This easy, keto strawberry cheesecake pie is a frozen delight made sugar free, nut free, gluten free and low carb!
WHAT IS A FROZEN CHEESECAKE PIE ?
A keto frozen cheesecake pie is a cross between a creamy ice cream and a decadent cheesecake! It's the ultimate in keto desserts that taste sinful, but it's anything but! It's sugar free, low carb, gluten free, and guilt free!
Swap out any delicious berry you like if you're not a fan of strawberries.If you need a non- frozen type pie, but one just as easy to make, this Strawberry Mousse Pie is pretty awesome ,as is this Peanut Butter Cheesecake Pie!
EASY NO BAKE SUGAR FREE KETO PIE
So what makes a really good frozen pie? Is it the fact that no baking is involved? Is it the fact that anything frozen is just a fabulous cool treat? Or is it the fact that you can prepare it ahead of time and bring it to any party and it will be finished off before you can blink? I think it might be ALL of those reasons!
Whatever your ambition for an easy pie, making this will win over anyone to using sugar free substitutes as they will honestly have NO idea since they certainly won't taste any difference.
NUT FREE KETO PIE CRUST
I brought this pie over to my extended families house for Father's Day and what a hit! Since we have nut allergies in our family, the keto nut free crust I came up with has an incredible nutty flavor without added nuts. You could also try my Keto Nut Free Coconut Flour Pie Crust with this frozen cheesecake pie.
No baking is needed for the crust either which is helpful. Just grind in your food processor and spread into the pie dish. Easy peasy pie!
I had only 4 hours of freezing time which was just enough before it was served at my sister in laws. It was out on the deck and with the heat, it was just soft enough to cut through and slice.
HOW TO PREP AHEAD FROZEN CHEESECAKE PIE
If you do prepare it the day before and freeze overnight you will need more time on the counter to defrost before serving. I tried it again and it took a good 30-40 minutes before I could slice through it easily.
Even frozen you can still taste the creamy cheesecake texture! Top with a dollop of more sugar free whipped cream and a strawberry to each slice before serving.
BEST TIPS FOR FROZEN STRAWBERRY PIE
- You don't have to use erythritol in the crust, stevia is fine too or leave out the sweetener all together if you prefer. It won't change the nutritional information.
- You can sub the butter in the crust for coconut oil if you prefer.
- You can replace the strawberries for another berry.
- You could also change the liquid stevia to powdered if that's all you have, here's my Sweetener Guide and Conversion Chart.
- To add some color into the pink filling I sliced 2 more strawberries and inserted them inside the pie so when you cut into it you see a few pieces of strawberries here and there.
- You could swap sunflower seeds with almonds or pecans if you don't have tree nut allergies.

I'm not a dessert lover and almost never make desserts, but I made this and my 4 year old daughter absolutely loves it! I skipped the sweeteners altogether so the only sweetness came from the strawberries, which was really good on its own. I had trouble storing it after the cheesecake came out as a very hard chunk. After defrosting it a little bit I managed to put them in tiny plastic pots which are perfect as my daughter's after dinner treat. Love the recipe! Thanks Sugar Free Mom!
wondering about freezing this in silicon muffin cups and popping them out as individual servings.....
I think that is a great idea!
Wondering whether I could substitute coconut cream for the whipping cream?
I haven't tried that but I think it would work.
What's the difference between the stevia you listed and the Wal-Mart brand?? https://www.walmart.com/ip/Great-Value-Granulated-No-Calorie-Stevia-9.7oz/37415081
Also, the links to the stevia liquid are broken. Does it matter which brand for the liquid as well?
Sorry for all the questions.
Thanks so much for your hard work!
The link doesn't show the ingredients in the stevia so I'm not sure. I can say the links I provided for stevia are not cup for cup in measuring like sugar. So the Walmart brand might be fine but you would not need any of the liquid stevia. Just use a small amount than taste and decide if you need more.
Hi I don't do well with whipped cream could half and half work as a sub or add more cream cheese
I think Half and Half will work.
Another great recipe that I have saved to Pinterest to try at a later date! Yeah!! Can you tell me do you prefer SweetLeaf better or NuNaturals?
I love sweetleaf!
This looks sooo amazing! And those ingredients, whooo! I can't wait to try this out!
Could you sub pecans or walnuts for the sunflower seeds in the crust? How would that change the carb and fiber count?
Yes that would work nicely. You would have to figure that out using my fitness pal or calorie count.
I am new to all of this baking sugar free but I really want to try it, where would be the best place for me to find all of these ingredients? Whole Foods??
For a lower carb net, I will be using full fat cream cheese... don't waste your money on low fat foods.. Low fat always means more carb load. You will also find this keeps you very full, results you eat less. Can't wait to try new crust sounds amazing!
What if you don't have the liquid flavored stevia? would lemon juice and vanilla extract be ok? if so, how much?
You wold still need a sweetener if you don't have stevia.
I made this yesterday to serve today and it froze solid
it has been out on my counter now for 2 hours and it is still to hard to cut????
It will still be hard to cut through the crust but I was able to cut mine after 1 hour on the counter. Mine was in the freezer about 10 hours though.
Darn it, girl. I wish you'd posted this earlier so I could have included it into my round up today! It's gorgeous!
Thanks Carolyn 🙂
I need to try this.
Forgot to add my rating...
Wow! What a perfect pie for 4th of July! Can't wait to try this - we're fine with nuts, so I'll sub my nut crust and add shredded coconut to it, which is s great idea, btw. Thanks for another delicious recipe!
Thanks Louanne, the family really loved the shredded coconut in it so it was a big hit.
i'm new to using these types of recipes (doing lchf for diabetes). i would love to try this but i do not like anything coconut or coconut related. what can i try instead of shredded coconut in crust?
You could use finely chopped nuts instead of shredded coconut.
This looks like the perfect summer pie, such a treat! I love this recipe!
It is, thanks so much!
