Keto Chocolate Cheesecake Jars

Easy chocolate cheesecake jars topped with silky smooth dark chocolate ganache — that's every chocoholic's dream!

I made these single-serve cheesecake jars a few times for parties and summer BBQs and they were a hit even amongst my non keto friends. Best of all, they are really easy to put together with just a few ingredients.

These healthy cheesecake jars are crustless and no-bake just like my low-carb Strawberry Cheesecake Jars. If you want to add a simple low-carb crust, check out our Lemon Cheesecake Jars or Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake Jars.

If you are short on time you can skip the refrigeration but it's better if you can chill them for a couple of hours before topping with the ganache and serving. Once chilled, the cheesecake will firm up and become rich yet airy. Enjoy!
