Sugar Free Keto Low Carb Peanut Butter Cheesecake

This Creamy Delicious NO BAKE Keto, Low Carb Peanut Butter Cheesecake will WOW your friends and family showcasing that Sugar Free desserts can be just as good, if not better, than traditional!

SUGAR FREE PEANUT BUTTER 

Creamy Peanut Butter Cheesecake is the Ultimate Keto Low Carb Sugar-Free Dessert! It’s got that sweet and salty bite that just can’t be beat! Not only decadent for any special occasion, but no baking required makes it look like you spent hours in the kitchen!

Make sure you find a peanut butter that doesn’t include any sugar or other ingredients. Look for one with just peanuts and salt, that’s it. My favorite is Smucker’s Creamy Organic Peanut Butter. If you see oil on the top of the jar, don’t worry! All you need to do is scoop it out into a bowl, mix it up well and place it back into the jar. You won’t have to do that again and you’ll have creamy peanut butter every time. 

IS PEANUT BUTTER KETO?

Some keto experts will say peanut butter is a definite no as it is a legume and can be inflammatory for some people. But no foods are keto or not keto. Being keto is a metabolic state that your body is in, food is not keto and can’t get into ketosis. Most people get into ketosis by keeping carbs around 20 and some people can eat up to 50 carbs a day and stay in ketosis. Many people I know, including myself can and do occasionally enjoy peanut butter and stay into ketosis. It’s a personal choice. 

SUGAR FREE KETO PEANUT BUTTER CUPS

Peanut Butter and Chocolate is the most beloved of all combinations, in my humble opinion. I’ve just got a thing for peanut butter and cheesecake and with the combo of chocolate, well it’s just a magical dessert.

I made this beauty for my birthday this year, which was shared on Thanksgiving and even my family who are not low carb, absolutely raved about it. They could not believe it was sugar free! That’s always my goal in life to impress my non sugar free family and friends!

I wanted this to look like a fancy bakery made this so I opted to add some peanut butter cups and a drizzle of sugar free chocolate. I did cut a few corners and used some store bought sugar-free peanut butter cups on top. If I had more time I would have made my own peanut butter cups, but sometimes a few short cuts, help.

It’s a fairly easy recipe since you don’t have to bake the pie at all. You make the crust in the food processor, flatten it into the spring form pan then make the cheesecake in the mixer and pour it over the crust. The most time is just spent while it sets in the fridge for a few hours, then if you decide to go all out with the toppings, add them on and serve to impress your guests!

Brenda’s Notes:

  • You don’t have to use toffee flavored stevia but I do love it with this recipe. You could also use all vanilla flavored stevia or your favorite sugar free sweetener that equals 1 cup. I prefer the liquid stevia in this no bake cheesecake rather than granulated sweeteners because it helps keep the texture perfectly smooth, no graininess.

    I made this for our Super Bowl party. It is delicious! A definite must try. You will love it. Thank you Brenda. Easy to make.

  2. Well Iโ€™m excited. I just saw the recipe for the peanut butter cheesecake and I worked hard to follow all the instructions and I just put the cheesecake in the fridge! Iโ€™ll come back and comment on the taste. I had to use a than gum instead of gelatin cause I didnโ€™t have gelatin.

    1. The sweeteners I use are not artificial like Splenda and Aspartame and are natural and do not spike blood sugar.

  3. Hello. Iโ€™m confused Iโ€™ve never made a cheesecake before and never worked with gelatin either. Iโ€™ve read online that you shouldnโ€™t boil gelatin because itโ€™ll form lumps or lose itโ€™s gelatinous. Can you please help me with a step by step on how to use gelatin in your recipe? Iโ€™m planning on making it soon. Thank you.

  4. Grind your own peanuts! Or look at labels for peanuts ONLY in the ingredients.
    JIF and others like it have sugar.
    Health food stores and places like Whole Foods or Sprouts may make peanut butter and sell it in their bulk section.

    Good luck!

  5. Oh my gosh this is to die for – made it for myself for Christmas as i have been on a keto way of eating for 8 months now and i had to fight off my non-kero family. It was creamy and tasty. I have frozen the left over pieces so that i can bring a piece out every now and then to eat in my hot (Australian) summer that we are currently experiencing. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe

  6. Just want to make sure I understand — Your notes say that 1 cup of a sweetener can be used in place of the 1 1/2 teaspoons of stevia your recipe calls for???

    1. Yes but feel free to start with 1/2 cup and taste and decide if you need more. Stevia in liquid form is pretty sweet.

    1. Right not baking just mix the crust ingredients together in the food processor and press into the bottom of spring form pan.

  7. Rather than preparing the gelatin ahead, could you just sprinkle the great lakes style into the whipped filling?

  8. I see that the gelatin is cooked, sat aaide to cool, but is never mentioned in the recipe again. What am I supposed to do with the cooled gelatin?

    1. THANK YOU for catching that! I just added it now. Once cooled I poured it into the peanut butter cheesecake mixture before adding the whipped cream.

  9. I found sugar free peanut butter on a mark down rack at Walmart. It was $2.25 for 16 ounces of the unsalted, dry roasted peanuts only by Teddie. Guess no one was buying the unsalted or most want sugar and extra fats in theirs.

    1. Many brands of sugar free peanut butter are available at supermarkets and health food stores
