Keto No-Bake Blueberry Cheesecake Bars
So You Want Cheesecake But Not the Whole “Baking” Situation? So you’re craving cheesecake, but the idea of turning on the oven feels personally offensive? Same. Especially when it’s warm outside or when you just don’t feel like babysitting a springform pan like it’s a needy toddler.
Enter: Keto No-Bake Blueberry Cheesecake Bars. They’re creamy, dreamy, low-carb, and require exactly zero oven time. You mix, chill, slice, and boom you’re suddenly the person who “makes amazing keto desserts.” We love that for you.
Let’s make something ridiculously good without breaking a sweat.
Why This Recipe is Awesome
First of all, it’s no-bake. That alone deserves applause. No water baths. No cracked tops. No staring through the oven window like you’re waiting for a miracle.
Second, it’s keto-friendly. That means low-carb, sugar-free, and totally aligned with your “I’m being healthy but still need dessert” lifestyle.
Third, it’s basically foolproof. If you can stir and press things into a pan, you can make this. It’s that simple.
And let’s talk flavor:
- Rich, creamy cheesecake filling
- Buttery almond flour crust
- Sweet-tart blueberry topping
It tastes like something from a fancy bakery, but you made it in sweatpants. IMO, that’s peak life.
Ingredients You’ll Need
Here’s what you’re working with. Nothing wild. Nothing that requires a treasure hunt.
For the crust:
- Almond flour (2 cups) – The keto baking MVP.
- Melted butter (½ cup) – Because flavor.
- Powdered erythritol (2–3 tbsp) – Sweet, but make it low-carb.
- Vanilla extract (1 tsp) – Optional, but highly recommended.
- Pinch of salt – Trust me, it makes everything pop.
For the cheesecake filling:
- Cream cheese (16 oz, softened) – Please soften it. Don’t fight me on this.
- Heavy whipping cream (1 cup) – Whipped to soft peaks.
- Powdered erythritol (½ cup) – Adjust to taste.
- Vanilla extract (1 tsp)
- Fresh lemon juice (1 tbsp) – Just enough to brighten things up.
For the blueberry topping:
- Fresh or frozen blueberries (1 cup)
- Powdered erythritol (2–3 tbsp)
- Lemon juice (1 tsp)
- Chia seeds (1 tsp, optional) – For thickening magic.
That’s it. No weird science experiments required.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Make the crust.
Mix almond flour, melted butter, sweetener, vanilla, and salt in a bowl. Stir until it looks like damp sand.
Press the mixture firmly into a lined 8×8-inch pan. Use the back of a spoon or your hands.
Press it down hard. Like you mean it. This keeps it from crumbling later.
Pop it into the fridge while you work on the filling.
2. Whip the cream.
Pour heavy cream into a bowl and whip it until soft peaks form. Don’t overwhip unless you’re aiming for butter. Stop when it’s fluffy but smooth.
Set it aside.
3. Make the cheesecake filling.
In another bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. No lumps allowed. Add sweetener, vanilla, and lemon juice. Beat again until creamy and silky.
Now gently fold in the whipped cream. Don’t stir aggressively. Fold slowly to keep that light, airy texture.
4. Assemble.
Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over your chilled crust. Smooth the top like you’re frosting a cake you actually care about. Refrigerate for at least 3–4 hours. Overnight is even better. Patience, grasshopper.
5. Make the blueberry topping.
In a small saucepan, heat blueberries, sweetener, and lemon juice over medium heat. Let them burst and soften. Mash them slightly if you like it jammy. Add chia seeds if using and let it simmer for 5–7 minutes until thickened. Cool completely before spreading over the chilled cheesecake.
6. Slice and serve.
Once fully set, lift the bars out using the parchment paper. Slice with a sharp knife. Wipe the blade between cuts for clean edges. Admire your work. You just made keto cheesecake bars without baking a single thing.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Using cold cream cheese.
You’ll end up with lumps. Sad, stubborn lumps.
Not pressing the crust firmly enough.
Crumbly bars = messy regret.
Skipping chill time.
If it jiggles like soup, it’s not ready. Let it set properly.
Pouring hot blueberry topping onto the cheesecake.
Unless you want a melty disaster, cool it first.
Overwhipping the cream.
We’re making cheesecake, not butter. Calm down.
Alternatives & Substitutions
Not everything in your pantry cooperating? No worries.
- Swap almond flour with pecan flour for a nuttier crust.
- Use coconut oil instead of butter if you’re dairy-sensitive.
- No erythritol? Use monk fruit sweetener or any keto-friendly powdered option.
- Want extra flavor? Add lemon zest to the filling for a brighter kick.
- Not into blueberries? Try raspberries or strawberries. Just keep them low-carb.
And if you’re not strictly keto? A touch of real honey in the topping tastes incredible. Just saying.
