Keto Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake
This Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake is pure decadence! It’s not too sweet, but very rich, so a small slice goes far! The fresh raspberry pockets swirled throughout are delightfully refreshing.
It’s been a little while since my last cheesecake, which means I owe you a really good one—and believe me, this chocolate raspberry cheesecake delivers.
I like making cheesecake for the holidays and I’m excited about this one.
• There’s no water bath required! The cheesecake turns out creamy with just water UNDERNEATH the baking pan.
• This cheesecake freezes beautifully if you’re someone who likes to keep a little dessert on hand.
• The raspberry swirl is made with frozen berries so if you can’t find fresh you can still make this.
RECIPE NOTES AND TIPS
• Note that the cheesecake needs to chill overnight before you serve it so factor that into your baking plans.
• Your cream cheese needs to be at room temperature in order to mix properly with the other ingredients; it will take about 30 to 60 minutes on the counter depending on the temperature in your kitchen.
• Don’t use reduced-fat or non-fat cream cheese! Your cheesecake won’t set up properly.
• I always use Philadelphia cream cheese in cheesecakes. This post isn’t sponsored; some brands of cream cheese just don’t seem to set up as well after baking but Philadelphia always works well for me!
• Be sure to set your springform pan on a baking sheet when you bake both the crust and the cheesecake; it will catch any butter that seeps out of the pan and save you from having to clean your oven.
HOW TO STORE YOUR CHEESECAKE
If you have leftover cheesecake, you can store it, covered, in the fridge for 3 or 4 days.
You can also store slices of cheesecake in the freezer, tightly wrapped, for up to 3 months.
