Low-carb, sugar-free, and ready in minutes, these heavenly Keto no-bake cheesecakes in cups are infused with strawberry puree and have a crunchy nutty crust. It's the most delightful healthy treat!
Ingredients
Crust:
- ⅓ cup coconut 25 grams, unsweetened, shredded
- ⅓ cup walnuts 40 grams, chopped, or pecans
- ⅓ cup sunflower seeds 50 grams
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 tablespoon erythritol powdered sweetener see note
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil solid
Cheesecake Layer:
- 7 strawberry 200 grams, large; frozen or fresh
- 1 mascarpone cheese 8 ounces/226 grams container
- ½ cup sour cream 125 grams
- ½ cup erythritol powdered sweetener 75 grams, see note
Instructions
- Warm a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the coconut shreds, nuts, and seeds.
- Dry toast for about 3 minutes, stirring frequently or until golden brown. Stay with it because the nuts can burn quickly.
- Remove from stove, and while still warm, stir in the cinnamon powder, salt, sweetener, and oil. Set aside.
- Note: If you used half walnuts or pecans instead of chopped, break them further down with a wooden spoon in the skillet once they are nicely toasted.
- If using frozen strawberries, microwave them for 1 minute. Then place in a blender and blend until completely pureed. Set aside.
- Place mascarpone cheese and sour cream in a mixing bowl (of a stand mixer or use an electric hand mixer) and start mixing on medium speed.
- Gradually add the sweetener. Then gradually mix in the reserved pureed strawberries until completely incorporated.
- Keep mixing until the mascarpone cheese becomes a thicker mousse (about 4 to 5 minutes).
- Distribute the crust between 5 to 6 mini glasses. Set aside a little bit for garnish.
- Transfer the mascarpone mixture to a piping bag and pipe the cheesecake over the crust.
- Top with berries, fresh (chocolate) mint, and some of the reserved crust if desired.
Notes
- Helpful Tips:
- :
- Keep an eye on the seeds and nuts when making the keto cheesecake crust. They can burn quickly, and it only takes minutes to become golden.
- I usually use a stand mixer, which is easier, but you can also use a hand mixer (electric mixer).
- Feel free to experiment with different flavors and toppings. You can use various berries or add other nuts.
- Storage:
- :
- You can store these keto cheesecake cups in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Cover it with plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out or absorbing any odors from other foods in the fridge.
- Or store the cheesecake mixture in an airtight container and assemble it when ready to serve. The toasted nuts can be made on the spot.
