This raspberry no bake cheesecake is a delicious low carb treat that is easy to make and satisfies your cravings for cheesecake. Only 5.7g net carbs per serving.
This recipe is more of a recipe redo or makeover. A long time ago I made a low carb no bake cheesecake that has become very popular on the interwebz. Since then I’ve been working on my photography and wanted to remake it so I could take new pictures. Well that got me to thinking.
I decided to try to bring the carb count down as well. The original recipe is very good but also very filling. So I did some tweaking and came up with a new and improved version that I think you will like.
First thing I did to lower the carb count was use raspberries. Raspberries happen to be my favorite berry but they are also one of the lowest carb fruits. Berries in general are very low in carbs and also one of the best fruits for you to eat. They have so many antioxidants and plenty of fiber and they come in such beautiful, vibrant colors.
The second thing I did was to divide this recipe into 6 portions. I usually get two servings out of these because the cream cheese filling is …well so very filling. 😉 And I tweaked the cream cheese filling to have a bit less cream cheese and a bit more whipped cream. That way you can whip it up nice and fluffy. I also used half walnuts and pecans which are lower carb nuts. All of these little tweaks brought the carb count down from 12.7 net carbs to 5.7 net carbs.
A note about the syrup. I used Torani Sugar Free Red Raspberry syrup. I don’t know if you have ever used these syrups but they are fantastic. You can find them at coffee houses, Amazon or sometimes Walmart. They have a huge variety of flavors (regular and sugar free) on their website so I just buy mine there.
Right now I’m embarrassed to say that I’m down to about 10 bottles. Yes I said I’m down to 10. At one time I think I had 20. They last forever and you can use them in coffee, tea, alcoholic drinks, smoothies, baked goods, ice cream and many more recipes. I have over 20 recipes using Torani sugar free syrups.
Raspberry No Bake Cheesecake
So I think I’m going to retire this cheesecake recipe. I’ve made a lot of variations of this and I think it’s time to come up with something new. However if you like these low carb no bake cheesecake desserts I have plenty more on this site. The cheesecake parfaits and the pumpkin no bake cheesecake are two other good recipes to try. Enjoy! 1 serving =

Denise, I wasn’t craving cheesecake–BUT now I am! This looks so yum!
Denise says
Thanks Kristen! I really liked it.
CJ says
This sounds SUPERB! Was there a carb amount somewhere that I missed? I can not wait to make this, thank you for sharing with us!
CJ says
LOL…I just found the carb count! TY =) am anxious to try it!
Denise says
Hi CJ, I hope you like it. Please don’t hesitate to ask questions if you have them!
Barbara says
This looks so yummy…Must try!
Denise says
I hope you like it Barbara! Please let me know if you have any questions.
Kimbo says
Can you freeze when made? Thanks Kim
Denise says
Kim, I am not sure how the cheesecake mixture would hold up but since you wouldn’t be reheating it, it might just work. Please let me know if you do and how it came out. Thanks for stopping by!
Kathy says
51.8 g. of fat per serving is very high for a healthy snack. Perhaps one half low fat graham cracker crushed, some milled flaxseed, with a bit of coconut oil for the crust would take this number down. The strong favor of the raspberries are sufficient, rendering the nuts an unnecessary evil this time. The rest sounds amazing so thank you for sharing.
Denise says
Yes it is high in fat but those following a low carb or keto plan are more concerned with carbohydrates. However lots of people are not low carb and would appreciate your suggestions so thank you for commenting!
Andi D says
What size ramekins or mason jars should I use? The jars they are in now look huge and I want to make sure I get the right ones. Thank you!
Denise says
Hi Andi, I’m not sure but I think they were 8oz jars. They were leftover jelly jars that some one had given me homemade jam in. One jar is very filling and you would probably only need to eat half to be satisfied so you might be able to make more in small jars even. Hope that helps!
Paula says
Can you make this as one large serving? Would an 8×8 baking dish work? Wanting to make it for a party but can’t do individual servings.
Denise says
Hi Paula,
I can’t see any reason why that wouldn’t work. Please let me know if you do and how it worked out!
Daniel says
How many carbs per serving would you say there is? Thanks!
Denise says
Hi Daniel, it’s 514 cal / 51.8g fat / 32.1g carbs / 26.4g fiber / 6.7g protein = 5.7 net carbs per serving. Hope that helps!

Made this today. Confess I don’t really understand the per serving nutrition info here – seems on the high side when I enter it into my nutrition counter.
Anyway, I made 4 servings in ramekins. I used 1 C total nuts (walnuts/pecans), 4 oz of 1/3 reduced fat cream cheese, just shy of 1 C cream, about 1 C berries (blackberries and raspberries), no syrup in the berries (a squeeze of lemon juice instead) and then altered the sweetener and other ingredients accordingly.
Very delicious.
Denise says
I rechecked my calculations and got the same numbers. I know different apps have different information so it’s hard to have decisive nutritional information. I use the Loseit app for all my recipes. Anyway, most of the carbs come from the raspberries and a bit from the dairy. Thanks for commenting and letting me know about your version and I’m glad you like it!
Patty says
I also use lose it app can’t wait to try this
Denise says
Hi Patty,
So glad you use Lose It too! i love that app.
And I hope you enjoy it. I use the basic cheesecake mixture for lots of recipes so you can mix it up if you want for different flavors.
Rion says
6 oz of cream cheese? It comes in packs of 8. Is the number above correct? Just want to make sure it’s not 16oz
Denise says
Hi Rion, yes 6oz is correct. I was trying to make it as low carb as possible. I’m sure you could use 8oz if you don’t want to waste the extra 2 oz. But no that is not a mistake. I hope you enjoy it!
Annette says
I’ve made these twice and I love them! I do not cook the raspberries, only mash them and add stevia. This is my favorite keto dessert, thanks for posting!
Denise says
Thanks for commenting Annette. I’ll have to try that next time!
Mary Brown says
Hi Denise,
Can I use a no fat cream cheese? How would that affect the final product? Thanks, looking forward to trying this dessert!
Denise says
Hi Mary,
I don’t see why not as it’s not being baked or anything. However I have never done that because sometimes fat free products have more carbs in them than full fat. I hope it works out well for you!
Mary Brown says
I tried this recipe using low fat cream cheese and it was excellent! It didn’t add any extra carbs. It’s my new go to summer dessert. Thank you for sharing!
Denise says
Thanks so much for coming back to comment and I’m glad it worked out so well!
Annie says
I’ve made this dessert often….even for my non-low carb friends and family. EVERYONE loves it!!! My brother, who has a sweet tooth, requests it whenever we have dinner together.
Denise says
Aw thanks Annie… you made my day! So glad you all like it!
