Crustless Cheesecake Recipe – Best Easy Creamy Low Carb, Keto and Gluten Free Baked Dessert inspired by the no-crust Basque Burnt Cheesecake – with the video tutorial.
Crustless Cheesecake Recipe
This crustless cheesecake recipe is inspired by the Basque Burnt Cheesecake, which is one of the easiest baked cheesecake desserts that you can make.
The amazing recipe is whisked together in one large mixing bowl before the whole thing is baked to a golden, creamy delicious cheesecake. There’s no making a base or fussing with a water bath to create one of the seriously best cheesecake desserts imaginable.
It also happens to be low carb diet, ketogenic diet and gluten free friendly, making it the perfect dessert to make whether you’re following a diet like the keto diet yourself or serving the treat to someone following a gluten free or keto lifestyle.
Gluten-Free Cheesecake Ingredients
To make the cheese cake, you’ll need the following ingredients, which are all easy to find at a local grocery store:
Cream Cheese – the creamy texture and flavor is provided by plenty of cream cheese, which I always find to be budget friendly at places like ALDI supermarkets.
Sweetness – you can feel free to use sugar if you include that in your diet or for a keto cheesecake be sure to use stevia, monk fruit sweetener, sugar-free sweetener or any other keto-friendly sweetener you usually include in delicious recipes and baked treats.
Large Eggs – the eggs are simply added one at a time and whisked into the cheesecake batter. You don’t even need to separate them, as you often have to do for a regular cheesecake recipe.
Heavy Cream – extra creaminess and richness is added to the low carb cheesecake thanks to the inclusion of indulgent heavy cream. You can swap to any cream you like, ideally full fat for the healthy fats and rich texture. You can also feel free to swap some of the heavy cream for sour cream for an extra tangy cheesecake.
Flavor – a pinch of salt and vanilla extract are used to enhance the classic cheesecake flavor. You can swap the vanilla for almond extract, orange extracts or any other flavor you like.
To make a lemon cheesecake, you can whisk in lemon zest and lemon juice for an end result that’s perfectly lemon flavored.
Coconut Flour – the amazing keto friendly flour is wonderfully absorbent so only a tablespoon is needed to help bind the ingredients together and perfectly set the cheesecake.
You’ll find that room temperature ingredients, especially each block of cream cheese, means that the creamy ingredients can quickly and efficiently be whisked together.
You can enjoy the cheesecake as it is or with your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, whipped cream or even grated chocolate.
This is one of our family favorite desserts, you’ll see that it’s simple to prepare, has a creamy, lighter texture than other cheesecakes and is naturally diet friendly.
