Keto No Bake Cheesecake Recipe Notes
Making these fat bombs is suuuper easy! Here are all the simple tips and tricks you need to pull them off:
You’ll be using an electric mixer to blend your ingredients to a smooth creamy consistency and believe me – once you taste these bad boys, you’ll appreciate the process! Don’t forget to periodically scrape down the sides of the bowl to thoroughly incorporate a smooth even flavor.
You’ll also want to line your 8×8 baking dish with parchment paper, but butter or coconut oil will work too. You could also use little muffin pans if you like.
Ingredient Notes
Fat – Since these are keto fat bombs, you’ll want to use full fat ingredients. Real butter is best for this decadent no bake cheesecake recipe and it adds a ton of flavor. Working with softened ingredients makes them easier to blend for a cohesive flavor profile.
You’ll want to use salted almond butter. Using a small amount of salt reduces bitterness and actually enhances sweetness for a rich creamy flavor.
One more thing. I’m not usually a name brand kinda gal, but I ALWAYS use Philadelphia Cream Cheese. Better consistency (creamier!) and more flavorful.
Sweetener – Choosing your sweetener for this cheesecake fat bombs recipe is also a major consideration. I use erythritol since it’s a zero-calorie low carb sweetener that doesn’t spike blood sugar.
The thing is that erythritol is a sugar alcohol, which has a tendency to recrystallize after it sits, so it’s important to combat this by using powdered erythritol. If you can’t find confectioner’s erythritol on grocery store shelves, you can throw the crystals in a food processor and pulse a few times. Viola! Problem solved.
Flavoring – The flavoring is the extra yum that adds to the creamy decadence of this cheesecake fat bombs recipe. You’ll need some vanilla extract and cocoa powder to add some incredible flavor to your rich creamy treats.
Tools To Make
Preparing these little rich and creamy low carb no bake cheesecake bites is super simple and you don’t even have to pull out the big guns! Here’s what you need:
- Baking dish or muffin pan – to form fat bombs
- Large bowl – for combining ingredients
- Electric mixer – for thorough blending
- Rubber spatula – to scrape down the sides of the bowl
- Clean hands – for sampling your incredible cheesecake flavor
Storing Tips
As with any type of cheesecake, these little fat bombs store best in the fridge.
Can You Freeze These Healthy Snacks?
Oh yeah, you can freeze these awesome healthy snacks. Actually, it may be the only way to keep them out of sight long enough to stretch them through the week!
Really, though. They do get a bit soft in the fridge, so I prefer to store mine in the freezer. They keep longer that way too.
Recipe Variations
This little no bake cheesecake recipe is totally customizable. It’s really easy to tweak the recipe and come up with some awesome flavors to enjoy. Here are just a few healthy desserts suggestions:
- Add fruit. If strawberry cheesecake fat bombs are more your speed, then you can make those by simply tossing in a handful of fresh strawberries. Or add some lemon zest to make tangy lemon fat bombs that’ll knock your socks off!
- Add Peanut Butter. Turn these into cheesecake peanut butter fat bombs by using peanut butter for the crust (instead of almond butter). Psst – if peanut butter is your thinggg, check out these chocolate peanut butter fat bombs that put Reese cups to shame. Not sorry!
- Add Pumpkin. You can add 1/3 cup of pumpkin puree to the filling for low carb pumpkin cheesecake bites! Adding pumpkin will make the recipe softer, so it’s best to store this version of cheesecake fat bombs in the freezer.

Lindsey's Tips
- Chocolate. I love Lily's chocolate chips for this (they make dark, semi-sweet, and milk) but you can always make your own low carb chocolate by following my recipe!
- Cocoa Powder. I much prefer dutch process cocoa powder in sweets, as it’s significantly less bitter than regular!
- Lakanto, Swerve, or Erythritol. I stick to Lakanto and Swerve which are a 1:1 swap with traditional sugar. If using a different brand of Erythritol, keep in mind it's 70% as sweet as sugar, so you may need to add more to taste.
