Save your leftover sugar free candy canes or peppermint candies and use them to make a sweet keto candy cane cheesecake. It’s a no-bake recipe with 6 grams net carbs per serving.
Candy Cane Cheesecake
Candy canes are synonymous with winter and Christmas! My kids love to hang them on the Christmas tree and use them as stirring sticks in their hot chocolate.
To celebrate this cold and fantastic holiday season, make a sugar-free, keto-friendly cheesecake. This is something you can share with everyone. No one will take a bite and be able to tell that it’s sugar-free or keto-friendly.
You’ll enjoy this cheesecake guilt-free.
Keto Peppermint Cheesecake
There are two parts to this tasty cheesecake – the gluten-free crust and the peppermint cheesecake filling. The gluten-free cheesecake crust is made with almond flour and sweetened with Swerve confectioner’s sugar substitute.
Since peppermint and chocolate go perfectly together, I added cocoa powder to the crust. The result is a cheesecake that reminds me of peppermint patties.
It’s incredibly delicious.
Keto Candy Canes
You’ll use the peppermint candies on top of the cheesecake. They add a crunchy texture and do a wonderful job of showing the flavors of the cheesecake off.
You can either crush up keto candy canes or some sugar-free peppermint candies. Use what you can find.
The combination of peppermint and chocolate is irresistible! Use these two flavors together to make keto chocolate peppermint cupcakes.
They are perfect for parties or just a fun dessert. Or make some keto white chocolate peppermint bark. It’s the perfect thing to hand out as homemade food gifts.
Christmas Cheesecake
This is the perfect cheesecake to make ahead and serve on Christmas morning, or at holiday parties. If you want to make it ahead of time, store it in an airtight food storage container and keep it in the refrigerator for up to three days.
It’s also really easy to freeze the cheesecake. It will stay fresh in the freezer for 6 months. To freeze the cheesecake, place it unwrapped in the freezer for an hour or so; just long enough to freeze the outside of the cheesecake.
Then, wrap it up completely with plastic food storage wrap. Keep it in the pie plate and wrap it tightly to keep the air off of it.
Then, when you’re ready to eat it again, let it thaw out in the refrigerator until you can slice into it.
Keto Cheesecake N0-Bake
I love making no-bake cheesecakes, they are some of the most delicious and easiest keto-friendly desserts you can make. In the spring and summer, I love to make no-bake strawberry cheesecake bites for lunch or dessert.
Another summertime dessert is n0-bake blueberry cheesecake.
There are other no-bake keto desserts you can make too. Keto pecan pie bars are an easy no-bake recipe that I love to serve at fall and winter parties.
