Step-by-step
- Melt the butter in a sauce pan and cook till the milk solids separate and start to turn brown in color. Once they turn a nice dark brown remove from the heat and set aside. This is our brown butter.
- Take the peanut butter cookies and blitz them in the food processor. Add in the cocoa powder first and mix well, then the brown butter and blend together till it's all well incorporated.
- Remove on a 7" spring form tin and spread around evenly to form the base. Pop it in the freezer for 15 minutes to set.
- Whip the cream in a bowl to soft peaks. Then whip the cream cheese in a separate bowl. Make sure it's at room temperature.
- Add in the peanut butter, vanilla extract and sweetener to the cream cheese and mix it all well. Then add in the whipped cream and fold it in using a spatula. Taste for sweetness.
- Then pour the filling over the base once it's set and let it cool for at least 6 hours in the fridge or overnight. If you plan to keep it overnight then wrap the top in cling film.
- Chop the chocolate into small pieces and place in a bowl. In a saucepan heat 100ml of cream to a simmer and pour over the chocolate.
- Mix it all well till you get a nice smooth ganache. Add stevia or sweetener of choice and sweeten to taste.
- Allow the ganache to cool before pouring over the set cheesecake.
- Let it cool for at least 1-2 hours in the fridge before serving.
- To pop the spring form tin take a kitchen towel and wet it. Squeeze all the water out and microwave it for 20 seconds. Then wrap the cake tin in that towel for a few seconds and then release the spring form tin.
- To cut slices dip your knife in hot water, wipe it clean and slice. Then dip again in hot water, wipe clean and make the second cut.
- Serve!
My No-Bake Peanut Butter Keto Cheesecake Adventure
As a busy working mom, finding time to bake elaborate desserts is a luxury I rarely afford myself. However, the craving for something sweet and decadent always seems to strike at the most inconvenient times. That's where this No-Bake Peanut Butter Keto Cheesecake comes in – a lifesaver, really! It satisfies my sweet tooth without sacrificing my time or my commitment to a healthier lifestyle. The best part? It’s incredibly easy to make, requiring minimal cooking and even less cleanup. Perfect for a weeknight treat or a sophisticated dessert for a weekend gathering.
The initial appeal was, of course, the "keto" aspect. Balancing work, family, and a healthy diet is a constant juggling act, and a keto-friendly dessert helps me maintain my goals without feeling deprived. I’ve always been a peanut butter enthusiast, and this recipe expertly blends the rich, creamy flavor of peanut butter with the tangy coolness of cheesecake. The no-bake element is a huge win; no oven preheating, no watching the clock – just simple mixing and chilling. The process is so straightforward that even my kids could help (with supervision, of course!).
I love how versatile this recipe is. I've experimented with different types of peanut butter – crunchy for added texture, or smooth for a creamier consistency. The chocolate ganache adds a luxurious touch, but you can easily adapt it to suit your preferences. Want a different topping? Go for it! A sprinkle of chopped nuts, a drizzle of sugar-free caramel, even a few fresh berries could add a unique flair. The possibilities are endless!
One unexpected benefit of this recipe was the bonding time it provided. On a busy Saturday afternoon, my daughter and I spent a couple of hours creating this delicious dessert together.

Beyond the convenience and taste, the adaptability of this recipe makes it a real winner. I've already shared it with friends and family, and they've each put their own personal spin on it. One friend used dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate, another added a layer of raspberry jam for an extra burst of flavor. Seeing how others adapt and enjoy it is truly rewarding, and it reinforces the fact that even the simplest recipes can offer endless possibilities for creativity and culinary exploration. So, give this recipe a try – you might be surprised how much you love it.
