Ingredients

2 packages Sugar Free Jello
1 cup Boiling Water
3/4 cup Cream Cheese (divided)
1 1/2 cups Whipping Cream
1/2 cup Pecans (ground)
1/4 cup Almond Flour
1 tablespoon Sweetener (Powdered Swerve)
2 teaspoons Butter (melted)

Instructions

Step 1: In a food processor, grind the pecans until very fine. Heat a frying pan over medium heat and brown the ground pecans with the almond flour, stirring continuously until aromatic, about 4–5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the sweetener and melted butter until combined.
Step 2: Line a springform pan with parchment or wax paper (tin foil or plastic wrap works too). Press the nut mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan using plastic wrap or waxed paper for easier handling. Refrigerate the crust while preparing the filling.
Step 3: In a large bowl, whip the whipping cream with 1/4 cup of cream cheese until stiff peaks form. Meanwhile, bring the boiling water to a boil in a saucepan, add the jello packets, and stir until dissolved.
Step 4: Blend the dissolved jello with 1/2 cup cream cheese until smooth. Gradually fold the jello mixture into the whipped cream using a mixer, mixing until fully combined and fluffy.
Step 5: Pour the jello cheesecake filling over the prepared crust. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set before serving.

Tips & Variations

For a different flavor, try using other sugar free jello varieties like strawberry or lemon.
If you don’t have a food processor, pulse the pecans in a blender or chop finely by hand.
To make the crust more aromatic, toast the pecans lightly before grinding.
Use full-fat cream cheese and whipping cream for the best creamy texture.

Storage

Store the cheesecake covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Re-chill before serving for the best texture, but avoid freezing as it may affect the consistency of the filling.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use regular gelatin instead of sugar free jello?

Yes, you can substitute regular gelatin, but you will need to add your own sweetener to maintain the sweetness without sugar.

What can I use instead of pecans in the crust?

Almonds or walnuts can be used as an alternative to pecans. Grind them finely and proceed as directed for a similar texture and flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Sugar Free Jello Cheesecake:

2 packages Sugar Free Jello
1 cup Boiling Water
3/4 cup Cream Cheese (divided)
1 1/2 cups Whipping Cream

For the Keto Cheesecake Crust:

1/2 cup Pecans (ground)
1/4 cup Almond Flour
1 tbsp Sweetener (Powdered Swerve)
2 tsp Butter (melted)

Instructions

Prepare the Crust: In a food processor, grind the pecans until very fine. Then heat a frying pan over medium heat and brown the ground pecans combined with almond flour, stirring continuously for about 4-5 minutes until aromatic. Remove from heat and stir in the powdered sweetener and melted butter until well combined.
Form the Crust: Line a springform pan with parchment paper (alternatively, tin foil or plastic wrap can be used). Press the nut mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan using plastic wrap or waxed paper to help compress it evenly. Place the crust in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, whip the whipping cream together with 1/4 cup of cream cheese until stiff peaks form. Meanwhile, bring 1 cup of water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Add the two packets of sugar-free jello and stir until completely dissolved. Transfer the jello and remaining 1/2 cup cream cheese to a blender and blend until smooth.
Combine Filling Mixtures: Slowly pour the smooth jello and cream cheese mixture into the whipped cream mixture while mixing with a mixer. Continue mixing until the filling is thoroughly combined and smooth.
Assemble and Chill: Pour the jello cheesecake filling over the prepared crust in the springform pan. Refrigerate the entire cheesecake for at least 1 hour to allow it to set before serving.

Notes

Using powdered sweetener like Swerve helps the crust bind together while keeping it keto-friendly.
For best results, use full-fat cream cheese and whipping cream for a smooth, rich texture.
You can substitute pecans with walnuts or almonds if preferred.
Chilling time is crucial to let the cheesecake set properly—do not skip or reduce chilling time.
To easily release the crust from the pan, lining the pan is essential.
