In another bowl, dissolve vegan gelatin in cold water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes. Then add hot water to dissolve completely. In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sweetener, cocoa powder, heavy cream, sour cream, vanilla extract, baking soda, and gelatin mixture. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth.

Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust in the springform pan. Smooth out the top with a spatula to ensure an even layer.

Step 4: Prepare Ganache Topping

In a saucepan over low heat, combine sugar-free chocolate chips and heavy cream. Stir until melted and smooth. Pour this ganache over the cheesecake layer evenly.

To make your Keto Chocolate Cheesecake even better, consider these helpful tips:

• Use room temperature ingredients: This helps create a smooth and creamy texture without lumps.

• Chill before serving: Allowing the cheesecake to set in the fridge for at least 4 hours enhances its flavor and texture.

• Experiment with sweeteners: Different sweeteners can affect taste and texture, so find one that suits your palate best.

• Avoid overmixing: Mix until just combined to prevent excess air, which can lead to cracks in your cheesecake.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

When making Keto Chocolate Cheesecake, avoid these common pitfalls to ensure your dessert turns out perfectly.

• Using the wrong sweetener: Not all sweeteners work the same in baking. Stick to those recommended in the recipe for the best results.
• Overmixing the batter: Mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to a dense texture instead of a light and fluffy cheesecake.
• Ignoring temperature: Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature. Cold cream cheese can result in lumps and an uneven mix.
• Skipping the cooling time: Allow your cheesecake to chill properly before serving. This step is crucial for setting the texture and flavor.
• Not measuring ingredients accurately: Use precise measurements for each ingredient. Inaccurate amounts can affect the balance of flavors.
