How to Make Keto No-Bake Cheesecake
To Make the Gluten Free Cheesecake Crust

Pour in the melted butter and vanilla, and continue mixing until it resembles the texture of wet sand.
To Make the Cheesecake Filling
Add the cream cheese to a large mixing bowl and whip using a hand mixer for 1-2 minutes. Add in the sour cream and continue mixing.
Add in the Key lime curd, vanilla and Allulose and mix until combined.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks, then mix it into the cheesecake filling mixture. Continue mixing until everything is well combined.
To Assemble the Cheesecake Cups
Add some of the crust mixture to the bottom of a small jar or mini canning jar and press down to form a crust.
Add some of the Key lime cheesecake filling over the top.
Then chill in the fridge at least 1 hour before serving with a garnish of lime zest and/or whip cream on top.

Tips for the Best No Bake Cheesecake
No-bake Key lime cheesecake is one of the easiest desserts you can make, but here are a few tips to ensure it turns out perfect every time:
Why is my no-bake cheesecake not firm?
The key to getting no-bake cheesecake filling to set up firmly is to allow it to completely chill in the fridge. The flavors in this Key lime cheesecake is so amazing, it’s tempting to rush this process, but trust me, it’s really worth it.
Can I Freeze Key lime no bake cheesecake?
If after several hours your no bake cheesecake hasn’t firmed up, stick them in the freezer for about an hour. Though it will have a creamy but frozen texture, the flavors will still be perfect.
Should I cover cheesecake cups in the fridge?
This is a must! When you are storing Keto cheesecake, wrap the containers as tightly as possible before putting in the fridge to keep the flavors fresh!
Can I substitute the almond flour in the gluten-free cheesecake crust?
Almond flour makes one of the best textures for no-bake cheesecake. But if you’d like to try another type of gluten free flour, pecan flour would be the closest in texture and taste.
Wholesome Yum’s Besti Powdered Allulose is my absolute favorite allulose to use! It has perfect texture and far exceeds anything else I’ve ever tried. Use code: KCC10 to save 10%.
