Cheesecake just makes sense on the keto diet, and this keto no bake peanut butter cheesecake is no exception. It will have your mouth watering and your feet heading for more!
While most peanut butter cheesecakes combine chocolate and peanut butter, this one leaves the chocolate out of the picture and gives the peanut butter a real chance to shine. This is definitely the peanut butter lover’s cheesecake of choice!
The crust uses peanut flour. Then the crust is topped with peanut butter cream cheese filling. On top of that goes the irresistible peanut butter sauce. Then, if you like, you can top that with chopped peanuts and whipped cream. Yum!

Place the finished crust in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the keto no bake peanut butter cheesecake filling.

Add the sour cream, powdered monkfruit sweetener, sugar free peanut butter, room temperature cream cheese, vanilla, and lemon juice to a mixing bowl and whip for 2 minutes until the mixture if fluffy.

- Make the keto peanut butter sauce
Follow the instructions for making the Keto Peanut Butter Dessert Sauce.
- Pour the peanut butter sauce on the cheesecake
Slowly pour the peanut butter sauce over the cheesecake, being careful to let only small drops drizzle over the sides. I usually pour the sauce in the middle and then use a rubber spatula to gently spread it toward the edges, allowing some to drip over the edges.
- Finish the cake
If desired, add chopped peanuts in a circle around the edge of the top of the cheesecake. Pipe whipped cream in dots in the middle of the peanuts in the same circle. Cut into 8 slices and enjoy!
