This Low-Carb No Bake Cherry Cheesecake Dessert is a recipe from the early days of my blog from a post that originally had two cheesecake recipes. I really like both those recipes, so I am happy to have them now in two separate posts now, which I think will be less confusing.

Kara and I loved this no-bake cherry cheesecake with no-sugar added cherry topping when we tested the recipe, and it was also a hit with her kids. But it would also be delicious topped with fresh berries or other fresh fruit of your choice. Hope you will try it when you need a treat for a special occasion!

What makes the no-bake cherry cheesecake low in carbs?

This recipe uses a natural no-calorie Monkfruit Sweetener (affiliate link) for the no-bake cheesecake part. The canned no-sugar-added cherry pie topping makes this easy cheesecake so good, but it does have artificial sweetener. If you don’t want artificial sweetener, I recommend topping it with some fresh berries instead of the cherry pie filling.

How low in carbs is the No Bake Cherry Cheesecake:

If you use the no-sugar added cherry pie filling, this no-bake cheesecake has about 10 net carbs per serving. If you opt for fresh berries to top the cheesecake, that will make it even lower in carbs.

When you need a treat, this Low-Carb No Bake Cherry Cheesecake Dessert is delicious and easy to make.

Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 12 ounces cream cheese, allow to soften at room temperature at least 1 hour
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 6 T Monkfruit Sweetener (see notes)
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract or slightly more if you like a strong vanilla flavor

Topping Options:

  • 2 cups No Sugar Added Cherry Pie Filling (see notes)

Instructions

  1. Take cream cheese out of the fridge, unwrap, and place in a bowl on the counter for at least an hour to soften.
  2. Put the heavy cream into a different bowl and beat with hand beater (affiliate link) until it forms soft peaks.
  3. When the cream cheese has softened, use the same beater to combine it with the Monkfruit Sweetener (affiliate link) and vanilla.
  4. Beat whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, using low speed of electric mixer.
  5. Transfer mixture to 6 individual small ramekins or glass dishes and chill at least one hour.
  6. When you’re ready to serve top each serving with No Sugar Added Cherry Pie Filling (affiliate link) or fresh berries.
  7. I only found 20 oz. cans of pie filling and used 1/3 cup per cheesecake, but a smaller can would have been plenty and using less of the topping would reduce the carb count.

Notes

I prefer Monkfruit Sweetener (affiliate link) for this recipe, but use any sweetener you like.

The recommended serving of 1/3 cup for the No-Sugar Added Cherry Pie Filling was used in calculating nutritional information, but if you prefer use less of the topping or use fresh berries, both of which will be lower in carbs.

This recipe given to me by a teacher at school back in 2006, slightly adapted from Dr Atkins Quick and Easy New Diet Cookbook.

Low-Carb Diet / Low-Glycemic Diet / South Beach Diet Suggestions:
If you use Monkfruit Sweetener and the recommended 1/3 cup serving of the no-sugar added pie filling, this No-Bake Cherry Cheesecake recipe will have about 13 carbs and 3.2 grams fiber per serving. You could decrease that by using less of the topping or topping it with fresh berries.  Heavy cream isn’t approved for the original South Beach Diet but this wouldn’t be too bad as a personal choice item once in a while, and South Beach would recommend low-fat cream cheese and half and half.
