KETO SUMMER RECIPE
If you haven’t noticed yet, Peach season is here!!
And if you are following a sugar-free, keto or low-carb diet, you have probably been walking right by these juicy pieces of fruit. For every 100 grams of peaches, there are only 8 net grams of carbs.
Not as bad as you probably thought, right?!
By using only 1 peach, combining it with sugar-free peach-flavoured jello and then sandwiching it between layers of whipped cream cheese and whipping cream, this easy keto summer recipe will satisfy all your peach cravings!
EASY KETO DESSERT INGREDIENTS
Although this no-bake sugar-free dessert may look slightly intimidating, it is actually one of the easiest make-ahead keto dessert recipes you will ever find!
Here is a list of the ingredients you will need to make this easy keto dessert:
Butter – I used unsalted butter but you can use salted butter if you prefer and eliminate adding any salt.
Almond flour – The almond flour is the base of this crust and keeps this recipe gluten-free and low in carbs
Sweetener – I used a combination of Lakanto Golden (erythritol-based) sweetener in the crust and allulose in the cream layers. Erythritol-based sweeteners will crystalize slightly when cold. This is great when making “crunchy” crusts but not so great when trying to make “creamy” keto desserts. By using allulose (which does NOT crystalize when cold) in the creamy sections of this keto peaches and cream dessert, a smooth texture is produced.
Almond slices – Adding some toasted almond slices to the crust adds some texture to the crust. Additional almonds are added as a garnish.
Simply delish peach gel – The ingredients found in Simply Delish Natural products are certified Non-GMO and ethically sourced from all over the world. Their sugar-free jels and puddings set without gelatin derived from meat products, making them vegan and plant-based.
Peaches – This ingredient is purely optional as it does add some carbs to this dessert. 100 grams of chopped peaches will add about 8 grams of net carbs to this keto peaches and cream dessert. Since this dessert serves 10, adding 100 grams of chopped peaches (which helps to add some extra peach flavour and texture) will add about 0.75 grams of net carbs per slice. If you choose to add the peach, you can use frozen peaches that have been thawed and chopped (hint: it is easier to chop the peaches when they are frozen than when they have thawed) or fresh peach with the skin on or off.
Heavy cream – Heavy whipping cream (also known as Heavy cream) is used in this keto peaches and cream pie. I like to place my bowl and beaters in the freezer before adding the heavy cream. The colder the bowl and beaters, the faster the heavy cream turns into pillows of light and airy whipping cream.
Xanthan gum – Xantham gum is used as a stabilizer for whipped cream. You can read more on how to make stabilized whipped cream by clicking here. If you do not have xanthan gum, you can omit this ingredient but you will have to make and serve this keto peaches and cream pie on the same day or the whipping cream will slowly start to break down.
Cream cheese – I used full-fat cream cheese and if you are not a huge fan of cream cheese, you will still love this recipe as it does not really have a very strong cream cheese taste.
Sour cream – Adding sour cream to the cream cheese layer helps to make this keto summer dessert extra creamy. Sour cream also helps to add some tartness to this keto peaches and cream pie recipe as the rest of the ingredients are fairly sweet. If you do not have any sour cream, you swap out the sour cream with 1 tablespoon of heavy cream.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR KETO PEACHES AND CREAM PIE
- Preheat the oven to 325° and grease the bottom and sides of an 8-10″ springform pan with butter. Line the sides of the pan with strips of parchment paper.
- In the bowl of a food processor, add all the ingredients and pulse until a wet, crumbly “sand” mixture is produced
- Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the pan and bake until the edges are golden brown, about 20 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack and let cool.
- Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the pan and bake until the edges are golden brown, about 20 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack and let cool.
PREPARE THE PEACH FILLING
- Stir the peach jel jelly powder into ⅓ cup of cold water and stir until dissolved. Add 1 ⅓ cups boiling water and stir. Allow the jel to cool for about 30 minutes at room temperature.
MAKE THE WHIPPED CREAM TOPPING
- While the peach filling is cooling, whip the cream, powdered sweetener and xantham gum until stiff peaks form, about 1-2 minutes.
- Place the whipped cream topping and the peach filling in the fridge
MAKE CREAM CHEESE LAYER
- In a medium-sized bowl on medium speed, beat cream cheese, powdered sweetener, and sour cream until combined and fluffy, about 30 seconds. Fold one-half of the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Chill until ready to use.
ASSEMBLE THE CAKE
- Once the crust and peach filling have cooled and set, spread the cream cheese mixture on the crust, spreading all the way to the edges. Spoon the peach filling over the cream cheese mixture.
- Add a diced peach (if you are adding this ingredient)
- Top with the remaining whipped cream and sprinkle with almonds. Wrap the entire pan in plastic wrap and chill at least 4 hours before serving.
MAKE AHEAD KETO DESSERT
This easy keto peach dessert can be made a day ahead as long as you keep it chilled, however, the longer you leave it the more the peach gelatin will break down so I strongly suggest that you make it the day you are wanting to eat it. Keep all the leftovers in the fridge for about 3 days.
Serve this easy keto dessert directly from the fridge.

Assemble The Cake
- Once the crust and peach filling have cooled, spread the cream cheese mixture on the crust, spreading all the way to the edges. Carefully pour the peach filling over the cream cheese mixture. Place the mixture back in the fridge for 30 minutes to allow the gel to set a little more.
- Once the gel is a little set on the top, spread the remaining whipped cream over the peach layer and sprinkle with almonds. Wrap the entire pan in plastic wrap and chill at least 4 hours before serving.
