Cheesecake Slice on Black Plate

Hi friends, Idriss here. Today’s post is about one of my favourite desserts of all time: the cheesecake. More precisely the NYC Style Keto Cheesecake.

There are a lot of things that New-Yorkers are the best at, like pizza, sushi, Chinese takeout, NYPD T-Shirts, great looking bridges … and they also gave us Sinatra.

For me however, NYC is all about cheesecake. The NYC style cheesecake is iconic and has been replicated by many others.

I’m always struck by its simplicity. The cheesecake filling only has 5-6 ingredients and the crust is a simple graham crust crumble.

My Keto NYC Style Cheesecake

I love tweaking and changing classic recipes to make them more suited to my taste buds.

However, when it comes to the classic NYC cheesecake I really don’t see much I can do to make it better. I like just the way it is.

That been said, because this is a Keto adaptation, some changes had to be made. Here the 2 main ones:

  1. The crust: for the crust, I chose to remake my simple and crumbly pie crust. It’s a simple and straightforward recipe. However, we did test this recipe twice, with and without crust and I have to say that the crust is totally up to you. You can completely skip it or make one that you prefer. The filling is the real star of the show.
  2. The sweetener: This is the obvious one. I swapped the sugar for Truvia, which is a mix of erythritol and stevia. It’s my sweetener of choice because it doesn’t have that bitter after-taste of pure stevia. Of course, you can use any sweetener you prefer.

Home chef tip: This is a basic cheesecake recipe, which means that you can adapt it to your taste and cravings. You can turn this into a chocolate cheesecake if you wish, top it with blueberries instead of strawberries, or even turn it into a chocolate peanut butter decadent treat. Have fun!

Ingredients

Cheesecake filling

  • 3 packs cream cheese at room temp. Each pack is 250g
  • 1/4 cup milk or almond milk
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup truvia or any sweetener you like PLEASE READ THE NOTE BELOW REGARDING SWEETNERS
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 Keto Pie Crust

Strawberry Jam

  • 2 cups chopped frozen strawberries
  • 1 tsp sugar-free sweetener

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 300F.

Pie crust

  • Break your pie crust by hand and push into a non-stick loose-bottom cake pan. Using your fingers, make sure that the crust is spread evenly. 

For the cheesecake

  • In a large bowl, add your softened 3 packs of cream cheese. Using a hand mixer, whip your cheese until you completely get rid of all lumps. Add vanilla extract, milk and sweetener of choice. Mix again until fully incorporated. 
  • Add your eggs, one at a time and mix until you get a loose and silky mixture. Carefully, pour your mixture onto a loose-bottom 8" cake pan. Bake your cheesecake on 300F for 45 to 60 minutes or until golden brown. Your cheesecake should be completely set but the centre should be a little jiggly. Baking time will vary from one oven to the other, so keep an eye on your cheesecake to avoid over cooking it. 
  • Let your cheesecake chill for 12 hours or overnight before serving. 

Strawberry Jam

  • In a nonstick sauce pan, cook your strawberries and stevia until you get a thick consistency (jam like). This should take 5-8 minutes. Set it aside and let it completely cool down.
  • Serve your cheesecake topped with some jam. Enjoy!

Notes

Recipe Notes:

PIE CRUST RECIPE LINK
Please note that if you choose to cook with a different sweetener (different than Truvia), you're going to have to adjust your dosage (add more, or less). Not all sweeteners are created equal, so make sure that you taste your cheesecake before adding the eggs, to ensure that it's suitable to your taste.
Here are some other sweeteners you can use:
  • Erythritol
  • Monk Fruit Extract
  • Swerve (makes granular and confectioner's) 
Regarding baking time. Baking time may differ from one person to the other, the thing you need to keep in mind is, your cheesecake has to be perfectly golden brown and the centre, and only the centre has to be slightly jiggly. So after 45 minutes of baking, check on it to make sure that it does not overcook.

    The flavor isn’t the only cool thing about the cheesecakes. They also have a perfect portion size for keto dieters. The recipe is easy to follow, only taking around 10 minutes of prep time and 30 minutes of inactive time.
