caramel for a real treat.

Ingredients

Crust

Cheesecake Filling

  • 40 oz cream cheese (5-8oz blocks) must be room temperature
  • 1 cup low carb sweetener POWDERED
  • 5 large eggs must be room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350*. Prepare 9” springform pan with oil spray or line the bottom of the pan with a round piece of parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a medium clean bowl mix together the almond flour, melted butter, low carb sweetener, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. The crust mixture will be slightly crumbly. Press the dough into the bottom and slightly up the sides of the prepared pan. I like to go about ½”-1” up the side of the pan. Chill for at least 10 minutes.
  • Using a hand mixer (or stand mixer on medium speed whip together the room temperature cream cheese and powdered sweetener together at medium speed until fluffy. Mix in the room temperature eggs one at a time until fully incorporated. The last step is to add in the sour cream and vanilla extract.
  • Pour the cheesecake filling over your chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake cheesecake in 350* oven for about 45-55 minutes. Check your cheesecake at about 40 minutes to see if the center is almost set, but still jiggly. Bake the cheesecake up to 10 more minutes if you feel the center is still a bit wet.
  • When you notice the cheesecake is set on the outer edge and still has a little movement in the center turn off the oven. Leave the cheesecake in the oven with the oven turned off and the door slightly ajar for another 30-60 minutes.
  • Remove the cheesecake from the oven and set on the counter to cool completely. Run a knife around the edge while the cheesecake is still warm. DO NOT yet remove the outer ring. Cool in the cheesecake to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight), until completely set.
  • Serve with fresh whipped cream, Keto Salted Caramel Sauce or a fresh berries if desired.

Notes

*Please note that a cracked top does not mean you have done anything wrong. Much of a cracked top has to do with the temperature of your ingredients, how much you whip you batter and the temperature change in the oven. Regardless if your top is smooth or cracked, there is no difference in taste.
*Please note that this cheesecake is rich and decadent so you do not need to serve large pieces. I like to slice this cheesecake into 14 pieces, which make this a great dessert for a party.
**Also note that this cheesecake freezes so beautifully. You can freeze individual pieces or freeze the whole cheesecake, then thaw and serve.
