Creamy No‑Bake Cheesecake – Gluten‑Free, Low‑Carb, and Diabetes‑Friendly
This no‑bake cheesecake tastes like the classic, creamy dessert but is made with simple ingredients that keep it naturally gluten‑free, low‑carb, and gentle on blood sugar. The filling is rich and velvety, with just the right amount of sweetness. The high‑protein base helps make each slice satisfying without feeling heavy. It’s the kind of dessert that feels indulgent enough for celebrations but balanced enough for everyday enjoyment—proof that low-carb treats can still taste like the real thing.
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons almond flour
- 2 tablespoons flax seed
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- 1 cup cottage cheese reduced fat or regular
- 8 oz cream cheese softened (reduced fat or regular)
- ½ cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon syrup regular or sugar-free
- 2 tablespoon sweetener of choice sugar, monk fruit, allulose, stevia
- Optional: 1 tablespoon of coconut flour or 2-3 tablespoons protein powder
Instructions
- Mix together almond flour, flax seed, and butter in a small bowl.
- In small serving cups or a greased muffin tin, press almond flour mixture to make a thin crust. Let set 5-10 minutes.
- In a food processor, pour cottage cheese and blend until smooth. Add Greek yogurt, softened cream cheese, and sweeteners. Blend again until well mixed and smooth.
- Pour cottage cheese mixture evenly amongst serving cups or muffin tins.
- Let set in the refrigerator for 2 hours or freezer for 1 hour prior to serving.
Notes
This cheesecake sets softly, so it’s best served in small cups or jars where it can stay creamy without needing to hold a firm cup form. If you do prefer to serve them from muffin tins and need them to hold cup form, you can: decrease the yogurt by ¼ cup (¼ cup total) and add 1 tablespoon of coconut flour or 2-3 tablespoons of protein powder to firm.
