Keto Strawberry Cheesecake Cups are one of the easiest and most elegant Keto friendly dessert to make. These cups are perfect for a party, too! You can use ramekins or even those clear plastic co*cktail cups.
I just want easy…
Most of the time people that have “gone Keto” just want easy. They see all these fabulous and complicated recipes and it freaks them out. I’m part of the problem….and sorry for that. But these Keto Strawberry Cheesecake Cups are my attempt to ask for forgiveness.
This dessert is delicious, low carb at only 3g net carbs and SUPER easy. As in no bake and minimal clean up. Keto Strawberry Cheesecake cups take all of 10 minutes to whip up, you can use frozen berries of any variety, and they even freeze pretty well.

These got me in trouble

Almost a year ago I came up with my recipe for Low Carb Raspberry Cheesecake Bars. Yes, that’s a mouthful. And they are delicious, but there are so many steps and lots of baking and chill time with that dessert. Not everyone has the patience for that. Don’t get me wrong..they are delicious, BUT time consuming.
When someone is starting Keto the last thing they need is for something to be time consuming or require several steps. I find that in the beginning of your journey it’s best to have a few go-to treats to get you through the rough patches.

The Raspberry Cheesecake Bars got me in trouble because they are so delicious and every one wanted them all the time. I’m ok making these when I have time on my hands, but when I need something quick I make the Keto Strawberry Cheesecake Cups, for sure!!
No Bake…Say What?

Then I got to thinking about this “no bake” thing. I was on a lemon and lime kick a few weeks ago and I had some inspiration. So I came up with this great recipe for Keto Lime Cheesecake Cups that required no oven time…no crust and no eggs.
The only problem with this dessert was that the guests couldn’t get their tongues to the bottom of the cups! Tart and sweet and the perfect size. But…I still had the stovetop cook time for the curd. I wanted a ZERO cook time and that’s how I came up with Keto Strawberry Cheesecake Cups.

ZERO BAKE TIME
Mashing strawberries with a touch of sweetener and some lemon juice is the first step. Set that aside. In another bowl whip together the cheesecake ingredients-no eggs so no baking! The Keto Strawberry Cheesecake cups then are just about layering the fruit and cheesecake layers. The recipe is best if you chill for about an hour, but totally not necessary. ENJOY!

My secret to lasting weight loss
Maintaining my weight loss, and quite frankly staying healthy, has always been the main driver for this website. Making treats like these Strawberry Cheesecake Cups is really my trick. Sorry, it’s that simple for me…meal prep and almost always cook at home.
I wrote a few articles about this and will write more. Everyone needs to know that cooking at home is one of my major keys to success. Every meal does not have to be epic. When I am prepared I have a much better chance at success.

Ingredients
Strawberry Layer
- 2 cups strawberries frozen or fresh, chopped plus a few extra strawberries for garnish
- 1 tbsp Lakanto Monkfruit Sweetener or sweetener of choice, powdered
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Cheesecake Layer
- 2 cups heavy cream room temperature
- 8 oz cream cheese room temperature
- ½ cup Lakanto Monkfruit Sweetener or sweetener of choice, powdered
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
In a small bowl mash the strawberries with a fork. Leave the strawberry mixture chunky. Mix in sweetener and lemon juice, then set aside.
In a separate clean bowl using a hand mixer whip together 2 cups heavy cream, sweetener, cream cheese and lemon juice. Whip continuously until mixture thickens to a very thick consistency.
In 10 small cups (glass jars or ramekins) using half the strawberry mixture spoon in a small layer of strawberry into the bottom of each cup. The spoon equal amounts of the cheesecake mixture into each of the cups on top of the first layer of strawberry mixture. With the second half of the strawberry mixture gently and beautifully spoon equal amounts of strawberry over the cheesecake layer.
Garnish with sliced strawberry and lemon zest. Refrigerate and serve cold.
Notes
* a note on the sweetener and why it’s necessary to POWDER your low carb sweetener. Sugar alcohols like erythritol tend to stay granular or re-crystalize as they cool. By running your granular sugar alcohol through a clean coffee grinder and making it into a powder you less the re-crystalization of the sweetener.
I actually do not mind the texture of the re-crystalized sugar alcohol, but some people are bothered by the crunch in their teeth. Mind you it all tastes the same. Please let me know if you need any other tips on baking with sugar alcohols.
**Garnish with lemon zest or basil leaves is totally optional…but beautiful
