Keto Key Lime Cheesecake - Divalicious Recipes (2024)

A keto key lime cheesecake that is set in a coconut crust makes a luscious dessert. A great low carb and gluten free dessert for summer.

As a homage to the key lime pie, I used a 9-inch pie dish to make this cheesecake. When it was complete I rather liked the look of it and would use the dish again to make a coconut crusted cheesecake. If you want to stick with a spring form cake tin I would use an 8 inch one.

Low Carb Cheesecake Crust

Since I made my coconut blueberry cheesecake I have been enjoying a coconut shell for a few desserts. It’s such a delectable alternative to low carb flour crusts and gives a chewy texture too. When I came across the rare occurrence of key lime in the supermarket the combination of coconut and cheesecake called me like a siren.

Keto Key Lime Cheesecake

This key lime cheesecake is surprisingly light, yet creamy. It may have been how I whisked the filling but even a friend who is not keen on sweet desserts enjoyed a piece. I had to give the cheesecake away since the Chief Taster was away and once I tasted a slice I knew that I could not be trusted alone with the key lime cheesecake. I would have eaten it for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

For the filling I only used a quarter of a cup, purely as I wanted the tartness of the key lime flavour to come through as a contrast to the coconut. I would recommend you taste test the filling, so you can adjust for your own sweet tooth. Call it a great excuse to enjoy a couple of large spoons of the filling.

I was cruel and sent the Chief Taster photos of this whilst he was away, so I will have to make this key lime cheesecake again when he returns. It is also a great excuse to have another piece as the memory of that creamy filling against the cheesecake still lingers with me.
