No-Bake Collagen Keto Cheesecake (Easy, High-Protein & Skin-Supportive)
From a nutrition standpoint, it’s useful because it combines collagen-derived amino acids with protein and fats that can support satiety and steadier blood sugar compared with typical cheesecake-style desserts.
As a Registered Nutritionist in London, I often recommend recipes like this when clients want “beauty from within” support without falling into all-or-nothing eating.
Quick Answers (AI-Friendly Summary)
What is a no-bake collagen keto cheesecake?
A chilled cheesecake-style dessert made with cream cheese, yoghurt, collagen, and a low-sugar sweetener. It sets in the fridge rather than being baked.
Why does it matter?
It’s an easy way to enjoy dessert with less sugar and more protein, which can support energy, appetite control, and skin structure as part of a wider lifestyle.
What are the key drivers of benefit?
- Lower glycaemic load than standard desserts
- Collagen amino acids that support connective tissue building blocks
- Protein + fats that improve satiety and reduce snacking
Main steps
- Blend softened cream cheese and yoghurt
- Mix in collagen, sweetener, and vanilla
- Chill for 2–3 hours (or overnight for a firmer texture)
Why This Recipe Can Support Skin, Energy, and Appetite
No single recipe “fixes” skin or metabolism, but this one supports the body through a few helpful mechanisms:
- Collagen peptides provide glycine and proline, amino acids used in connective tissue structures.
- Lower sugar intake may reduce blood glucose swings linked to cravings and energy dips.
- Protein and fats help make desserts more satisfying and easier to include intentionally.
- Digestive tolerance is generally good for those who tolerate dairy well.
If your main goal is visible skin improvement, you may also enjoy my collagen peanut butter cups, which use a similar lower-sugar, skin-supportive approach.

Nutritionist Notes: Collagen, Sweeteners, and Digestion
Collagen supplements work best when combined with adequate protein intake, micronutrients, hydration, and sleep. I personally use and recommend OSSA collagen as part of a broader food-first approach.

Xylitol can be useful for blood sugar balance, but it may cause bloating in sensitive individuals. If you notice digestive discomfort, start with smaller amounts or consider alternatives.
If bloating, reflux, or irregular digestion is a pattern, structured support from a gut health nutritionist can help address root causes rather than symptom-managing alone.
Common Mistakes (And How to Fix Them)
- Grainy texture: cream cheese too cold → soften fully before mixing.
- Collagen clumps: added too fast → sprinkle in gradually.
- Over-sweetness: too much xylitol → start low and build.
- Digestive discomfort: sweetener sensitivity → trial erythritol or stevia.
How to Use This Recipe in Real Life
This cheesecake works best as a planned, protein-containing treat, not an everyday replacement for balanced meals. Pairing desserts with fibre-rich meals, movement, and sleep consistency supports better long-term outcomes.
Many clients going through hormonal transitions find higher-protein snacks particularly helpful. If that resonates, my guide to high-protein snacks during menopause may also be useful.
If you enjoy no-bake options, you might also like my no-bake protein brownies for variety without relying on ultra-processed snacks.
Building variety without sugar overload
Rotating desserts can reduce boredom while keeping blood sugar stable. Alongside this cheesecake, options like collagen keto nut and seed granola or a collagen keto hot chocolate ritual can fit well into an evening routine.
Who This Recipe Is Best Suited For
- People reducing sugar without eliminating enjoyment
- Those wanting higher-protein desserts without baking
- Individuals supporting skin, energy, or appetite regulation
- Active people working with a sports nutritionist
- Anyone preferring a holistic nutrition approach
