This Keto Raspberry Cheesecake with Coconut Macaroon Crust is brought to you by Angela from Divalicious Recipes for our IBIH guest post this week! I love everything about this gorgeous keto cheesecake – that golden coconut crust and creamy luscious filling are calling my name! As soon as I can score some fresh raspberries here in Belize I’m all over this one!!! Thanks Angela!!!
What a delight it was to receive an invite from Mellissa to share a recipe with you all! As well as constantly drooling over her low carb recipes and tempting photos, I was delighted to see that she had joined us island girls when she moved to Belize as I too, live on an island.
I am currently living in Aruba but will be moving to the British Virgin Islands soon. We may have beautiful beaches and sunsets, but sourcing low carb ingredients can be a challenge and involve a long drive around the island. With a few choice words at the prices too!
I created DivaliciousRecipes.com back in 2011 when I lived in Dubai and had started to follow a healthier low carb lifestyle, to combat the life of excess we had been partaking in. My obsession with cauliflower and coconut flour might need professional help and therapy, but I thoroughly enjoy trying to recreate a healthier low carb recipe as an alternative to high carb and sugar laden junk food.
This Keto Raspberry Cheesecake with a Coconut Macaroon Crust is a great centre piece and is very easy to make too. There is nothing better than a keto cheesecake recipe that looks like you made an effort, but in reality, did not break you out in a sweat!
Desiccated coconut makes a perfect low carb crust for this keto cheesecake, as well as a great flavour combination along with the lemon and raspberries.
I’ve made this keto raspberry cheesecake with blueberries too, but strawberries would be just as delicious if you don’t have raspberries to hand.
Gently apply the coconut oil to the inside of a springform cake tin. Line the bottom with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F degrees. In a bowl, mix the desiccated coconut, butter, egg whites and sweetener together.
Spoon the mixture into the cake tin and with clean wet hands, press the coconut mixture around the sides and bottom until the whole tin is covered. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until slightly golden and firm. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
For the filling, beat the cream cheese until soft and then stir in the sweetener (I prefer erythritol but will use xylitol if it’s in the shops), lemon zest and juice. In another bowl whip the cream into stiff peaks, then fold into the cream cheese mixture.
Add the raspberries and gently stir, being careful not to break them up too much. Spoon the filling into the coconut case and place in the fridge to chill for at least 4 hours or overnight. Remove from the springform tin carefully and decorate your keto cheesecake with raspberries – slice, eat and enjoy!

It would be ok to leave out the lemon zest and juice, wouldn’t it? A family member isn’t a fan of lemon!
Julie says
I want to use this with a NY Style cheesecake that has to bake. what kind of adjustments would you recommend?
Mellissa Sevigny says
I recommend trying a completely different recipe. Maybe start with a NY style cheesecake and just sub in the coconut crust and add raspberries on top? ?♀️
jonni says
Your Keto Raspberry Cheesecake with Coconut Crust is the bomb!! The absolute favourite special dessert in THIS household. Thank you!
Pauline says
I made this for my birthday and it was really good! I used allulose as my sweetener and guests commented that they liked the fact that it wasn’t overly sweet. I think it could have used just a hint more sweetener but that’s just personal preference. Also the consistency was not like that of a typical cheesecake- is it supposed to be? I do not have experiend whipping cream so I’m wondering if I didn’t whip it long enough. Nevertheless I would gladly make it again. It was easy and delicious! Thank you.
Amy White says
This is by far one of my favorite party desserts! Delicious and fancy looking ; )
Sarah Spork says
This is such an indulgent dessert! I absolutely love it. I have made it three times for special occasions and everyone raves about it. I do cut the sweetener by half.
Sherry Diedrich says
This recipe had me at raspberry! I made this for a baby shower and again for a family dinner. It was a huge hit and no one knew it was keto! The coconut crust is a little bonus because it reminds me of a coconut macaroon! This will definitely be one of my “go to” desserts this summer.
Angela says
This added up to more than 4 net carbs!! I got 10 net carbs. That is a big difference. Havent tasted it yet but now im scared to thats half of my carbs for the day!!
Wendy says
Make sure you’re not counting the sugar alcohols. Most bloggers don’t count that because it doesn’t impact blood sugar levels.
Angel says
Did u subtract the fiber from the coconut from the total carbs? Fiber doesn’t count because it’s not absorbed in the bloodstream:)
paula porter says
Be sure to deduct the fiber and sugar. When using erythritol you can subtract 100% the sugar because it’s not absorbed by the body.

I’ve made this twice and will make it again….and again! The first time I did add extra lemon juice to the filling and used a 9″ pan. The second time, I used vanilla instead of lemon juice because my DIL is allegic to citrus…was still great, but prefer the zing of the lemon version. I think I used a 10″ pan for that one, because I was visiting and that’s what they had. Still worked, the filling was just not as high as with the 9″ pan.
Bernadette says
I made this. Turned out just like picture. However, tasted like something was missing. Pretty expensive dish to feed the garbage disposal. A friend suggested recipe may have left out VANILLA??
