A favorite dessert among low-carbers is the keto cheesecake. We’ve adapted that classic into a single-serve shooter—easy to make, portion-controlled, and perfect for a quick snack.
Keto Cheesecake Shooters
Cheesecake ranks high on keto dessert lists for good reason. Cream cheese is a pantry staple for many on low-carb diets, and its rich texture pairs well with low-carb sweeteners like stevia. A touch of vanilla or lemon brightens the flavor and balances any bitterness from sugar substitutes.
For these shooters we chose a parfait-style, crust-free approach. Skipping the crust lowers the carbs and keeps the recipe simple. Single-serve glasses make portions easy to track for macros; similar small glasses or disposable shooters can be found inexpensively.
You can also serve the mixture in ramekins or any small glass. The important part is dividing into single servings so you know exactly what you’re eating.
How we make these keto cheesecake shooters
This recipe works with sugar-free caramel for a layered caramel cheesecake shooter, or you can omit the caramel and alternate layers with blueberries or sliced strawberries for a fresh option.
Allow the cream cheese to soften at room temperature before mixing. Heating cream cheese in the microwave can cause lumps and prevent a smooth, creamy texture.
Makes 10–12 shooters.
Your keto cheesecake shooters were so easy to make and such a simple way to get in a sweet treat. Great idea, and that caramel sauce is bomb!

We recommend a sugar-free caramel sauce used by many low-carb bloggers. A serving of that caramel sauce contains about 1 net carb, which would add roughly 1 net carb per shooter—making these shooters about 2 net carbs each when combined with the cheesecake filling.

A serving of the caramel sauce has about 1 net carb. Making our shooters approximately 2 net carbs per serving.
