Snickers are some of my favorite candies. However, as I’m sure you know, these are little bites of sugar! Since I love cheesecake (and often make sugar-free cheesecakes), I figured I’d merge these two favorites. This Keto Snickers Cheesecake recipe is everything that I imagined!

What’s in Keto Snickers Cheesecake?

Taking inspiration from the candy, this recipe includes a peanut butter cheesecake that sits on a double chocolate chip cookie crust. I topped it with my recipe for Keto Browned Butter Salted Caramel, a chocolate drizzle, and chopped roasted & salted peanuts.

How do you make the crust?

As you may have noticed in my Keto Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake Bites, I’m a fan of using FatSnax cookies for cheesecake crusts. To me, they have just the right amount of flavor & crumble for easy, low carb cheesecake cookie crusts!

To make the crust, I simply add the cookies to my food processor with melted salted butter and keto brown sugar. After creating a crumble, I press the mixture into the bottom of my baking pan. Finally, I pre-bake it in the oven so that it’s sturdy enough to hold the cheesecake mixture. 

What sweetener do you use to keep this a sugar-free cheesecake? 

This recipe includes two main types of sweetener: Keto Brown Sugar & Keto Granular Sugar. Both of these have 0 calories and are all-natural, 0g net carb replacements for sugar.

I get these from Amazon since I have Prime, but you might be able to find these at other health food stores. 

Are you using a water bath to make this cheesecake?

Yes! In this recipe, I’m using a water bath. A water bath creates moisture & steam in the oven and ensures that your cheesecake has a super creamy texture. 

To cook the cheesecake in a water bath, I used two glass baking pans like these that come with lids. One normal 9×13 and another 6×8 glass pan (this is also the pan that has the cheesecake). 

I filled the 9×13 inch halfway with water. Then, I placed the smaller pan inside the larger dish. 

You can omit the water bath if you wish, but I don’t recommend this because:

• It takes little effort to fill a larger pan with water
• If you’re going to make this, why not have it be the creamiest ever!?

What can I use for the toppings?

This Keto Snickers Cheesecake has a few toppings. Some toppings that I used were:

• Roasted & Salted Peanuts

• Chocolate Honest Syrup

• Keto Salted Butter Caramel

Keto Browned Butter Salted Caramel

Do I need to soften the cream cheese?

One of the keys to a great cheesecake is to soften the cream cheese. You can do this quickly by placing your cream cheese in a microwave safe bowl and heating it for 15 seconds. 

The cream cheese should be fully soft (this depends on how wide the bowl is and how much cream cheese you used). If not, then heat it again for another 15 seconds.
