This decadent Keto Strawberry Cheesecake Parfaits feature a creamy strawberry cheesecake layer topped with vanilla chia seed pudding! A sweet keto treat under 5 net carbs!
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.

How to Make Keto Cheesecake Parfaits
These cheesecake parfaits are incredibly ease to make! You can follow our step-by-step instructions below or scroll to the printable recipe card at the bottom of the page for a complete list ingredients, amounts, and instructions.
- 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.
Storage Instructions
Store these jars in an airtight container in the fridge. This cheesecake parfait can be stored for up to 4 days in the refrigerator.
