I created this Keto Flax Cheesecake to satisfy dessert cravings while staying low‑carb. It’s creamy, nutty, and guilt‑free. My Keto Flax Cheesecake is easy to make and does not need cream cheese. A dessert that is sure to make you feel wonderful.
While I was immersed in my kitchen adventures, I remembered that I had a bag of ground flax seeds stored in the wall cabinet. Naturally, the next thought that crossed my mind was, Why not try making a cheesecake with them?
So, with excitement in my heart, I started creating a cheesecake with a little twist—a crust infused with flax seeds.
The result?
The Keto Flax Cheesecake turned out to be a delightful treat. Your taste buds might not have an unearthly experience, but the plethora of healthy proteins it provides makes the slightly bitter aftertaste easily overlooked.
Before I share the recipe with you, I want to mention that I didn’t have any ready-made cream cheese on hand. However, I didn’t let that deter me. Instead, I decided to use a combination of hung curd and fresh cottage cheese as a substitute.
To make the cottage cheese, I took a liter of full cream milk and transformed it into approximately 200 grams of delectable cottage cheese. As for the hung curd, I always make sure to keep some in my fridge.

There’s a lot of dairy in here that I can’t have, but have you ever tried making cheesecake out of cashews? It’s great!
