How to Make a No-Bake Sugar Free Jello Cheesecake
To make this delicious No-Bake Sugar Free Jello Cheesecake, you use a food processor, ground the pecans until very fine. Then in a frying pan over medium heat, brown the ground pecans with the almond flour. Stir continuously until aromatic, approx. 4-5 minutes.
Remove from the heat and add the sweetener and melted butter. Mix until combined. Line a springform pan with parchment or wax paper (tin foil or plastic wrap will work too) Then press the nut mixture into the bottom of the pan. Place the prepared crust in the fridge while the cheesecake is prepared.
Then in a large mixing bowl, whip the whipping cream and 1/4 cup of the cream cheese, until stiff. Next, use a saucepan over high heat to bring the water to a boil. Add the jello packets and stir until dissolved.
In a blender, mix the jello with 1/2 cup cream cheese. Mix until smooth. Then slowly mix the jello mixture into the whipped cream using a mixer. Mix until thoroughly combined. Pour the jello cheesecake over the prepared crust, then refrigerate for 1 hour.
WHAT IS THE KETOGENIC DIET?
The ketogenic diet (often called keto) is a very low-carb, high-fat diet that shares similarities to paleo, Whole30, and Atkins. It involves drastically reducing carbohydrate intake, and replacing it with fat. When in ketosis, your body switches to burning fat for its primary fuel source.
On Keto, you’re supposed to get at least 70 percent of your calories from Fat, 15 to 25 percent from Protein, and 10 percent from Carbohydrates. You should avoid all grains, legumes, root vegetables, fruit, (except berries) and sugar.
WHAT IS DIRTY KETO AND WHAT IS CLEAN KETO?
Dirty keto means sticking to keto macros, but without emphasizing on whole foods in particular. This is essentially the same thing as the “If it fits your macros” approach. This means that your 20 g net carbs could come from anything. People who are doing dirty keto tend to have things like diet soda and sugar free Jello.
If you’re Clean Keto, it means you generally only consume food with natural ingredients. Both people on Dirty and on Clean Keto try to stick to 20 g net carbs a day.

Recipe Notes:
- I used Two 11.2 g packages of Sugar Free Cherry Jello.
- The pecans can be crushed in a ziplock bag, if you don’t have a food processor. Using a heavy cup or rolling pin will help get it extra fine.
- The Cheesecake will work without a crust. You can skip the crust altogether and put the cheesecake filling into small glasses or bowls or you can use a springform pan or pie dish lined with waxed paper.
- If using a single serving blender to blend the jello, you may need to let to liquid cool a little bit before blending or use the vent if your blender has one. A smaller blender is at risk for over heating if the liquid is too hot. Blending while hot didn’t seem to bother my larger 12 cup blender.
- The jello and cream cheese can be blended with a mixer instead of a blender. Use a large bowl if possible because it gets messy.
- The Sugar Free Jello can be replaced with 2 boxes of non sugar free Jello.
- You can use store bought low carb whipped cream if you prefer. Use 2 cups prepared whipped cream in place of the 1 1/2 cup of Whipping Cream and 1/4 cup of Cream Cheese.
- Putting the Cheesecake in the freezer instead of the fridge will speed up the set time. 15 – 20 minutes in the freezer should be enough.
- Making the cheesecake in single serve portions will help it set faster also.
- Use 1 Tbsp of granulated sweetener in place of the swerve if needed.
- This recipe makes 10 Slices of No-Bake Sugar Free Jello Cheesecake.

What size jello packets do you use?
officially gluten free
I used Two 11.2 g packages of Sugar Free Cherry Jello
Lisa
What size springform pan for this recipe? Only recently did I realize there are different sizes!
officially gluten free
Hi Lisa, I used a 9″ springform pan but an 8″ or 10″ pan would also work well.

Heidi
Hi! Can’t wait to try this! This may seem silly, but when you say “whipping cream” what do you use exactly? Heavy whipping cream? The tub of whipped cream you get in the freezer section? And what brand?
officially gluten free
Hi Heidi, Yes I do mean heavy whipping cream. They don’t sell a pre made sugar free whipped cream here in Canada, so we have to make our own. I believe that there’s a sugar free version of cool whip available in the states, which should be the one you get in the freezer section. That one would definitely work.
Hope that helps.

anne
Can Cool Whip be used instead of whipping real cream? Would lighten the load but not sure about the taste and consistency.
officially gluten free
Hi Anne, yes you can use cool whip instead of the whipping cream. We don’t have sugar free cool whip here in Canada, so I have never tried it but I do think it would work.

