How to make a low-carb no-bake cheesecake crust?

The Keto crust is made using only two main ingredients: Keto graham crackers and butter. The graham crackers are blitzed in a food processor until they become fine in texture and then combined with the melted butter. The resulting mixture is then firmly pressed into the base of a springform pan and chilled in the freezer until it firms up. If you prefer, you have the option to substitute the Keto graham crackers with any low-carb cookies of your choosing. Additionally, instead of butter, you can opt for either coconut oil or ghee as an alternative.

What is the purpose of using sugar-free cherry jello?

The jello mixture contains gelatin, which helps stabilize and thicken the cheesecake filling. Without it, your cheesecake will be too soft, and a slice won’t hold its shape. Store-bought gelatin powders can be sweetened with sugar or a sugar-free sweetener. Opt for sugar-free types for a Keto-friendly cheesecake. The amount of sweetener in the gelatin powder is enough to sweeten the filling, but if you prefer an extra-sweet dessert, add more powdered sweetener to your preference. It contains cherry flavoring, which gives this cheesecake its unique fruity taste. You can swap it for lime-flavored, lemon-flavored, or strawberry-flavored jelly mixes for different flavors.

How to store this Keto cherry cheesecake?

Once chilled, cover the cheesecake tightly with plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container to prevent it from drying out or absorbing any odors from the refrigerator. It is advisable to store the cheesecake in the refrigerator to maintain its freshness and texture. This cheesecake can be kept refrigerated for up to 3 to 5 days.
