# 1: New York-Style Keto Cheesecake
Ever since the Greeks invented cheesecakes some 4,000 years ago as a high-energy source for their athletes, this dessert has come a long way.
There are so many kinds of cheesecakes these days other than the traditional, 3-ingredient one. Basque cheesecake for example, with its intentionally burnt texture, Philadelphia Cheesecake, Chicago Cheesecake, Swedish Cheesecake, Japanese `Cotton’ Cheesecake… the list goes on.
But, like most Americans, we at Evolve180 have a special place in our hearts for the New York-style one, and this recipe more than does it for people on a Ketogenic diet program who are aching for that ultra-rich, creamy and larger-than-life experience.
? What We Love About This Recipe:
The no-bake version! Simply replace 1/2 cup of the yogurt with coconut oil or coconut butter, and chill instead of baking.
? Our Top Tip:
The cheesecake (from Chocolate Covered Katie) should seem a little underdone with a soft, jiggly center when you take it out of the oven. By doing this, the texture doesn’t dry out as the dessert cools and firm up, and the moisture evaporates.
? Ingredients:
• 24 oz cream cheese or vegan cream cheese
• 2 cups yogurt, such as coconut milk yogurt
• 2 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp lemon juice, optional
• 2/3 cup erythritol (sugar or maple syrup also work for non-keto)
• 1/4 cup almond flour

# 2: Quick Keto Cheesecake (Cheesecake Factory Style)
If you loved going to Cheesecake Factory in your pre-Keto days for their 35 signature desserts, this recipe should transport you back to those times when you could eat a single slice of Oreo Dream Extreme cheesecake with 1,600 calories 133g of sugar without a care in the world.
Also, this Cheesecake Factory-inspired recipe by Joe Duff from The Diet Chef is really quick to prepare. Typically, a cheesecake can take several hours from start to finish, but this one can be completed in less than an hour.
? What We Love About This Recipe:
The shortbread cookie crust!

If there ever was a dessert designed for Keto, says Sahil Makhija of Headbanger’s Kitchen, it is cheesecake.

# 6: Keto Cheesecake Bars
Cheesecake fanatics don’t stop at cakes. Cheesecake popsicles, cheesecake bites, cheesecake cupcakes, cheesecake bombs – as long as something tastes of cheesecake, their craving for that particular flavor is easily satisfied. So it is with cheesecake bars as well.
We tried this lemon-based treat by Carolyn from All Day I Dream About Food because we loved the recipe for Keto cheesecake popsicles she posted and it turned out to be our hands-down favorite in the bars category.
? What We Love About This Cheesecake Bar Recipe:
All recipes for Keto cheesecake bars created by Carolyn are exceptional. (Try the Keto Pecan Cheesecake Bars, Keto Chocolate Chip Cookie Cheesecake Bars and the Keto Apple Cheesecake Bars.) The zesty lemon flavor in this one just happened to be our favorite.

Be careful not to overbeat the eggs. Add them in at the last minute and keep it gentle, so the cheesecake does not rise too high and risk cracking.

The recipe for Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheesecake Brownies is one of the most popular on recipe creator Annie’s Maebells website, so she wanted to give it another whirl with a Keto version.
You can leave out the cheesecake swirl if you want classic brownies. Just bake the brownies long enough to be done, and no more.

The chocolate drizzle with Bulletproof’s original milk-style chocolate bar takes it to the next level – and gives you some extra nutrition.

11 Quick Tips On How To Make The Perfect Keto Cheesecake – Every Time!
• Unless the recipe specifically asks for fat-free ingredients, go with regular cream cheese and sour cream to get that rich, creamy cheesecake flavor. This applies to both non-vegetarian and Vegetarian Keto diet plans.
• Want to get more creative with the crust? Experiment with different herbs and orange peel..
• To avoid lumps, make sure that all ingredients for your low carb cheesecake is at room temperature. A smooth batter ensures a cheesecake with smooth texture.
• Your pan should be well-greased. If the batter sticks to the sides, it may pull down at the cake and cause it to crack.
• Lining the bottom of the pan with foil helps the cake to slide off smoothly.
• Don’t use store-bought, whipped cream cheese. The air whipped in it interferes with the texture. Go for the rectangular blocks of cream cheese (preferably full fat) instead.
• Don’t overbeat the batter as that makes unnecessary air bubbles and can cause the cake to rise too high and crack while you’re baking it. Combine ingredients at a medium-low speed.
• To prevent drying, place a pan of water in the oven to generate moisture and steam as the cake bakes.
• Don’t poke at the cheesecake to check its doneness. Jiggle it instead. If the edges are firm with a soft center that is still wobbly, it is ready. The heat inside the cheesecake will firm it all up as the cake is cooling.
• Press down firmly on the crust to make sure the layer is dense and well-compacted. Not doing so can make the crust break and get soggy from absorbing all the batter that has seeped into the cracks.
• In spite of your best efforts, if you see cracks on your finished cheesecake, don’t worry. Cover up the blemishes with toppings and no one will know.