Made this last week… It worked perfectly and looked just like the photos, (beautiful) but both my hubby and I decided these flavors don’t fit well together. (I used cherry jello.) Each part, the pie and the crust, were fantastic on their own, but we didn’t like them together. Kinda like pickles and chocolate. They’re both yummy, but not together. 🙂 The crust was exceptional – I cannot wait to put it underneath my classically flavored no bake cheesecake. I can’t get over how delicious it was. Seriously the best low carb crust I’ve tasted yet. And the filling will be great in parfait glasses, topped with some whip cream. or maybe even layered with chunks of jello. Anyway – thank you for sharing this recipe!
Michelle
Yum! Be prepared to get out several appliances while making this but it doesn’t take too long overall. Crust is really good. Approved by the whole family.
Stephanie
Made this last night using sugar free strawberry Jell-O and it was so nice to feel like I was indulging. Since going low carb I have not tried too many desserts and this is definitely a keeper! The only change I made was using less sweetener in the crust. I used about a half a tablespoon of Splenda and for me it was a bit too sweet. I’m still learning about different types of sweeteners and I’ll be trying swerve so maybe that would make a difference
Jean Yee
Hi, The Jell-o I have here is Net Wt. is 0.6 oz and 0.3 oz.. Which one do I use? Thanks
officially gluten free
Hi Jean Yee, the sugar free jello we have here in Canada is 11.2 grams which converts to approximately 0.4 oz. So I would say either would work fine.
Hope that helps.

Brian Jones
What a fin simple sounding recipe, a fantastic colour too… Looking forward to trying this.
Chris Collins
What a gorgeous looking cheesecake! Can’t wait to give it a go!
Dianne Ewins
Do you cool the Jello before you mix it with the cream cheese?
officially gluten free
Nope, I put it in the blender hot.
Lorraine Scott
Hi there is aspertame a concern with the keto diet. I have not found a sugar free jello without it.
officially gluten free
Hi Lorraine, sugar free jello isn’t strict Keto. However aspartame doesn’t spike your blood sugar, so some people (who consider themselves dirty Keto) will still eat it. There are some natural Keto jello recipes on the internet that use unflavoured gelatine and stevia, if you’d prefer to make your own. Hope that helps.

Ghislaine Choquette
Where can i find the sugar free jello please?
Thank you!
officially gluten free
Most grocery stores have it in baking isle.
P Sh
Great recipe! Do you think I can use your same recipe with the only exception the grass fed natural gelatin? Or did you think I would need an entirely new recipe from internet?
officially gluten free
Thanks!! Yes I do think grass fed natural gelatine would work well.
Sue
Can I use Walnuts or almonds in place of Pecans?
officially gluten free
Yes, you can.
Annette Martinez
Do you make jello per package directions? USA says 1 cup hot and 1 cup cold water for each box. My package is 0.30oz.
officially gluten free
Nope, I didn’t add the cold water. I just used 1 cup of boiling water.
Sue
I have made 3 and loved them, but I don’t seem to be able to blend the cream cheese with the whipping cream very well, could you put all the cream cheese with the jello in the blender?
officially gluten free
Hi Sue, yup you can just add all the cream cheese with the Jello in the blender.
Mel
I made this with one small pack of SF lime jello. Added some blueberries on top to serve. Everyone loved it. Had no idea it was sugar-free. I tried raspberry too. Also good. But love the lime. As close to Key Lime pie as you can on keto. lol
Suzanne
This looks so good! What a great way to enjoy a treat while staying away from sugar!
Vanessa
Thanks for sharing! Do you use this crust for any other recipes?
Blue7932
I’ve been making this recipe since 1980. The only difference was that my original recipe called for lemon sugar free gelatin. I usually butter a glass baking dish, to eliminate the crust.As long as you’ve got it buttered well it comes out easily. Thank you for the memories!
