This keto salted caramel cheesecake is voted recipe of the week, and I can’t stop eating it… can someone please come to rescue me? I’m in a keto cheesecake coma…
The filling of this cheesecake is set using gelatin and collagen, which is fantastic for your joints, hair, nails and skin. Who would have thought that the health benefits of collagen would be so tasty!
This no bake cheesecake is super easy, in fact I would say that It is easier than my New York Baked Cheesecake, since you don’t have to wait for it to cool down in the oven, or bake it with a water bath…
It’s made with the delicious salted caramel collagen mix made by Perfect Keto, and the ingredients are SUPER GOOD! (Grass Fed & Finished Hydrolysed Bovine Collagen Peptides, Coconut (C8:C10) MCT Oil Powder (Acacia Fibre), Natural Caramel Flavour, Organic Himalayan Rock Salt, Sunflower Lecithin, Pure Stevia Extract (REBA))
Can you eat cheesecake on a keto diet?
The ketogenic diet solely focuses on whether you are in a state of “ketosis” or not. A normal cheesecake would prevent you from reaching ketosis, since the sugar would spike blood sugar levels, and subsequent insulin levels, preventing you from reaching ketosis. Also, the biscuit base would keep you from entering ketosis.
This cheesecake doesn’t contain any sugar and keeps the base low carb, which will keep you in a state of fat burning throughout the entire time.
Best ever salted caramel cheesecake recipe
I would but this in the running to be one of the best no bake salted caramel cheesecake recipes out there, but since we’re just talking about keto desserts, you can always trust a FatForWeightLoss dessert recipe.
Keto Caramel Sauce
This recipe doesn’t need sauce, because all the goodness is inside the cheesecake. Normally, a cheesecake would be plain vanilla, then drizzled with a caramel sauce.
You can certainly do that, plus I have an amazing caramel sauce recipe in my brand new Keto Sweet tooth Cookbook available, so go ahead and grab a copy to make this cheesecake even MORE amazing.
Keto chocolate caramel cheesecake
This cheesecake has a chocolate crust, which goes so well with the salted caramel filling. It adds a depth of flavor that you wouldn’t otherwise get from a salted caramel cheesecake.
Health Benefits Of Gelatin and Collagen
Health Benefits Of Gelatin and Collagen go far beyond this post, so I will link to Dr Axes post that talks all about how gelatin helps with skin, hair, nails plus many other things necessary to live a happy healthy life.
One thing I did not know before reading Dr Axes post was gelatin neutralizes methionine levels, which eating a lot of meat can create high levels of (actually, homocystine, in a roundabout way). Go read his post for more info on how collagen and gelatin help boost your goals.

Tips & Notes:
Are there any subsitutes for collagen powder?
Sure! whilst collagen is a very bioavailable protein, meaning that your body can absorb it very easily, you might also have regular protein powder in the house too. To subsitute, just use the same amount of regular protein powder (I use venom protein found in australia). If you can find it, I recommend using a stevia sweetened version that is a salted caramel flavour. Otherwise vanilla or chocolate will work very well as well.Do You Know Your Macros?

Can you substitute half and half for the heavy cream to reduce some calories and fat?
FatForWeightLoss says
Hi Emily, we don’t have that type of cream here in AUS so I’m not sure sorry.
Brandon says
You can do half and half or evaporated milk. Either will do.
Felicity says
Oh wowzers, this is amazing! And I don’t even like any kind of cheesecake, so this speaks volumes for the flavor and texture! Thanks ?
FatForWeightLoss says
AMAZING!
Tanya Long says
Made this for a party so I could eat dessert, OMG it’s awesome.
I got carried away and did a Keto caramel sauce swirl on top just to show off.
There was so much food on offer that night I got to take most of it home again.

Terri says
Can you substitute protein isolate instead of the collagen powder if that’s all you have?
FatForWeightLoss says
Yes you most certainly can!
Linda says
Would love to make this but I cannot find temple nutrition through Amazon and found out I couldn’t pay it in payments because I don’t live in Australia or New Zealand. So how do I get a hold of this?
FatForWeightLoss says
Hi Linda,
You can substitute with a salted caramel collagen from Perfect Keto (don’t forget to use code FFWL for 15% off :-))
Abby says
Can i change the flavor of the collagen??
FatForWeightLoss says
You sure can!
Leanne says
Aaron, this looks amazing! I don’t have the Salted Caramel Collegen Powder but do have a regular Vanilla Flavoured one. Could I add tsp of keto maple syrup for flavour? What are your thoughts?
FatForWeightLoss says
Hi Leanne,
Yes, you could make this using vanilla flavored collagen no worries. There is an ultra great caramel recipe inside my new keto cookbook that would go perfectly with this!
