Ready to make your taste buds riot?

Why This Recipe Works

This isn’t just another keto dessert—it’s a flavor bomb that nails texture, taste, and macros. The crust uses almond flour and butter for a crispy base that doesn’t taste like cardboard. The filling?

Cream cheese, erythritol, and vanilla whip into a cloud of perfection. And the blueberry topping? Just enough sweetness to feel indulgent without spiking your blood sugar.

Plus, it’s stupidly easy to make. Even if you burn water, you’ve got this.

Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Crust:

  • 1 ½ cups almond flour
  • ⅓ cup erythritol (or your favorite keto sweetener)
  • ⅓ cup melted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Filling:

  • 24 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ¾ cup erythritol
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup sour cream

For the Blueberry Topping:

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp erythritol
  • 1 tsp xanthan gum (to thicken)

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Prep the crust: Mix almond flour, erythritol, melted butter, and vanilla. Press into a 9-inch springform pan.

    Bake at 350°F for 10 minutes. Let it cool like your ex’s texts.


  2. Make the filling: Beat cream cheese and erythritol until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, then vanilla and sour cream.

    Pour over the crust.


  3. Bake it: Bake at 350°F for 40–45 minutes until the center jiggles slightly. Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let it chill for an hour (like your attitude after coffee).
  4. Blueberry topping: Simmer blueberries, lemon juice, and erythritol for 5 minutes. Stir in xanthan gum.

    Cool, then spread over the cheesecake.


  5. Chill out: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours—overnight if you’re not impatient. Slice and devour.

Storage Instructions

Store this bad boy in the fridge for up to 5 days—if it lasts that long. For longer storage, freeze slices wrapped in parchment paper and foil.

Thaw in the fridge overnight. Pro tip: Don’t microwave it unless you enjoy cheesecake soup.

Why This Recipe Rocks

Besides tasting like a cheat meal? It’s low-carb, sugar-free, and gluten-free.

The almond flour crust packs healthy fats, and the blueberries add antioxidants without the sugar crash. Plus, it’s high in protein thanks to the cream cheese and eggs. You’ll satisfy your sweet tooth without derailing ketosis.

Win-win.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Overmixing the filling: You’ll incorporate too much air and get cracks. Smooth, not fluffy.
  • Skipping the chill time: This isn’t a suggestion. Warm cheesecake is a tragedy.
  • Using cold cream cheese: Soften it first, or you’ll have lumpy filling.

    Nobody wants that.


Ingredient Alternatives

No blueberries? Swap in raspberries or blackberries. Almond flour allergy?

Try sunflower seed flour. Hate erythritol? Allulose or monk fruit work too.

Dairy-free? Use coconut cream instead of sour cream. FYI, substitutions may tweak the macros, but the result will still slap.

FAQs

Can I use frozen blueberries?

Yes, but thaw and drain them first.

Frozen berries release extra water, which can make your topping runny.

Why did my cheesecake crack?

You probably overbaked it or cooled it too fast. Next time, use a water bath or leave it in the turned-off oven to cool gradually.

Is xanthan gum necessary?

Not strictly, but it thickens the topping. Without it, you’ll get more of a blueberry sauce (still tasty, though).

Can I make this without eggs?

IMO, eggs are key for texture, but you could try a flaxseed egg substitute.

Results may vary—fair warning.

Final Thoughts

This keto blueberry cheesecake proves you don’t need sugar to eat like royalty. It’s rich, creamy, and barely tastes “healthy.” Make it for yourself, your friends, or your judgy carb-loving relatives—watch them beg for the recipe. Now go bake something awesome.
