A very easy and quick recipe for simple keto cheesecake that is made of only 4 main ingredients and tastes just like regular cheesecake… or even better. One huge piece of it has only 450 kcal and 8 g of net carbs. 

Hello cheesecake fans! If you liked my recipes for keto chocolate cheesecake or keto peanut butter cheesecake, the chances are you are going to love this recipe. Cheesecake, as the name suggests, is made mainly from cheese, so today I’m sharing the simple keto cheesecake recipe. This is the simplest version of cheesecake you can come up with on a keto diet.

This cheesecake has no crust and no topping. Instead, it has lots of cheese, eggs and… you’ll see what else in a second. So here it comes. The simple keto cheesecake that can become the base for any further adjustments or additions (like topping or crust).

I recommend this simple low-carb cheesecake version for anyone who likes to eat bigger portions of cakes and who still wants to hit their macros without getting off track. This cheesecake is ideal because it has relatively few calories and isn’t a fat bomb just like many keto desserts are.  Here is how it looks.

Doesn’t my simple keto cheesecake look like regular cheesecake?

Ingredients 

The simple keto cheesecake is made of only a few base ingredients. The chances are you already have them at home.

• 1000 g (35 oz) of cream cheese
• 550 g (19 oz) of eggs (large 10 eggs)
• 100 g (3.5 oz) of butter (I used butter with 60% fat)
• 10 g (0.4 oz) of baking powder or baking soda
• A few drops of vanilla flavoring or vanilla extract
• Half a glass of erythritol. You can also use liquid stevia or the blend of stevia and erythritol. Note that erythritol is less sweet than stevia so you may want to add more of it to achieve the same level of sweetness.

Instructions

By following these instructions you will come up with the basic keto cheesecake version. Feel free to add more ingredients to change or improve the taste of your keto cheesecake. If weight loss isn’t your goal, feel free to add topping or crust (also check out the recipe for crustless keto cheesecake).

1. Add curd cheese into a large bowl. I recommend using a large bowl so that your cheesecake doesn’t go outside during blending.
   
2. Separate egg whites from egg yolks and put them in two different bowls.
   
3. Add egg yolks to the cream cheese in the bowl.
   
4. Dissolve 200 g of butter and add it to the mix as well. Now it’s also a good time to add baking powder and the sweetener.
   
5. Mix all the ingredients with a blender or mixer. Make sure your cheesecake is a bit too sweet at this point. You will soon be adding whipped unsweetened whites which will make the final product a bit less sweet.
   
6. Whip egg whites.
   
7. Gently mix whipped egg whites with the cheesecake mass you’ve just prepared.
   
8. Grease the baking form with butter so that your cheesecake won’t stick to it while baking.
   
9. Pour your cheesecake mass onto the baking form. Make sure to spread it as evenly as possible.
   
10. Preheat the oven to 175 °C (350 °F) and turn the air circulation on. Place your simple keto cheesecake in the oven and bake it for about 40 minutes.
     PRACTICAL TIP: Make sure to control the baking process so that your cheesecake doesn’t get burned. You can remove it from the oven once its top gets a brownish color.
11. Remove the cheesecake from the oven once it gets a nice brownish color or after about 40 minutes.
    
12. Let you cheesecake cool down for about an hour before putting it in the fridge. Note that your cheesecake will taste the best after one night spent in the fridge.
