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 together with the almond flour, stirring continuously until aromatic, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the powdered sweetener and melted butter until combined.
Step 2: Line a springform pan with parchment or wax paper (tin foil or plastic wrap will also work). Press the nut mixture evenly into the bottom of the pan using plastic wrap or wax paper to help. Place the crust in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
Step 3: Whip the whipping cream and 1/4 cup of cream cheese in a large bowl until stiff peaks form. Meanwhile, bring the water to a boil in a saucepan, then add the sugar-free jello packets and stir until completely dissolved.
Step 4: In a blender, combine the dissolved jello with 1/2 cup cream cheese and blend until smooth. Slowly mix the jello mixture into the whipped cream using a mixer until fully combined.
Step 5: Pour the jello cheesecake filling over the chilled crust. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow it to set properly.

Tips & Variations

For a different crust flavor, swap pecans for walnuts or pecan-pecan blends.
Use flavored sugar-free jello (like strawberry or lime) to vary the taste and color of the cheesecake.
Chilling the crust before adding the filling helps prevent sogginess and keeps the texture crisp.

Storage

Store the cheesecake covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For best texture, avoid freezing as it may change the consistency of the jello filling. To serve after refrigeration, no reheating is necessary—just slice and enjoy cold.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use regular jello instead of sugar-free?

Yes, you can substitute regular jello if you don’t mind added sugar. The preparation remains the same, but the dessert will contain sugar accordingly.

What can I use instead of a springform pan?

If you don’t have a springform pan, use a regular cake pan lined well with parchment or wax paper for easy removal. Alternatively, individual dessert cups can be used to create single servings.

For the Keto Cheesecake Crust:

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

Instructions

Prepare the Crust: In a food processor, grind the pecans until very fine. Heat a frying pan over medium heat and toast the ground pecans with the almond flour, stirring continuously for about 4-5 minutes until aromatic. Remove from heat and stir in the powdered sweetener and melted butter until fully combined.
Form the Crust: Line a springform pan with parchment or wax paper (alternatively use tin foil or plastic wrap). Press the nut mixture evenly into the bottom of the pan using plastic wrap or waxed paper to assist. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while the cheesecake filling is prepared.
Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, whip the whipping cream and 1/4 cup of cream cheese until stiff peaks form. Meanwhile, bring 1 cup of water to a boil in a saucepan. Add the two packets of sugar-free jello to the boiling water and stir until completely dissolved. In a blender, combine the jello mixture with the remaining 1/2 cup of cream cheese and blend until smooth.

Notes

This cheesecake is best served chilled and consumed within 2-3 days for optimal freshness.
Using parchment or wax paper helps to easily remove the cheesecake from the springform pan.
For a firmer texture, you can refrigerate for longer than 1 hour, up to 3 hours.
Substitute pecans with walnuts if preferred, maintaining the same quantity.
Ensure cream cheese is softened before whipping for smoother filling.
