Keto Blueberry Cheesecake Recipe

So, you want cheesecake but don’t want to blow up your carb count? Same. Honestly, this Keto Blueberry Cheesecake is the kind of dessert that makes you question why sugar even exists. It’s creamy, tangy, fruity, and—drumroll, please—totally low-carb. Basically, it’s like cheating without actually cheating

Why This Recipe is Awesome?

  • First of all, it’s cheesecake. Do I even need to explain further?
  • It’s idiot-proof. Seriously, I pulled this off without accidentally burning the crust or making the filling curdle.
  • It’s one of those desserts that looks fancy enough for a dinner party, but it’s secretly easy enough to whip up in your pajamas.
  • Bonus points: it’s gluten-free and sugar-free, so your keto (and non-keto) friends will all be impressed.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s your shopping list. Grab these, and you’re halfway to cheesecake heaven:

  • Almond flour – for that nutty, crunchy crust. (Sorry, regular flour, you’re not invited.)
  • Butter (unsalted) – because butter makes everything better.
  • Powdered erythritol (or monk fruit) – your low-carb BFF.
  • Cream cheese (full-fat, don’t play games here) – the star of the show. Eggs – they keep everything together like edible glue.
  • Vanilla extract – because plain cheesecake is boring.
  • Lemon juice – gives a fresh little zing.
  • Fresh or frozen blueberries – obviously. (Frozen is fine if you’re too lazy to wash fresh ones.)

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven. Don’t skip this, unless you enjoy raw cheesecake soup. Set it to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Make the crust. Mix almond flour, melted butter, and a bit of sweetener. Press that sandy goodness into a springform pan. Bake for about 10 minutes.
  3. Mix the filling. Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sweetener, eggs, vanilla, and lemon juice. Keep it creamy—lumps are not cute.
  4. Pour and smooth. Pour the mixture over your baked crust. Tap the pan lightly on the counter to get rid of air bubbles. (Yes, this step is oddly satisfying.)
  5. Bake it. Pop it in the oven for about 45–55 minutes. It should be slightly jiggly in the center—like Jell-O, not like soup.
  6. Cool it down. Let it chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours, but overnight is best. Patience, grasshopper.
  7. Blueberry topping. Heat blueberries with a little sweetener and water until syrupy. Pour over the chilled cheesecake like the crowning glory it is.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Skipping the preheat. You’ll regret it.
  • Overbaking. Cheesecake should be creamy, not brick-like. Don’t be that person.
  • Use low-fat cream cheese. Stop. Just stop. That’s not the life we’re living here.
  • Cutting too soon. If you don’t chill it properly, your slices will look like a crime scene.

Alternatives & Substitutions

  • No almond flour? Use pecan or walnut flour. (Just don’t use coconut flour—it behaves like a diva.)
  • Want it dairy-free? Try vegan cream cheese, but don’t expect the same rich flavor.
  • Not a blueberry fan? (First of all, who hurt you?) Swap in raspberries or strawberries.
  • No erythritol? Monk fruit, stevia, or allulose will work too.
