This delicious, no bake, low carb, keto cranberry cheesecake pie includes an amazing keto jam made from fresh cranberries that's swirled into a luscious, cream cheese mixture creating a beautiful festive cranberry pie recipe for the holiday season. Just 6 net g carbs per serving.
Sugar Free Cranberry Sauce
Even if you're not a fan of homemade cranberry sauce, the keto cranberry filling recipe can be adapted with any other berry you prefer.
Low carb berries on the keto diet include blackberries, strawberries, raspberries and blueberries. Swap any of those instead of making this tangy cranberry sauce.
I add orange zest to my cranberry sauce but you could also swap that with lemon zest for more tart berries. It's a versatile sweet pie that can be adapted for any time of year.
If you have some low carb leftover cranberry sauce, you can use that, but it literally takes just a few minutes to make this cranberry recipe. Much better than buying store bought canned cranberry sauce full of refined regular sugar.
Low Carb Pie Crust Options
This creamy cranberry pie could be made without a pie crust if you prefer. But I do have a no bake pie crust included in the recipe below for you.
In my pictures I decided to bake my coconut flour easy keto pie crust since I had the time, but when you don't have time to bake the crust before hand, any of these will work.
I basically am lazy and never use my rolling pin to make the crust thin. I just use my fingers to press it into the pie plate.

Low-Carb Sweetener Options
If you're not a fan of Swerve confectioners, use another low carb powdered sweetener or swap it with liquid Monk Fruit.
I use two different sweeteners in the cranberry sauce and cheesecake filling because that helps cancel out any aftertaste of either. Always best to start with a small amount of any sweetener, taste and decide if you want to add more.
You can always add but not take away if it's too sweet for you. Since this cranberry cream pie, doesn't need any eggs, you can feel free to taste as you go and adjust as needed.
Low Carb sweeteners can be tricky as not everyone will like the same thing, so it's important to try different options before you say a keto recipe isn't good.
It usually is the preference of your tastebuds that make or break a low carb keto recipe and for some, the amount of sweetener needs to be more to reduce the bitterness. Use my Sweetener Guide & Conversion Chart.
Can I use coconut sugar instead?
Coconut sugar and organic cane sugar are still sugar and will still spike ones blood sugar. If you aren't watching your sugar or carb intake, then yes you could use those.
But if you are looking to reduce sugar and refined carb cravings, eliminating white sugar, cane sugar, and all forms of sugar will help you achieve that goal.
