Ingredients You’ll Need for Cozy Keto Peanut Butter Cheesecake

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup erythritol or preferred sweetener

1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup natural peanut butter

How to Make Cozy Keto Peanut Butter Cheesecake

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix together almond flour, cocoa powder, sweetener, and melted butter until well combined. Press this mixture into the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan to form a crust. Bake for 10 minutes and then let it cool.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the heavy cream, peanut butter, sweetener, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until fully combined and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Pour the peanut butter cheesecake filling over the cooled crust and smooth out the top.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
Slice and serve.

Delicious Variations to Try

Chocolate Chip Bliss: Add some sugar-free chocolate chips into the cheesecake filling for an indulgent chocolate-peanut butter combination.
Nutty Swirl: Swirl in some crushed nuts, like salted peanuts or pecans, into your filling before pouring it over the crust for a nutty crunch.
Berry Bliss: Top your cheesecake with a layer of fresh berries or a low-carb berry sauce for a zesty contrast to the creamy cheesecake.
Minty Fresh: Add a few drops of peppermint extract into the filling for a refreshing twist that pairs beautifully with the chocolate crust.
