Made a delicious keto strawberry crunch and wanted to make an easy and delicious light spring/summer keto dessert with it and boy was it! I used it for the crust and to decorate the top and it added a delicious strawberry crunch.


No bake cheesecake is very forgiving and you can take a lot of liberties with the recipe. Like how much crust, filling and sweetener you use that fit your desired size, macros and tastes. Just keep in mind that cream cheese and heavy cream both have carbs in them so choosing different amounts will change the carb count. I suggest using a powdered or liquid sweetener to sweeten the filling and allulose made make the filling not set completely because it can keep keto goods soft.
It is best and easiest to make this the night before serving but can be done about 4 hour ahead if in a pinch. I chilled it for an hour in the freezer, took it out of the pan, decorated and chilled for a few more hours in the fridge before slicing.

Keto Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake
Cheesecake Crust (Can make more if desired)
2 Cups Keto Strawberry Crunch (plus additional 1/4-1/3 Cup to decorate)-https://www.ketoupgrade.info/post/keto-strawberry-crunch-recipe-no-dye
2oz./1/4 Cup Melted Salted Butter
Strawberry Cheesecake Filling:
2-8oz. Blocks Cream Cheese
1 1/2Cups Heavy Cream
1/2 oz./about half cup sliced freeze dried Strawberries blitzed into a fine powder (can use a different form to get the strawberry flavor like a protein powder, puree or jam)
120g/1 Cup Powdered Monkfruit/Erythritol (to taste, any powdered or liquid sweetener you like)
1 tsp. Strawberry Extract
1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
Liquid Stevia (optional, to taste)
Red Coloring or other flavoring to taste, I used a half scoop of PowerBeets Acai Berry Pomegranate to flavor the border of the cheesecake- https://amzn.to/3GNbkNX
Instructions:
Make the Keto Strawberry Crunch (blend an extra 1/2oz. for the filling) and prepare a 9inch spring form pan with spray and parchment paper on the bottom
Pour 2 scooped cups of the crunch mix into the bottom of the spring form pan and add the melted butter, mix it well and spread it out evenly across the bottom, mounding more around the edges
Begin to pat the crust down from the inside, out to the edges, once it is evenly spread around the edges beginning patting it up the sides of the pan then chill while you prepare the filling
In 2 separate bowls (I used one bowl for the cream cheese and stand mixer for the whipped cream) measure out the cream and sweetener in one and place the cream cheese and extracts into the other
Whip the cream to stiff peaks and the cream cheese/extract until light and fluffy, add the strawberry powder or other flavoring to the cream cheese and whip until well combined, can add food coloring or other natural dye to the whole mixture or divide the cream cheese into two different bowls to add a different color layer or piping to the cheesecake (I took out 3 oz. of cream cheese and folded in 5 oz. whipped cream and added a half scoop of the beet powder to pipe a border)
If the cream cheese mixture is very stiff from your flavor additions, beat some of the whipped cream into the cream cheese to lighten then fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese, trying not to knock too much air out of it, taste for sweetness and adjust if needed
Spread the mixture into the chilled crust making sure to push in down well, so there are no gaps, can reserve some for piping if you didn't separate any to flavor differently, even out the top and chill for an hour before removing from the pan
Once removed pipe remaining filling (if reserved) and decorate with the remaining strawberry crunch, chill for a few more hours, slice and enjoy!
