How to Make Keto No-Bake Key Lime Cheesecake — Quick Overview
This is a brief overview — see the recipe card for exact measurements and full details.
Start by making the crust: combine almond meal (or flour) with a granular sweetener and melted butter, then press the mixture firmly into a 9″ pie dish. Chill the crust in the refrigerator for one hour before adding the filling.
For the filling, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form and chill it. In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese with powdered sweetener until smooth, then add key lime juice, vanilla, and sour cream. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, taking care not to deflate it.
Pour the filling into the chilled crust, smooth the top, cover, and refrigerate for at least 8–12 hours (14 hours is ideal) until fully set. Slice with a warmed knife for clean cuts and serve with optional keto whipped cream, lime zest, or lime wedges.
