Low carb No Bake Peppermint Cheesecake Recipe

There is no season quite like Peppermint Season. The good thing about Peppermint Season is that it’s not specific to any holiday, any religion, any culture, or any philosophy. It’s a season for all to enjoy and it typically stretches from early November well into late March. However, some experts believe that Peppermint Season actually lasts all year long, so it may be a misnomer to call it a “season”. But for our purposes here, we will discuss the shorter, cold weather version of “Peppermint Season”. It overlaps with Pumpkin Season and Gingerbread Season because of its close association with dropping temperatures. And it extends well into the New Year, keeping the awful dreariness of January, February, and March at bay. Somehow, the frosty taste of peppermint has a warming affect on most people. Experts have been researching this for years but have been unable to fully elucidate the cool  mouth sensation to warm heart and soul pathways. More clinical studies are needed to define these biological mechanisms.

None of this is to say that people in more southern regions cannot enjoy the season to its full extent. Australians, New Zealanders, and South Africans are almost as enthusiastic about Peppermint Season as people in the Northern Hemisphere. They just have to be ready to either sweat from drinking peppermint hot chocolate when it’s summer for them, or they have to find ways to use the peppermint in chilled applications. There is a lack of data from the equatorial regions, but experts believe that with repeated exposure, people from these regions would also enthusiastically embrace Peppermint Season.

  1. Could you please post a sweetener to sugar equivalent chart.
    I’m just unsure of which sweeteners are 1:1 ratio.
    Plus the liquid stevia.
    Thank you.

  2. These bad boys got pinned right away! They look AMAZING and like a perfect option for a holiday party potluck I’ll be going to next week!

  3. I’m going to use Swerve to make this; do you recommend confectioners or can I get away with granulated? What did you use for yours? Thanks!

  4. Could this be made ahead and frozen? Chocolate and peppermint, one of my favorite combinations. Thank you for sharing all your great recipes.

  5. Absolutely perfect! The crust tastes like crushed oreos. The mint cheesecake is creamy and yummy. This one is definitely a keeper for me, I plan on making it again and again. Plus so easy. Another great recipe, Carolyn!

  6. Finished making this and will be taking it into work tomorrow to test out on no-lcers. I normally ignore no-bake cheesecakes, but couldn’t resist trying this. It’s excellent. Denise is right, the crust does taste like Oreos (or at least what I remember them tasting like as I haven’t had them in over 4 years). Thanks for a great recipe!

    • So glad you liked them. I typically love a baked cheesecake but making them no-bake sometimes can help save some effort.

  7. Thank you for this great recipe! I have one question. I bake a lot with Swerve and I used to order the 22 pound bag at the Swerve website. I recently found it is no longer available for sale online. Do you know of a resource to buy a 22 lb bag or a similar type of bulk quantity? Thank you.

    • I don’t know that any place sells it but it’s possible that if you reach out to the people at Swerve, they can sell it to you directly.

  8. This is so fabulous and easy. I don’t often make low-carb deserts since I already make everything from scratch on a low-carb diet. This was easy and worth it though. It’s like an after dinner mint! I’m already thinking of other flavor combinations, like coconut extract instead of peppermint to make a coconut cream pie or using pineapple and coconut together for pina colada.

    I’d love to make a low-carb version of southern banana pudding (my son’s favorite) and I think this filling might work, but would need low-carb vanilla wafers. If you know of a recipe for banana pudding that would be great.

  14. I think I’m going to attempt to do a peppermint dirt cake, with this and the chocolate layer of the peanut butter dirt cake. I may do the chocolate layer on the bottom, though…probably more structurally sound that way. Will let you know how it turns out! (It sounds delicious in my head, at least!)

  17. Another great recipe! I made these for Christmas and people loved them! I made the filling as stated but baked mine for about 25 minutes at 350 as it seems to make the cake set better, at least in my experience. It worked just fine. I’m still working on leftovers, this is really a terrific dessert!

  18. Carolyn,

    Is there a replacement for protein powder? I cannot use it. If I leave it out will it change the consistency?

    Thanks,
