Cheesecake is one of my favourite things on this planet.
As a child, I would ask for cheesecake for my birthday instead of cake. Learning how easy it is to make a keto cheesecake was so exciting for me. In this keto-friendly recipe, creamy, dreamy vanilla cheesecake is paired with deep, lush roasted strawberries. Unlike other fruits high in carbs, berries in general are ideal for a keto diet.
Never had roasted strawberries? You are in for a treat. Roasting the berries creates an incredible sweet and rich flavour. And it's not the first recipe with roasted strawberries. Make sure to check our Keto Strawberry Cheesecake Jars and Low-Carb Baked Strawberry Pots!
I have made this keto dessert two ways; Vanilla with the roasted berries piled on top, and with the berries mixed through to create a strawberry cheesecake swirl. Make them whichever way suits you, they’re both divine. Enjoy!
Note: If you can't tolerate cream and cream cheese or need a paleo-friendly option, use ghee in the crust and coconut cream as topping. Coconut cream is high in fat and just as delicious!

Ingredients (makes 6 tarts)
Crust:
- 2 cups almond flour (200 g/ 7.1 oz)
- 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp granulated Swerve or Erythritol (60 g/ 2.1 oz)
- 85 g butter (3 oz)
Cheesecake filling:
- 1 cup cream cheese (240 g/ 8.5 oz)
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream (120 ml/ 4 fl oz)
- 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp confectioners Swerve or Erythritol (50 g/ 1.8 oz)
- 1/2 tsp sugar-free vanilla extract
Berry topping:
- 1 cup strawberries (150 g/ 5.3 oz)
- 1 tsp granulated Swerve or Erythritol
- 1/4 tsp sugar-free vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 175°C/ 350°F (fan assisted), or 195°C/ 380°F (conventional). Melt butter in the microwave.
- Place almond meal and sweetener in a bowl and add the melted butter. Mix until combined.
- Grease individual tart pans — this recipe makes 6 mini tarts (12 cm/5 inch each), but I only have four. Or you can use one large tart pan. Using the back of a spoon, press the crust mixture firmly into the tart cases, using my measuring cup against the edge trick to get a great finish (as seen in my Keto Chocolate Coconut Custard Tarts). Prick base with a fork and bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove from oven, leaving oven turned on, and leave to cool for half an hour.
- Quarter the strawberries and place in a bowl with the sweetener and vanilla, combining until berries are well coated. Tip out onto a lined baking tray and spread into a single layer.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until softened and juicy. Remove and sit aside to cool.
- In your mixer bowl, place the cream cheese, sweetener and vanilla and beat until soft and fluffy.
- Add the cream and beat on high until smooth and creamy.
- Divide your strawberries in half. Pass one half through a sieve until smooth and seed free.
- Mix this puree through one half of the cheesecake mixture, leaving a spoonful to swirl on top. Spoon cheesecake filling into tart shells and smooth top. Use a toothpick or skewer to swirl the berry puree on top of the tarts.
- Chill for 1 hour until set. Serve with roasted berries on top.
- Store, covered in the fridge for up to four days. Please note that the crust will soften.
