A tray of keto no-bake blueberry cheesecake bars with a nutty crust, creamy cheesecake layer, and glossy blueberry topping, cut into neat squares with a few blueberries scattered around.
These Keto No-Bake Blueberry Cheesecake Bars are creamy, sweet-tart, and shockingly easy. You get a nutty crust, a thick cheesecake layer, and a bright blueberry topping—all without turning on the oven.
The secret to clean bars is simple: chill long enough, and use a thick, well-mixed filling so it sets firm. A little powdered sweetener (keto-friendly) keeps the cheesecake smooth without graininess, and a quick blueberry topping gives that bakery-style look.
If you want a low carb & creamy dessert that still feels like a treat, these keto no-bake blueberry cheesecake bars are a total fan-favorite.

Ingredients for Keto No-Bake Blueberry Cheesecake Bars
Crust
- Almond flour (1 1/2 cups). Nutty base; finely ground gives the best texture.
- Unsalted butter (5 tablespoons, melted). Helps crust hold together.
- Powdered keto sweetener (2 tablespoons). Sweetens smoothly.
- Pinch of salt. Balances sweetness.
Cheesecake Filling
- Cream cheese (16 oz, softened). Creamy base; softened prevents lumps.
- Plain Greek yogurt (1/2 cup). Adds tang and helps lighten; sour cream works too.
- Powdered keto sweetener (1/2 cup). Smooth sweetness without graininess.
- Vanilla extract (2 teaspoons). Classic cheesecake flavor.
- Lemon juice (1 tablespoon). Brightens the filling.
- Heavy cream (3/4 cup, cold). Whips and makes the filling fluffy and sliceable.
Blueberry Topping
- Blueberries (2 cups, fresh or frozen). Frozen works great for a thick sauce.
- Powdered keto sweetener (2–3 tablespoons). Sweeten to taste.
- Lemon juice (1 teaspoon). Keeps it bright.
- Chia seeds (1 tablespoon). Thickens the topping without cornstarch.
Helpful note: Powdered sweetener blends smoother than granulated, which can feel gritty in no-bake fillings.

- 1. Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang.

Tips for Perfect Keto No-Bake Blueberry Cheesecake Bars
