Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 325°F (163°C). This ensures a perfect baking environment for your cheesecake.
- Mix the Cream Cheese: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and erythritol. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Add Coffee and Vanilla: Gradually mix in the cooled brewed coffee and vanilla extract. Continue mixing until fully incorporated.
- Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until just combined.
- Bake: Pour the mixture into a greased 9-inch round springform pan. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the center is set and the edges are lightly golden.
- Cool and Chill: Allow the cheesecake to cool down for about 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best flavor and texture.
- Serve: Top with your favorite keto-friendly toppings if desired, and enjoy!

Top Tips for Perfecting Creamy Keto Coffee Cheesecake
- Ensure Cream Cheese is Softened: Allow your cream cheese to sit at room temperature for at least an hour before mixing. This ensures a smooth texture—no lumps allowed!
- Experiment with Sweeteners: Feel free to adjust the sweetener to your liking. Some prefer it sweeter, while others enjoy a more subdued flavor. Just remember to taste as you go!
- Avoid Overmixing the Cream: When incorporating the whipped cream into the cheese mixture, fold gently to maintain the lightness of the cheesecake.
Storing and Reheating Tips
To keep your Creamy Keto Coffee Cheesecake fresh, store it in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or use an airtight container to prevent it from absorbing other flavors in your fridge. If you wish to keep it longer, this cheesecake freezes well!
