With a creamy texture and sweet-tart raspberry flavor, these keto raspberry cheesecake bars are a must-try. They’re easy to make and perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth without derailing your low carb diet.
These keto raspberry cheesecake bars are the perfect marriage of tangy fruit and creamy goodness.
Cheesecake has been a crowd-pleaser for centuries, with its rich, creamy texture and decadent flavor. If you’re on the keto diet or even just watching your carb intake, you’ll be happy to know that it’s still possible to enjoy this classic dessert without sacrificing your health and wellness goals.
Hear me out – while cheesecake may not seem like the healthiest low carb dessert option out there, it does contain calcium, protein, and healthy fats when made with the right ingredients.
And unlike traditional cheesecake recipes that use graham crackers and sugar, this low carb raspberry cheesecake is made with keto-friendly ingredients that won’t spike your blood sugar levels.
Plus, raspberries are a great source of antioxidants and fiber, making them a healthy addition to this dessert – it’s a win/win for sure!
Interesting facts about cheesecake:
- Cheesecake dates back to Ancient Greece, where it was served to athletes to give them energy during the first Olympic games in 776 BC.
- In the United States, National Cheesecake Day is celebrated on July 30th.
- The largest cheesecake ever made weighed over 6,900 pounds and was created in New York in 2014.
There – now you can impress your friends with cheesecake trivia when you serve them these keto raspberry cheesecake bars. 🙌🏻 😂
These keto raspberry cheesecake bars can be made into a larger cheesecake but I don’t recommend it. While a giant cheesecake is impressive, it’s not always the most practical option. By making these keto raspberry cheesecake bars instead, you can have the same delicious flavor without worrying about portion control or overindulging.
They also cook and chill a lot faster than a full scale cheesecake, AND they’re easier to serve and store for later.
If you do need a larger keto cheesecake, try this Keto Raspberry Cheesecake with Coconut Crust that was a guest post from Divalicious Recipes and gets rave reviews by everyone who tries it!

Another super spectacular, easy to follow recipe from Melissa, thank you so much!!
My friend makes a good non Keto carrot cake. She was bring that to a dinner party we were having, I made these and did not feel the least bit sorry for myself, just as other reviewers have shared, the non Keto peeps also loved these.

Perfect recipe. Easy to make, excellent ingredients and wonderful tastes. Enjoyed by low carbers and non-low carbers. I make lots of your recipes and they are always clear to understand and excellent to eat! Thank you for your work.
Colleen says
Love this. I’ll be making it often. Even my non-Keto family members are all over it. Delish. Thanks.
Kim says
Amazing!! I love the crust soooo much :)
Lesley says
I made these bars with strawberries, sooooo good, loved the crust. I even froze some of the tray for a later date. I ordered your Keto for Life book yesterday, I just got notification it was delivered! (I am in Canada)
Excited to read that. I am also on day 4 of your 7 day Egg fast. The first day was tough of course, I was hangry towards the end of the day. All in all not too bad at all. (Going to Mexico next month so need to drop some more pounds pronto) I have been eating lazy Keto since September 4th. Got a ways to go!
I really enjoy your sense of humor and easy to follow, easy to find ingredients.
Keep up the GREAT work Mellissa!! :)
Suzanne says
Delicious! Made exactly as recipe stated. Everyone loved it, even non-Keto eaters.
Mellissa Sevigny says
MFP is notoriously wrong so I don’t use it. I calculate each ingredient individually using calorie king and do the math myself for accuracy – I’m confident in my numbers. That being said, Erythritol from Swerve has no calories or impact on blood sugar and is not included in my net carb calculation.
Hillary says
LOVE LOVE LOVE this recipe!
Stephanie Hirsch says
This was awesome! Maybe even a little too sweet for me, but my girls loved it (they didn’t realize it was sugar free, lol). I could definitely share this dessert with my non-keto friends!
