These Keto No Bake Cookie Dough Cheesecake Bars combine two of everyone's absolute favourite desserts.
Cookie dough was that thing that I'd sneak when I was younger. Whenever my Mom would bake cookies, I couldn't help but steal a bite..or two…or three.
Okay let's be real, some of us would rather eat the whole bowl of cookie dough rather than wait until the cookies were made.

Then there is cheesecake..oh cheesecake..that dessert that's so heavy and filling but also smooth, creamy and pretty much absolute perfection in cake form. My Dad and brother request one for their birthday every year.
Now for this recipe, we are really just knocking it out of the park combining these two desserts. This should basically be illegal because it's so seriously good.
And the fact that this recipe is gluten free, low carb AND sugar free will blow everyone's mind who tries it.
Bake this for your non-keto family members, your kids, your neighbours..whoever. Don't tell them it's a keto friendly dessert and I promise they know any different.
The cake itself is a no bake keto cheese cake, meaning you don't even have to go through the long baking process, checking to see if your cheesecake is cooked through or not.
You simply mix it, pour it, pop it in the fridge and you're good to go! Gelatin is the magic ingredient that gives this cake it's structure!
The low carb cookie dough crust is also egg free and only requires you to mix up the ingredients and press it into place.
I actually used my own Kick Kookies Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix for the base of this recipe to speed up the process even further (I did not feel like spending hours in the kitchen today!)
The Kick Kookie Keto Cookie Mix contains a perfect ratio of almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum and few other ingredients to make perfect chocolate chip cookies (or cookie dough) every time. We just skip the egg for this recipe because it's not needed for a no bake dessert.
Ingredients In No Bake Keto Snickerdoodle Cheesecake Bars
- Kick Kookies Keto Cookie Mix– My famous keto cookie mix. This was a hit at the Great Canadian Keto conference last year and I've had so many people try it out and love it! If you like chocolate chip cookies that are soft, chewy, gooey and easy to make, this mix is for you! (See the instagram page highlights for reviews – @kickkookiescanada
- Powdered Monkfruit Erythritol Sweetener – I use the SoNourished brand for both granular and powdered sweetener and love it! The powdered is the best option for no-bake goods and desserts where you want a very smooth final product. But it bakes well in any recipe. **UPDATE** lately I’ve switched over to THIS brand of powdered sweetener because of trouble ordering the first one so you can order whichever is easier for you!
- Gelatin Powder – I actually use the Organika brand most of the time but couldn’t find it on the US Amazon store and seeing as most of my followers are from the states, I would recommend you try this one instead (I’ve also used it before).
Tools I Used To Make Keto No Bake Cookie Dough Cheesecake Bars
- Low Carb Substitution Guide – This is totally optional but if you like my recipes, I now have a $5 guide available with all of the substitutions I use to create every recipe on my site. You can use this to convert old traditional recipes and create new keto recipes! You can purchase it here and/or read more if you are interested. 🙂 I appreciate your support so much guys!
- Nutritional Food Scale – AKA my best friend. This little buddy has been with me for over 4 years and never fails. Perfect measurements and only needs the batteries replaced maybe once a year!
Tips For Making These No Bake Low Carb Cookie Dough Cheesecake Bars
- When making this recipe, make sure your cream cheese is already room temperature and you cream is cold for best results.
- These bars are great with all kinds of toppings like strawberries, melted chocolate, coconut and more if you ever want to switch it up!
- If you find your crust too crumbly, add an extra tablespoon of butter or a couple tsps of water to keep the calories down.
Keto No Bake Cookie Dough Cheesecake Bars
Ingredients:
No Bake Keto Cheesecake
- 1 8oz brick of cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp light cream, chilled, 75g
- 5 tbsp powdered monkfruit/erythritol sweetener, 60g
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp powdered unflavoured gelatin (I use the Organika (Canadian) or Vital Proteins (US) brands)
Cookie Dough Crust
- 1 Pouch Kick Kookies Chocolate Chip Keto Cookie Mix (or another keto cookie dough recipe you like)
- 1/4 cup softened butter, 60g
- 2 tsp water (optional, only if needed)
Directions:
- In a bowl, add your Kick Kookies Chocolate Chip Keto Cookie Mix.
- Add the 1/4 cup of softened butter and stir until everything is mixed and a crumbly cookie dough forms.
- Line a loaf pan with parchment paper. Use your hands to press the dough evenly into the bottom of the loaf pan (mine is slightly bigger than the average loaf pan, you can also use an 8×8 inch pan for slightly thinner bars). Set the cookie dough crust aside.
- In a glass measuring cup or microwavable cup add your cold cream and sprinkle the top with the gelatin and give it a stir. Let this sit while you make the rest of the filling.
- In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sweetener and vanilla extract until light and fluffy (~1min).
- After the gelatin and cream have sat for at least 5min, microwave them for 45-60s. Stir until the gelatin has dissolved (microwave for another 10-15s if needed).
- Now add the hot gelatin mixture to your cream cheese and beat again until smooth (be careful not to splash hot liquid).
- Pour this mixture over your cookie dough crust and use a spatula, or shake/tap it to make sure the top is even.
- Place the cake in the fridge uncovered for at least 2-3 hours or until it's set (the cake should be soft and jiggly but still hold together).
- Gently lift it out of the pan using the parchment paper and peel it off the sides of the bars. Slice into 8 pieces and enjoy your No Bake Keto Cookie Dough Cheesecake Bars!
