Traditional German chocolate cake recipe and creamy cheesecake

The traditional German chocolate cake features a double layer cake with coconut pecan frosting.

I didn’t want to turn German cakes into low-carb chocolate cakes and then make a layer of cakes and wait for them to cool before adding frosting.

I was thinking about Mother’s Day, so I chose a decadent, baked dessert recipe using keto-friendly ingredients that don’t spike blood sugar for people like me who have less effort in the kitchen and are on a low carb or keto diet.

The cheesecake you need includes sugar-free chocolate chips (the brand of Lily) or sugar-free chocolate bar, softened cream cheese, sugar confectionery, unsweetened cocoa powder, chocolate liquid monk fruit, vanilla extract, and heavy cream.

Toppings you need include butter, low carb confectionery, heavy cream, salt, caramel or vanilla extracts, and unsweetened shredded coconut.

Optional toppings will melt the chopped pecans and sugar-free chocolate chips to allow light rain to fall on top if necessary.

How to make keto sugar free German chocolate cheesecake

The crust

Lightly apply the bottom and sides of the 9-inch springform pan.

Place the dried ingredients in a food processor, pulse until combined, add butter and process until combined.

Press the bottom of the bread as evenly as possible. Please put it aside.

Cheesecake

Place the chocolate chips in a large mixing bowl, glass that fits perfectly on a small saucepan filled with water. Bring the water to a boil over medium heat and stir the chips constantly until smooth and melted. Remove from the heat. Please put it aside.

Place the cream cheese in a paddle attachment or a large bowl in a stand mixer and use an electric hand mixer to blend the cheese until smooth.

Add sweeteners from the sweets, cocoa, monk fruit and vanilla extract. Blend until incorporated. Taste and decide if you need more sweeteners.

Use a whisk to pour heavy cream and whip the whip until it’s fluffy, but it takes a few minutes. Start slower and then increase the speed.

Reduce the mixer to slow speed, pour in the melted chocolate chips and mix until well mixed.

Spread on the crust and let cool for an hour.

topping

Put the butter in a medium sized saucepan over low heat, melt it with sweeteners and cook for 3-4 minutes.

Pour in the heavy cream, bring to a boil, then simmer for 8-10 minutes until the mixture starts to thicken.

Once the mixture covers the back of the spoon and decreases in half, it’s done. Remove from heat, stir in salt and caramel extracts and mix, then stir in the coconut.

Spread the toppings over the cheesecake layer. Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving. Add optional toppings if necessary.

FAQ

Can I replace the sugar substitute I used?

If you don’t want to use the Monk Fruit Allures sweetener, you can use your favorite low-carb sweetener. Use a confectionery style rather than a granular one.

It is highly recommended to store chocolate liquid monk fruit for chocolate cake mixture.

I use my sweetener guide and conversion chart to help you decide how much you want to use in your recipes instead of what you use.

The best way to figure out which sugar-free sweeteners you enjoy is to test the different ones in the recipe. Always taste the test before baking keto desserts.

I’ve had sugar free for 17 years so it may not be sweet enough for you and your family and friends. Finding the right sweetener for you will make a huge difference in whether this can be a sustainable lifestyle.

The only thing I warn is to always use a small amount for sweets, as you can add them whenever you want, but using too much can’t take them away.

Can I use nuts instead of sunflower seeds?

Just as my youngest son is allergic to peanuts and tree nuts, if your family doesn’t have nut allergies, feel free to replace almonds, pecans, or walnuts and sunflower seeds.

You can see my cheesecake topped with pecans in the photo, but it’s completely optional. I knew my son wouldn’t eat this as he wasn’t taking part in chocolate cheesecake so I decided to add them. Otherwise, this low-carb dessert is completely nutless.

Can I use unsweetened chocolate instead of sugar-free chocolate chips?

Unsweetened chocolate bars tend to have no fat and not melt, so we don’t recommend using sugar-free chocolate chips or bars. You should also compensate by adding more sweeteners to this recipe.

Can I make this dairy product free?

Yes, you can get this creamy chocolate cheesecake dairy product free by swapping the cream cheese you use in your vegan cream cheese and swapping the heavy cream for canned coconut milk.

We do not recommend swapping heavy cream with almond milk. That’s because there’s not enough fat and doesn’t create a creamy texture on top for coconut frosting. Change the butter with melted coconut oil.
