If you’ve been missing desserts since switching to keto, this one’s going to make you smile like you just found money in an old coat pocket. It’s sweet without the sugar, creamy without the guilt, and it’s cold so it feels more like a treat than a compromise. Think of it as cheesecake’s fun, summery cousin who shows up to the party already wearing sunglasses.
Keto chilled cheesecake fruit pizza is a low-carb dessert that’s so good, you might start making excuses to “check the fridge” just so you can sneak another bite. We’re talking about a nutty, buttery crust, a smooth cheesecake filling, and a topping of fresh, low-sugar fruit. And no, you don’t need to bake it, fuss over it, or use fancy ingredients you can’t pronounce.
I’ve been making versions of this recipe for family BBQs, Sunday afternoons, and even as a make-ahead dessert when friends come over. It’s easy to slice, doesn’t melt into a puddle like ice cream, and you can adjust it to fit whatever low-carb fruits you have on hand.
Why This Cheesecake Fruit Pizza for Keto
Traditional fruit pizza is usually made with a sugar cookie crust, sweetened cream cheese, and fruit that sends your carbs through the roof. Here, we flip it:
- Low-carb crust – Almond flour instead of white flour.
- Sugar-free sweetener – Your choice of keto-friendly sweetener keeps the carbs down.
- Low-sugar fruit – Think berries, kiwi, or even a touch of citrus.
That means each slice won’t knock you out of ketosis, even if you go back for seconds (which you probably will).
Ingredients You’ll Need
This recipe makes a 12-inch round pizza and serves about 8 slices. You can adjust the size and ingredients based on your crowd (or your appetite).
For the crust:
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 3 tablespoons keto sweetener (erythritol, monk fruit, or allulose)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
For the cheesecake layer:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/3 cup powdered keto sweetener
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the fruit topping:
- 1/2 cup sliced strawberries
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 1/2 cup raspberries
- Optional: kiwi slices, blackberries, or a sprinkle of unsweetened shredded coconut
Step-by-Step Instructions for Keto Chilled Cheesecake Fruit Pizza
1) Make the crust
In a mixing bowl, stir almond flour, sweetener, melted butter, vanilla, and a pinch of salt until it turns into a crumbly dough.
Press the mixture firmly into the base of a 12-inch pizza pan or tart pan lined with parchment paper. Use the back of a spoon or a flat measuring cup to press it evenly so it holds together.
Pop it into the fridge for at least 20–30 minutes to firm up. You can also freeze it for 10 minutes if you’re impatient like me.
2) Prepare the cheesecake filling
In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sweetener and vanilla, and mix again.
Pour in the heavy cream and whip until it becomes thick, fluffy, and spreadable. If it feels too loose, whip it a little longer until it stiffens.
3) Assemble
Once the crust is firm, spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the top, right to the edges. This is your “sauce” layer.
4) Add the fruit
Arrange your fruit in circles, patterns, or just scatter it randomly—either way, it’ll look gorgeous. I usually start with strawberry slices around the edge, then blueberries, then raspberries toward the center. If you’re using kiwi, add it in small wedges between berries for a pop of green.
5) Chill and serve
Cover the pizza lightly with plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour before slicing. This lets the flavors blend and makes the slices hold their shape better.
Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice into wedges, and serve cold.
Tips That Make a Difference
- Use powdered sweetener for the filling – Granulated sweetener can make it gritty.
- Don’t skip chilling the crust – If it’s soft, the filling will mash into it and you’ll have a mess.
- Pat fruit dry before adding – Excess juice can make the filling watery.
- Play with flavors – Add lemon zest to the filling or a pinch of cinnamon to the crust.
Variations
One of the best things about this recipe is how easy it is to tweak:
- Chocolate crust – Add 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder to the crust mix.
- Tropical style – Use kiwi, unsweetened coconut flakes, and a touch of lime zest.
- Mini pizzas – Press crust into muffin tins for personal-sized cheesecakes.
- Nut-free option – Swap almond flour for sunflower seed flour.
Storing Leftovers
This dessert is best eaten within 2 days because fresh fruit doesn’t last forever, but you can keep it in the fridge covered for up to 3 days.
If you want to make it ahead, prepare the crust and cheesecake layer, but wait to add the fruit until the day you serve it.
Carb Count Breakdown (per slice, based on 8 slices)
- Almond flour crust: ~2g net carbs
- Cheesecake layer: ~1g net carbs
- Fruit topping: ~2–3g net carbs depending on the fruit mix
So you’re looking at roughly 5–6g net carbs per slice. Not bad for something that feels like cheating.
My First Time Making It
The first time I made a keto chilled cheesecake fruit pizza, I was convinced my kids wouldn’t touch it. I didn’t even tell them it was “keto” because I didn’t want to hear the “ew” before they tasted it. I just put it on the table after dinner.
Five minutes later, there were crumbs and fruit stains left, and my youngest was asking if there was more. That’s when I knew this was going in the permanent recipe binder.
Make It Look Picture Ready
If you’re posting this on Pinterest or Instagram, presentation matters. Arrange your fruit in concentric circles, alternate colors, or make a “sunburst” pattern. Glossy fruit looks amazing, just brush the berries with a touch of warmed sugar-free jam to give them shine.
What to do if it goes Wrong
- Crust falls apart? You probably didn’t chill it long enough or didn’t press it firmly.
- Filling too runny? Whip the cream longer before adding it to the cream cheese.
- Fruit sinking into filling? Chill the cheesecake layer before adding fruit so it holds up better.
Can You Freeze It?
Yes and no. The crust and cheesecake layer freeze well, but fresh fruit gets mushy after thawing. If you want to freeze it, do so without the fruit, then add fresh fruit after thawing.
Serving Ideas
- After a BBQ, alongside iced tea or coffee.
- As a birthday cake alternative for someone on keto.
- Cut into bite-sized squares for a dessert platter.
Conclusion
This keto chilled cheesecake fruit pizza hits that sweet spot between dessert and snack. It’s light enough for summer but still satisfying for anyone who misses cheesecake on keto. The best part? No oven, no complicated steps, and no awkward “diet dessert” taste.
If you’ve been hunting for something that feels normal but fits your low-carb life, this is worth making—then making again next week.
