Keto Chocolate Cheesecake Muffins Recipe
Finding a good dessert when living the Keto lifestyle doesn’t have to be hard. I talk to so many people who state that it’s one of their biggest fears of going Keto – losing flavor and great food options. I honestly can’t disagree more. Ever since my husband and I transitioned to eating Keto, I don’t feel like we’ve missed out. When we first started the Keto diet, I had to change my mindset, but once I did and fully embraced it, I can’t imagine not eating Keto!

How to Make Keto Chocolate Cheesecake Muffins
The key to a good cheesecake muffin? For this recipe to have that “wow” factor, make sure that your cream cheese is thoroughly softened first so that your Keto Chocolate Cheesecake Muffins are nice and smooth before baking. I use real Philadelphia cream cheese in recipes instead of the generic variety as the generic brands typically contain more carbs and additional ingredients.
I’m almost positive chocolate is a universal love language.
One of the biggest reasons that I love this recipe is that it’s super simple to make with only five ingredients, but tastes like it took a long time. It’s one of those super easy recipes that come out perfect every single time. Even if you aren’t a baker, this recipe is so easy to make.
I use a cookie scoop to get nice even muffins and my muffin pan stays mess-free making it much easier to wash later. Anytime I’m baking desserts that require; I always make sure to use 100% pure vanilla extract. I just find that it tastes so much better than the imitation variety.
I recommend using parchment paper muffin liners. You can find them on Amazon here. They make such a huge difference because nothing sticks at all leaving beautiful Keto Chocolate Cheesecake Muffins.
Toppings for Low Carb Chocolate Cheesecake Muffins
And for toppings? Add some fun berries that are in season or some delicious homemade whipped cream. I prefer these Keto Chocolate Cheesecake Muffins with strawberries, Lily’s Chocolate Chips, and whipped cream. Truly, you can add whatever keto friendly toppings that suit your taste.
How to Store Mini Keto Chocolate Cheesecake
I store the Keto Cheesecake Muffins in the fridge for 7-10 days in an airtight container. If you find that you can’t eat them all, you can always freeze them for up to 6 months. I recommend freezing Keto Chocolate Cheesecake Muffins individually that way you can grab one out at a time to enjoy rather than having to thaw them all together.
Yes, they are as delicious as they look!
This recipe is so versatile. You can add and subtract different ingredients and completely change the recipe. I’ve included links below to a couple of different Keto Cheesecake Muffins that are all amazing!

20 Tasty Keto Chocolate Recipes
can stevia be used instead of swerve?
I don’t personally like Stevia in baking as I find it to bitter in baking so I can’t say from personal experience how it will turn out.
I ran out of Swerve, so I used 1/4 swerve with 1/4 cup Splenda, and they taste delicious!! Wondering how that affects the carb count?
I have only silicone cupcake holders. Do you think these will stick too much?
I haven’t tried them but I have read comments from others who say that they work.
It works beautifully! I like the way they pop out and you have a whole muffin.
Can I use truvia granulated instead
I’ve only made the recipe with Swerve or Monkfruit so I can’t say from personal experience how it will turn out with a different sweetener.
I tried it with Splenda same measurement and they were sweet enough except the wired after taste
Yes, I think Splenda gives a weird aftertaste in baking.
What would you say about using Swerve confectioners IPO granulated? I was hoping for a “fluffier” muffin?!
I’ve only tried as is, but it’s worth a shot. This is cheesecake so you may not get fluffier.
Did you use regular size muffin cups or mini?
I used regular muffin cups.
Is that total carbs or net carbs? My grandson is type 1 diabetic so we have to count carbs but it has to be total carb count. Thank you!
My hubby and oldest daughter are both type 1 diabetic. I would suggest entering all of the exact ingredients that you used into a carb app to determine total carb count.
How do you store these? Can these go into the fridge for a few das or need to freeze ASAP? I get confused trying to calculate servings for one muffin?
I store them in the fridge.
When I put the recipe in my fitness pal the carbs are way more than 4g (I got 11+ grams). Do the carbs in the swerve granulated not count because they’re erythritol?
The carbs in swerve are sugar alcohols so they are subtracted. My Fitness Pal doesn’t know to do that.
I use KetkDiet app and I got the same carbs as the recipe. I made 15 cupcakes instead of 12 so is a little bit less than 2 carbs for each which is great. We totally love this recipe
So glad you enjoyed it.
