Keto Cheesecake Recipe

If you haven't noticed, I love cheesecake. 

Cheesecake has got to be the easiest, low carb, keto friendly, gluten free dessert known to mankind.  So, I knew I had to create a sugar-free Peanut Butter Cheesecake to satisfy my love of peanut butter, chocolate and cheesecake!

My last cheesecake recipe, Almond Joy Cheesecake, was created for my husband, so I decided to take on a new challenge with my niece and nephew in mind.

My niece, Brynn (12 years old), and my nephew, Reid (14 years old), live way up north (almost all the way to the North Pole!) in Canada's capital, Ottawa.  Hence, with me living in Florida, we don't get a chance to see each other very much.

Although we live miles apart, we all share a common love of cooking and let me tell you, these two can cook!  From making French Macarons to chocolate mint brownie bars, I am always in awe at what they create.

Here is a picture of my chocolate souffle recipe that they made over the holidays:

If you think that is impressive, take a look at their croquembouche dessert...

For those of you who don't know, a croquembouche or croque-en-bouche is a French dessert consisting of choux pastry puffs piled into a cone and bound with threads of caramel.  This dessert is not easy and most people end up burning their fingers trying to get the hot caramel draped across the dessert.

Now, back to making this keto cheesecake recipe!

Keto Peanut Butter Chocolate Cheesecake Instructions

Here is a brief description of the steps in order to make this keto cheesecake recipe:

Step 1 - Make the Base

• Combine all the brownie ingredients in a bowl and spread the mixture into a lined 7-inch spring form pan
• Bake for 10 minutes (the brownie will NOT be fully baked but will be firm enough to hold the cheesecake)

Step 2 - Make the Cheesecake

• While the base is baking, whip together all the cheesecake ingredients and then fold in the chocolate chips.

• Spread the mixture over the top of the brownie base and place the pan in a water bath
• Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the top is set and is just beginning to brown

Step 3 - Allow time to cool

• Remove the cheesecake from the waterbath and set it on the counter to cool for at least 1 hour before placing it in the fridge to fully cool

Step 4 - Decorate

• Combine the sugar-free chocolate chips and the peanut butter - melt in the microwave and pour the mixture over the top of the cheesecake.
• Add crushed peanuts or sugar-free peanut butter cups if desired (you can also make your own following my recipe for peanut butter cups).
