Keto Gingerbread Eggnog Cheesecake Cups deliver a creamy no-bake Christmas dessert made with sugar-free eggnog, warm gingerbread spices, cream cheese, almond-flour crust, and whipped topping. These Keto Gingerbread Eggnog Cheesecake Cups are rich, low-carb, holiday-perfect, and ready in minutes without baking.

About This Recipe

Keto Gingerbread Eggnog Cheesecake Cups are built for the peak of holiday cravings—creamy desserts, ginger spice, cinnamon warmth, nutmeg, eggnog flavor, and no oven required. Instead of rolling out almond-flour cookies or baking a classic cheesecake, everything is portioned into individual cups with a simple almond-flour “crumb” base, a whipped no-bake cheesecake center, and sugar-free whipped cream on top. Each serving hits the flavor notes of gingerbread cookies plus holiday eggnog, but avoids sugar, wheat, and unnecessary carbs.

The almond-flour base mimics a spiced cookie crumble without baking. Butter binds it, cinnamon and ginger bring aroma, and a slight touch of brown-sweetener adds depth. It firms quickly in the fridge, keeping total prep short. The filling blends softened cream cheese with heavy cream, powdered sweetener, vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger, and a small amount of sugar-free eggnog. It whips together fast and sets soft, like a mousse-style cheesecake rather than a dense baked version.

Because the dessert is portioned, macros stay controlled while still delivering fat-forward keto calories. It also beats traditional cheesecakes on time—no cracking, no cooling, no water bath, and no overnight wait. You can pipe the filling for cleaner presentation or spoon it in for speed. The topping is simple: whipped cream plus holiday spices or sugar-free sprinkles.

This recipe fits into low-carb Christmas gatherings, dessert trays, or single-serve treats. It also pairs with your existing keto dessert collection and can cross-link into holiday favorites. For another seasonal low-carb dessert, try Pumpkin Pie – Classic Low-Carb Thanksgiving Dessert. Or keep the cheesecake theme rolling with Keto Cranberry Orange Cheesecake.

Prep can be done ahead—chill the cups, then top just before serving. Texture stays creamy for 2–3 days refrigerated.
