What can I substitute for sugar in cheesecake? ›

Other sugar substitutes will work if that's what you have.

Unlike the filling (below), the almond flour cheesecake crust is not finicky and will also work using erythritol, xylitol, or an erythritol blend (most brands of monk fruit or stevia are actually blended with erythritol).

You can eat fruit like cherries on a ketogenic diet if you limit your portion sizes. One cup of sweet cherries contains 21 grams of net carbs, most of which come from natural sugars.

For every cup of sugar, you can replace it with a 1/2 cup to 2/3 cup of honey or 2/3 cup agave. If using maple syrup or molasses, 3/4 cup to 1 cup will do the trick.

Stevia, monk fruit, certain sugar alcohols, and allulose are much lower in calories than table sugar and do not significantly affect blood sugar levels, making them a smart alternative to refined sugar.

Philadelphia is one of the best brands of keto-friendly cream cheese. A 2-tablespoon serving of Philadelphia cream cheese contains 102 calories, 10 grams of fat, 1.8 grams of protein, and only 1.6 grams of carbohydrates. It's recommended to opt for plain or full-fat Philadelphia cream cheese for the keto diet.

Net carbs are calculated by taking the total grams of carbohydrate in a food and subtracting the amount of fiber. In this case, popcorn contains 6 grams of carbs per 1 cup serving and 1.2 grams of fiber, bringing the net carbs per serving to 4.8 grams. Yes friends, popcorn is indeed a keto food.

What about dessert? Unfortunately, all of the desserts at The Cheesecake Factory are too high in carbs for a low carb or keto diet, including the “low-licious” cheesecake.

I love using brown sugar in my graham cracker crust for an extra note of flavor. Powdered sugar in the filling blends beautifully while also encouraging a firm, fully-set texture. Heavy cream.

Caster sugar will work as well. Pretty much any sugar can be used. I recommend not using icing sugar/powdered sugar though. A lot of no-bake cheesecakes use this, but I don't know, it's always caused issues for me so I don't recommend using icing sugar for this recipe.

Sweeteners from the stevia plant

A relatively new group of non-nutritive sweeteners include naturally sourced, calorie-free sweeteners made from the stevia plant, eg Truvia and Stevia. They are 200–300 times sweeter than sucrose (sugar) and are heat stable, so can be used in cooking and baking.
