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??? ;)

Nicole says
I have a question, How do I get the sugar free syrup and butter to mix? The syrup is water based and won’t combine with the butter?
Michelle says
What is the size of the cupcake pan? Is a mini-pan or a regular sized cupcake pan?
Stepoop says
Can I use regular black coffee in place of the concentrate/espresso?
Mellissa Sevigny says
You won’t get the same coffee flavor but sure.
Lillian Newcomb says
made these about two hours ago and OMG they are so good I wanted to cry. Thank you for a wonderful treat.
Tory says
Would these keep in the fridge? Freezer?
Mellissa Sevigny says
Fridge – yes, freezer – not sure…
Stacey says
Made these and shared with some keto friends and they were amazing! So simple to make. Didn’t have any caramel syrup so substituted SF Maple and it worked beautifully. Only issue was the topping. It was 32C that day so it wouldn’t come together very well. Spooned it on and tasted delicious.
Julie says
I’m not a carmel girl but am thinking about substituting with torani sugar free chocolate syrup for a mocha flavor.
Carolyn says
I used sugar fee maple syrup and it was super yummy
Amy S says
Has anyone tried freezing these?
Direbunny says
Holy knock my socks off batman.
Delicious. Just delicious.
We did deviate from the recipe in only one respect: We used the Torani Sugar Free Salted Caramel instead of the Torani Sugar Free Caramel, because that’s what the store had. Also, we stuck with Swerve for our granulated sweetener (we have a supertaster in the house who detests the taste of Splenda).
We did have an issue with creaming the butter, syrup and swerve. Adding the mascarpone made it possible for my stand mixer to incorporate the ingredients though so it all ended up well.
Mellissa Sevigny says
So glad you guys liked it! I’m a Swerve convert myself now, especially in baked goods!!!
Dian Curry says
I made this over the weekend with a caramel chai tea that I cold brewed for 36 hours. Fantastic! My best friend’s kids had so much fun helping me make it and they loved it just as much as I did.
