Ingredients
Scale
1 1/2 cups almond flour
1/4 cup granulated keto sweetener (erythritol or monk fruit blend)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
16 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
3/4 cup powdered keto sweetener
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
Prepare the crust: Mix almond flour, 1/4 cup granulated sweetener, and melted butter until combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Let cool.
Reduce oven temperature to 300°F (150°C) for the baked version, or skip to step 5 for the no-bake option.
Prepare the filling: Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sweetener, pumpkin puree, eggs, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
Pour the filling over the cooled crust.
Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still has a slight wobble.
Turn off the oven, crack the door open slightly, and let the cheesecake cool inside the oven for 1 hour to prevent cracking.
Remove from the oven and cool completely on a wire rack. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, before slicing.
Notes
For a no-bake version, chill the filling in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours until firm instead of baking.
Use full-fat cream cheese for the best creamy texture.
If you prefer cheesecake bars, press the crust into an 8×8 inch pan.
