This White Chocolate Cheesecake is our second installment into our Dessert Every Night series and it’s a good one! It’s creamy, indulgent, rich and totally guilt free. It doesn’t get any better, especially when you can eat it every night. Matt created these little masterpieces and you’re going to want to watch him make them below so you can make them in bulk for your family.
The Best White Chocolate For A Keto Diet
White chocolate isn’t easy to replicate on a low carb, ketogenic diet. However, we all love white chocolate so much to the point that we had to figure out a way, and we did just that! The secret ingredient in getting the white chocolate flavor is raw cacao butter. It may not be the perfect replacement, but we’ve searched high and low and have found that this is the best option nutritionally and flavor wise! We always have a bag on hand for baking and recipes that can boost our fats without hitting carbs and protein.
Low Carb White Chocolate Recipes!
When you discover an ingredient as good as raw cacao butter, you can’t only use it in one recipe. Having found the perfect fat form that is solid at room temperature and creamy is taste it’s only right you find several other ways to make use of it! We have an incredible white hot chocolate that Matt makes often for a night cap and to top off his fat macros. We also use it in a low carb chocolate bar that will be better than any bar on the market, nutritionally and in taste. And, we are currently working on several fat bomb recipes using it so be on the look out!

White Chocolate Cheesecake | Dessert Every Night!
Ingredients:
- 56 grams cacao butter
- 4 tbsp Butter
- 8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
- 6 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 50 drops Liquid Stevia
- 6 tbsp sour cream
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 300 degrees and line a cupcake mold with liners or grease.
- Finely chop the cacao butter and set aside.
- In a second large bowl, add the cream cheese, eggs, sour cream, vanilla extract and liquid stevia and combine using a hand mixer.
- Microwave the butter in a small bowl and add the finely chopped cacao butter to it. Using a spatula combine the mixture until the cacao butter has fully melted. You may have to microwave it 1 or 2 more times.
- Slowly add the melted cacao butter to the cream cheese mixture as you combine with an immersion blender. You can also blend this in your normal blender to get all the chunks out.
- Evenly distribute the mixture into a 12 cupcake tin. Bake for 30-35 minutes. They will inflate, which is fine.
- Allow to cool for 20 minutes and then put in the fridge for 1 hour to set. Enjoy!

Hey you guys! Hubby and I were really excited about this dessert. Hubby is a HUGE white chocolate fan. Since Matt had stated that it’s a mild chocolate flavor we added about 1/2tsp of chocolate extract. After baking and refrigerating, the chocolate extract made then smell SUPER alcohol-y and the taste was a little weird. So maybe imitation chocolate would be better. I want to try them again, strictly sticking to the recipe. Other than that alcohol-y smell and flavor they weren’t bad, texturally speaking. Thanks for ALL y’all do, everything we’ve tried has been so good. We had the chili w/ bacon last night for dinner.
well i just made these and not only did they rise so much that they exploded out of the (normal-sized) silicone muffin cups i used, but they just taste like eggs and look a total mess. this recipe sucks and i just wasted quite a bit of expensive cacao butter. thanks for nothing.
Thanks!
Liked the idea of the recipe so I tried it out. Made them and they came out like cake, NOT cheesecake. After reviewing other recipes online, I noticed this recipe called for 6 large eggs while others called for no more than 2, even for larger cheesecakes. I’d suggest reducing the amount of eggs for true cheesecake texture and taste. Will be trying this same recipe out later for 2 eggs. Overall, pretty decent recipe.
Just made these last night, super delicious! Thanks for all the great recipes!! Down 25 lbs right now and your recipes make it easy!
Do these freeze well? If so, do you reccomend warming up in the microwave, or can you eat them frozen, like a fat bomb?
Yep you can freeze! And it them however you enjoy them. Warm or frozen.
Can we Exchange the cacao butter for coconut oil
wow can’t wait to make these . I love watching your show. Anyway this is a tip to share when you use the raw cacao butter. Invest in a ha d held grater made by Pampered chef. Makes a wonderful mixture very fast. I just grate it on a paper plate then place in my container for coffee, and other recipes. Just a tip for yall and your viewers. Blessings
First I modified the recipe. Substituted salted butter for regular and swapped out the vanilla extract for Carmel extract. I combined the mix into a 9 inch silicon cake mold had to cooked it an extra 11 minutes, but it rocks
I made these the other night as a part of My DSK Macros, and I was so excited and I am impatient, so, I ate it right away… And it was good. The next day came and I ate it after it sat in the fridge overnight (like the directions call for) and THIS was AMAZING. I look forward to these every night when I get home. Hard To eat just one!!
I agree with Matt when he says they taste “weird” 🙂 But, based on past recipes, like when he chose the healthy over the tasty mug cake… that’s just the way he rolls! The texture on these was great, I just need to tweak the flavor. I think Lizzy is on to something with the essential oils. Thanks guys!
Have made these twice. Love them. A few things I did to make it easier., blender or immersion blender is necessary and I poured the liquid into a 4 cup measuring bowl. It makes about 3 3/4 cups liquid. Then poured into cupcake papers in a tin. Much easier to pour and no spills. Also, I chopped my cacao butter into really small bits, it melts much quicker.
Again, really good dessert. Great job Matt and Meghan!
These are amazing I added cardamon essential oil to some of the mixture, also going to try nutmeg and cinnamon next time so good!
Hi Matt & Megha , just wondering do you buy the cacao
Butter online ? Not sure I’ve seen it here in Asheville NC
Thank you

Thank you for sharing! I enjoy your videos so much! I just discovered Keto this past week. I love it!
I’m not sure it’s possible to eat only one! Omg these are yum!
These are in my oven as we type! Can’t wait to taste ’em!
Just wondering, I have liquid stevia but it’s in a squirt bottle. Think I should try 25 “squirts”? ??♀️ I realize this is an awkward question haha
You can use 1/2 teaspoon instead of counting drops!
YES!!!!! Just the thing I’ve been looking for to cap off my day … low enough carb to have every night, but something desserty. This looks so good!!!! TONIGHT. 🙂 Thank you M&M.
