This easy no-bake cheesecake is the BEST! It's one of my favorite spring desserts made with simple ingredients. Refreshing and lightly sweet, plus sugar-free, gluten-free, and keto-friendly with 10g protein per serving!

Ingredients

Graham Cracker Crust

2 cups almond flour (224 grams)
8 tablespoon butter melted (125 grams)
2 tablespoon sugar-free granulated sweetener
½ teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt

Cheesecake

16 oz cream cheese very soft
4 oz ½ cup sour cream, full-fat
½ cup vanilla protein powder (40 grams)
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 tablespoon sugar-free powdered sweetener optional, adjust to taste
½ cup heavy whipping cream very cold

Instructions

Make the crust: Toast almond flour in a dry pan for 3 mins until fragrant. Optional, but recommended. Mix all ingredients until they look like wet sand. Press firmly into a parchment-lined or greased 9-inch springform pan. Use a flat-bottomed cup to pack it tight. Place in the freezer while you make the filling to lock in the butter.
Make the filling: Whip the cold heavy cream to stiff peaks. Set aside.
Beat softened cream cheese, sour cream, Keto Chow, vanilla, lemon juice, and sweetener until silky smooth. Scrape the sides to ensure no lumps.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese base using a spatula. Careful not to overmix - you want to keep that air.
Spread filling over the frozen crust and smooth the top with an offset spatula.
Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 6–8 hours (overnight is best).
Serve: Dip a knife in hot water and wipe dry between each slice.

Notes

Nutrition and carbs – Some nutrition labels omit sugar alcohols or allulose from the nutrition calculation since it does not affect blood sugar. For transparency, I have included all carbs and calculated the net carbs below. Always use a food logging app like Cronometer according to the brands you use in order to get accurate nutrition information.
