Sugar Free No Bake Cheesecake

I was going to wait on sharing this Sugar-Free No-Bake Cheesecake recipe but lots of you bombarded me with comments and shares on the Facebook photo of this recipe. {Originally shared here.}

So fast forward to today….and here is the recipe 🙂 Sometimes ya’ll can be very convincing.Hopefully, this lives up to the hype–which I seriously think it will.

Why I love this cheesecake:

  1. The filling is made in a blender–!!!!!
  2. It’s no-bake–!!!
    • Ok, the crust isn’t no-bake, but the rest is!
  3. It sets up perfectly in the fridge in an hour or two because……
  4. I included CHIA SEEDS. For those of you that aren’t familiar with chia seeds: yes they are the same seeds that come in a chia pet. Ch-ch-ch-chia! Sorry, couldn’t help it.

Main Ingredients Needed

You will not believe the ingredients in this sugar-free no-bake cheesecake. Really really healthy. Plus, it’s light but still decadent and creamy with a slight coconutty flavor in the crust which is DIVINE. If you’re doing any sort of healthy eating, this is your ticket to guilt-free chocolate cheesecake. Seriously. Take a look at this list:

For the Crust

  • Almond + Coconut Flour – these two make up the crust. If you can’t have almond flour, try oat flour instead.
  • Salt – to balance the flavors.
  • Stevia – to sweeten.
  • Cinnamon – to add some warm flavor.
  • Coconut Oil – this is melted and holds the crust together.

For the Filling

  • Neufchatel Cheese – this is basically low-fat cream cheese!
  • Fat-Free Cottage Cheese – this is blended up so it is smooth and creamy!
  • Hazelnut Flavoring – I love hazelnut and chocolate together, but you can always flavor with more vanilla or try almond extract if that’s your thing.
  • Vanilla – for flavor.
  • Chia Seeds – you can’t taste the chia seeds at all in this recipe. When you blend them, they turn somewhat gelatinous {but not in the grody jello kind of way} so they are perfect in this recipe.
  • Cocoa Powder – to make this a chocolate cheesecake!
  • Stevia – to sweeten.
  • Lemon Juice – to brighten and add some tang.
  • Almond Milk – I used the unsweetened kind. Used for creaminess.

For the Glaze

  • Maple Syrup – although this does technically have sugar in it, it’s more natural sugar so, therefore, healthier, in my opinion. If this bothers you, feel free to substitute with a sugar-free option.
  • Cocoa Powder + Vanilla – use for flavor.
  • Hot Water – this helps the ingredients come together.

    I wouldn’t call this sugar free. Maple syrup has a very high sugar content. Sorry to be a Debbie Downer here, but I think it’s important to be aware of that. Check your labels.

    I only have stevia in the raw packets. I tried the recipe but found that many tablespoons to be too sweet and it left a horridly bitter aftertaste. Should I have used fewer packets, are the packets a different measurement? Otherwise this cake was delicious.

    Please add lactose/gluten free recipes in a recipeI find It hard to find the two together. Also any suggestion for a replacement for a lactose cream cheese?

    Can you suggest another flavoring besides the hazlenut as i do not care for hazelnuts. also could i use agave for the stevia in the raw? if so how much would you recommend? thanks, looks so good!

    1. Lauren

      You can just leave the hazelnut flavoring out all together, or sub in almond extract or maybe coffee extract? And, if you’re going to use agave, add in a few extra chia seeds to make sure it sets up. I’m not familiar with that product and have only used it once or twice. Add in as much as you need to get it as sweet as you’d like.

    Yum, looks great!
