Ingredients Needed

You will need a few simple ingredients to create this delicious coconut dessert. Here is a list of everything you will need:

For The Crust

This recipe uses almond flour to make a delicious keto crust for this sugar-free cheesecake.

• Almond Flour – use super fine almond flour to avoid creating any clumps. If you can’t find superfine almond flour, use a food processor to blend it into a fine powder. For the almond flour, you could use another type of nut meal, such as hazelnut, pecan or walnut instead.
• Butter –  you will need unsalted butter. Used to bind all the ingredients for the crust together.
• Sweetener – use your favorite sweetener; just ensure it’s powdered since it combines well.
• Cinnamon – it’s an optional ingredient. 

For The Filling

• Cream Cheese – you will need full-fat softened cream cheese to mix well.
• Sweetener – feel free to use any powdered sweetener to ensure good mixing.
• Coconut Cream – use the best full-fat canned coconut cream for an extra delicious flavor.
• Eggs – use large room-temperature eggs to avoid any eggy flavor. It helps the cream bind.
• Vanilla Extract – you can replace it with the same amount of coconut extract.

For The Coconut Cream Frosting

• Coconut Cream – helps the frosting to be creamier and tastier.
• Sweetener – adds sweetness to the frosting. Make sure that you are using powdered sweeteners to combine well.
• Cream Cheese – you will need softened cream cheese to get that creamy texture.

How To Make This Keto Coconut Cream Cheesecake

Follow the next steps if you want to enjoy the most delicious coconut cheesecake you have ever tried. Although it might initially seem complicated, you will see that it’s super easy to make. Here is everything you need to do:

Making the Almond Flour Crust

Despite what you might think, making a delicious, low-carb cheesecake is surprisingly easy!

Add the almond flour, sweetener, cinnamon, and melted butter to a large mixing bowl and mix until well combined.

Next, press the dough into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish and store it in the fridge while making the filling.

Preheat the oven to 325°F / 160°C. Adjust the rack to the middle of the oven. Bake for about 10 minutes or until slightly crispy on the edges.

Preparing the Coconut Filling

With our crust in the oven, it’s time to move on to making the filling.

Add the softened cream cheese and sweetener to a mixing bowl and use an electric mixer to mix until smooth and creamy.

Beat everything together until fully combined, then pour the mixture into your prepared pan over top of the cooled crust.

Baking The Cheesecake

Now that we have our cake all ready to go, let’s get baking!

Transfer the cheesecake to the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes or until golden brown on the edges.

Remove from the oven and cool at room temperature for about one hour.

Preparing the Frosting

Beat the coconut cream, softened cream cheese, and sweetener for about 3 minutes until creamy.

Spread the frosting over the cooled cheesecake using a silicone spatula and top with shredded coconut.

Refrigerate for about one hour before slicing it, and enjoy.

Tips For Making The Best Keto Coconut Cream Cheesecake

• Use high-quality ingredients. It’s important to use ingredients of the highest quality to make the best cheesecake you have ever tried.
• Room-temperature ingredients. Bring all the ingredients to room temperature to ensure a good mixing and the best texture.
• Don’t overmix the cheesecake filling. This may add too much air and cause the cheesecake to crack while baking.
• Sift the ingredients. I recommended sifting the almond flour and sweetener before adding them to avoid lumping.
• Press the crust firmly into the pan. This will prevent the crust from crumbling and falling apart.
• Let the cheesecake cool down before slicing. This ensures the cheesecake holds its shape when sliced.
• Use parchment paper. Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper to remove the cheesecake easier.

Topping Ideas For This Keto Coconut Cream Cheesecake

Now that you know all about baking the perfect keto coconut cream cheesecake, let’s talk about toppings! There are plenty of delicious options to choose from

• Homemade Caramel Sauce
• Fresh Berries and Cream – For a classic option, whipped cream and fresh berries always hit the spot.
• Raspberry Jam
• Chocolate Sauce

Variations

• Chocolate – Add 1-2 tablespoons of cocoa powder and melted chocolate chips for a rich and decadent chocolate version. You can also sprinkle on some dark chocolate shavings as an added topping!
• Peanut Butter – Replace half of the butter with peanut butter for extra nutty notes. If you want it sweeter, then add in some sugar-free caramel sauce too.
• Berries – Top your finished cake off with fresh berries like raspberries or blueberries for an antioxidant boost. This will help balance out the sweetness while adding color and texture.

Storing Ideas

• Fridge: cover this keto coconut cream cheesecake leftovers with plastic wrap and store them in the fridge for up to 7 days.
• Freezer: If you want to freeze it, I recommend freezing the crust and filing separately. Then thaw and assemble the cheesecake the day before you want to enjoy it.
