Ever feel like your name deserves more recognition? Well, imagine being a horse named Snickers… and somehow ending up the inspiration for one of the world’s most popular candy bars!
Yep, Snickers the horse became a dessert icon. Fast forward a few decades, and now we’re giving that legacy a keto twist with this Keto Snickers Cheesecake. Honestly, if Snickers could see this, it’d probably demand a taste—too bad for the horse, but lucky for us!
Here’s a fun little secret: this cheesecake isn’t just indulgent—it’s sneaky-smart. When your body’s in ketosis, it produces compounds that naturally curb your appetite. So while you’re enjoying that creamy, caramel-drizzled slice, your body’s like, “Thanks for keeping it keto!” It’s the perfect guilt-free win. Science-backed dessert? Yes, please.
Let’s take a moment to laugh at life’s ironies. A horse named Snickers inspired candy bars, and now, a keto cheesecake. If that horse could see this, it’d probably say, “Seriously? I did all that galloping for this?” Sorry, Snickers, but we’re the lucky ones enjoying this guilt-free treat. And trust me—this cheesecake is the ultimate dessert glow-up!
Let’s break down why this Keto Snickers Cheesecake is a must-try dessert for anyone living that low-carb life:
See? This dessert is more than just keto-friendly—it’s life-friendly!

Now go ahead and dazzle your taste buds and your guests—they’re going to love every bite!
Absolutely! If you're avoiding nuts, this Keto Snickers Cheesecake can easily be adapted. Swap the almond flour in the crust for sunflower seed flour, which keeps the texture and carb count in check. For toppings, replace peanuts with roasted pumpkin or sunflower seeds to maintain that satisfying crunch without using nuts.
To keep your cheesecake fresh and flavorful, refrigerate it in an airtight container for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze individual slices by wrapping them tightly in plastic wrap and placing them in a freezer-safe container. When you're ready to enjoy, simply thaw the slices in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
Yes! Making this cheesecake dairy-free is straightforward. Use a dairy-free cream cheese alternative (such as those made from coconut or soy) in place of regular cream cheese. Swap the heavy cream for full-fat canned coconut milk or coconut cream. These substitutions will still give you a rich, creamy, and indulgent dessert.
Certainly! A no-bake version is a fantastic option. For the crust, mix almond flour (or sunflower seed flour for nut-free) with melted butter and a keto-friendly sweetener, then press it into the pan and refrigerate until firm. Assemble the filling as usual, pour it over the chilled crust, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours until it sets perfectly. No oven required!
Yes, you can use a regular cake pan with a little preparation. Line the pan with parchment paper, leaving enough overhang to lift the cheesecake out once it's set. Chill the cheesecake thoroughly before removing it from the pan to maintain its shape. This simple hack ensures clean edges and easy serving, even without a springform pan.
This Keto Snickers Cheesecake recipe is ideal for satisfying sweet cravings without the sugar crash. By replacing traditional crusts with almond flour and swapping sugary ingredients for keto-friendly sweeteners, this dessert keeps carbs to a minimum while delivering indulgent flavors.
