These keto egg fast caramel cheesecakes are easy, delicious, and can be made with just a few simple ingredients!! Even if you aren’t on the IBIH egg fast, you’re going to want to give these a try!
My inspiration for these keto egg fast caramel cheesecakes was some Cold Brew Coffee Concentrate that I got at Trader Joe’s recently. I was really excited to come home and try it in my bulletproof coffee, but was sorely disappointed when I really disliked the flavor.
It was too acidic for my taste and I couldn’t even finish the cup – I tossed it and made a fresh one using my regular coffee.
But now I have a full jug of coffee concentrate in my fridge, and I need a way to use it up so it won’t go to waste! Enter this bulletproof keto cheesecake!
The coffee concentrate works perfectly for this – and I suspect it would make amazing ice cream as well by the way! If you don’t have any concentrate, you can just use some really strong coffee in the cheesecake batter instead.
To make these keto caramel macchiato cheesecakes egg fast friendly, I used more eggs to cream cheese than I would normally for a cheesecake – though still not enough to make it a one to one ratio.
The result was nice and light, with a distinct coffee flavor.
I also added a little sugar free caramel syrup to the batter, and lots to the frosting, giving this a caramel machiatto vibe. SO. DELICIOUS.
Now I’m reading your mind here and I know you’re thinking “I’m going to make a ton of these keto egg fast caramel cheesecakes and eat them 24/7 for the next 3 days. “
Egg Fast Menu Complete. 🙌🏻
And it’s not actually a bad idea. But technically these alone wouldn’t be strictly egg fast fare because there is more cream cheese than eggs in here.
Still – they are pretty fat fast friendly, so you’d probably lose weight – maybe lots of it! I may try it myself – you know…for science!
If you do the “keto cheesecake fast” be sure to tell us your results – I’m dying to know what would happen! Actually I really might need to make a cheesecake fast a thing…. 🤔
Even if these are a little heavy on the cream cheese vs. the eggs, they are the perfect snack or meal replacement on your regular egg fast – just eat more eggs and less cheese for the rest of your meals that day.

So I thought you guys might get a kick out of this – I was done taking photos and turned to put my camera away when the posterboard I was using as a reflector fell over and landed right on top of my cheesecakes, squishing the frosting flat.
When I lifted the board in horror, one of the cheesecakes was stuck to it and stayed suspended on the board long enough for me to shoot this photo.
Then it fell on the table. So I ate it of course – because that’s how I roll. I DID wipe the frosting from the board and table with a clean cloth like a responsible adult, rather than licking it all off like I wanted to – I get points for that right??? ;)

Deb says
Taste is unbelievably good. I made as directed, (I used 3 tbsp espresso powder and added enough water to make 3 tbsp liquid) took them out the oven at 16 minutes while they were still jiggly in the center. The crown dropped just slightly, so they ended up perfectly flat when completely cool. My frosting did break- I think because I beat too long, even though slowly. Tried the cream cheese trick but that didn’t really work but it still tastes awesome. Will be making again for sure.

Amazing! Mine did sink in the middle but I’m not in it for the looks. Nice creamy yumminess! Just enough sweetness. I inhaled the first one. Enjoyed it more the second time the next day. Lol
Bennie says
I read all the reviews. It does really say what I may substitute for coffee.
Pls help. We just don’t drink coffee
By the way ur Awsome Mellissa. Thx for ur kindness
Mellissa Sevigny says
You can skip the coffee and just use 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Leslie Preston says
Very delicious! Mine cratered in the center, but I considered that a feature because more of the frosting could be piled up! Thank you for another great, reliable recipe!
