When we first started experimenting with keto-friendly desserts, we were honestly worried. Could they really taste as indulgent and comforting as the “real” thing?
After plenty of trial and error (and, trust us, a few flops along the way), we discovered that keto cheesecake might just be the ultimate hidden gem.
Each slice is creamy, rich, and delightfully sweet—even without regular sugar. We’ve rounded up 10 of our absolute favorites that keep us coming back for more, proving that going low-carb doesn’t mean giving up life’s little luxuries.

[1] Classic 6-Ingredient Keto Cheesecake
We remember the first time we made this cheesecake—Matthew swore he didn’t have a sweet tooth, but we caught him sneaking back for seconds (and maybe thirds!).
This recipe keeps it simple: just cream cheese, sour cream, and a handful of pantry staples. The texture is so smooth and creamy that you’d never guess it’s keto-friendly.
Believe us, it’s the kind of dessert that’ll have even your non-keto friends raising an eyebrow and reaching for another slice. Just sayin’…

[2] Sugar-Free “Real Deal” Keto Cheesecake
We can’t lie: when we first made this sugar-free cheesecake, we were a little skeptical. (We’ve had some gritty “keto” desserts before!) But as soon as we took a bite, we were sold.
The texture here is creamy, dreamy, and totally convincing—even our friends who aren’t counting carbs said it tasted like the “real thing.”
We remember Matthew saying, “Just one more slice,” and before we knew it, we were fighting over the last piece. Trust us, it’s worth a try.

[3] No-Bath, Ultra-Creamy Keto Cheesecake
We were honestly shocked at how easy this one turned out—no water bath required! We remember thinking, “Is this really going to be as creamy and rich as a traditional cheesecake?”
The answer: absolutely. Picture us late on a Saturday night, hovering around the kitchen island, cutting “just one more” sliver off the edge.
This is that kind of dessert. It’s huge, indulgent, and freezer-friendly (perfect for those emergency sweet-tooth moments). Trust us, it’ll make you reconsider ever fussing with a water bath again.

[4] 5-Ingredient Dreamy Keto Cheesecake
We can’t get over how unbelievably creamy and smooth this cheesecake is—it’s like the dessert version of a warm hug.
We remember slicing into it after dinner, both of us sneaking a second piece before even finishing the first. (No regrets!) The minimal ingredient list makes it super approachable, but the taste? It’s total “fancy bakery” vibes without the bakery fuss.
Feel free to add fresh berries on top, but honestly, it’s perfect on its own. Trust us, this one’s going straight into our regular dessert rotation.

[5] The “Very Best” Airy Keto Cheesecake
We remember thinking, “Could this really be as good as everyone says?” Spoiler alert: it totally is. The crust tastes like a classic graham cracker base (don’t skip that toasting!), and the filling is unbelievably airy and rich.
We once made this for a family gathering, and everyone kept asking if we used regular sugar—they just couldn’t believe it was keto.
Top it off with a fresh berry swirl or dreamy strawberry jelly, and you’ve got a show-stopper. Seriously, it’s worth every indulgent bite.

When we first tasted this keto New York-style cheesecake, we literally paused, forks mid-air, just to savor that smooth, velvety texture.
The slow, gentle bake (with a water bath!) makes it so dense and creamy that each bite feels like pure luxury. We once served this at brunch with friends who had no idea it was low-carb—they just raved about how decadent it tasted.
Add a simple berry sauce if you like, but honestly, it’s perfect straight-up. We’re talking serious dessert magic here.
