This recipe was the result of a happy accident, don’t you love when that happens? I had been working on some strawberry cheesecake fat bombs for Valentine’s Day and also happened to be eating my basic vanilla chia seed pudding for breakfast when I realized if I combined the two I would have an amazing parfait! 

This recipe has the benefits of a fat bomb but by adding the chia seed pudding layer it really stretches this into a nutritious snack that is quite filling! It also makes a great meal prep option because it can be made in advance. 

What ingredients Keto Strawberry Cheesecake Parfaits?

This recipe requires only a handful of basic ingredients and is highly customizable based on your personal preferences. The ingredients you need are:

• Unsweetened Almond Milk
• Chia Seeds
• Vanilla Extract
• Confectioners Swerve Sweetener
• Cream Cheese
• Strawberries
• Heavy Cream (can sub almond milk if you want to lower the fat content or do not have it)

How do you make Keto Cheesecake Parfaits?

This easy low carb parfait has two components. The base is a creamy no bake strawberry cheesecake layer that is made by combining cream cheese, strawberries, confectioners swerve heavy cream and vanilla extract. To make this simple I do not drag out my mixer I just add the ingredients to my small blender and pulse until the mixture is creamy. 

The second layer is basic vanilla chia seed pudding. This is my go to recipe that I have most mornings. It is simply unsweetened almond milk, chia seeds, swerve confectioners and vanilla extract. I love this combination because it is so basic. It has a mildly sweet but vanilla flavor that I love and it works great with toasted coconut, chopped nuts or berries. 

As with any chia seed pudding you must allow the mixture to set and absorb the liquid. I find that stirring the mixture vigorously occasionally speeds up the process tremendously. 

To assemble the parfaits I use my favorite 7 ounce mini Wreck jars. This makes three servings so spoon the strawberry cheesecake layer among 3 jars and top with the chia seed pudding. If you wish, you can add whipped cream on top. I like to use the Rediwhip Almondmilk version, it is very low in carb and handy to keep in the fridge. 

What are some other easy keto snacks?

My favorite keto meal prep are these easy sausage egg and cheese bites. They have less than one net carb each. You can easily make a batch over the weekend and have a delicious grab and go breakfast or snack all week. I also love this Lemon Chia Seed Pudding when I want something sweet and tangy. Some of my other favorites include:

• Easy Keto Pizza Bites (less than one net carb each)
• Keto Chili Cheese Chips (ONE net carb and they taste just like Chili Cheese Fritos!)
• Sausage Cream Cheese Pinwheels (2 net carbs each)
• Keto Peanut Butter Fudge (3 ingredients and only 2 net carbs each!)
