🍴 Ingredients You’ll Need

- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- ¼ cup sugar-free powdered sweetener (e.g., erythritol or monk fruit)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 5 tablespoons butter, melted
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
🥄 For the Filling (The Magic)
- 32 oz (2 blocks) full-fat cream cheese, room temperature
- 4 large eggs, room temperature, lightly beaten
- 2 cups sugar-free powdered sweetener
- 8 oz (1 cup) pure pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
👩🍳 How to Make This Amazing Keto Pumpkin Cheesecake
- Preheat & Prep: Heat oven to 350°F. Mix all crust ingredients in a bowl – it should look like wet sand. Press firmly into the bottom and halfway up the sides of a 10-inch springform pan. Bake 8 minutes. Lower oven to 325°F. Set crust aside.
- Beat the Cream Cheese: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese with a hand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes). Scrape the bowl.
- Add Sweetener & Pumpkin: Gradually beat in the sweetener. Then add pumpkin puree, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Mix until just combined – don’t overbeat!
- Add the Eggs: Beat in eggs one addition at a time until just mixed. For absolute silkiness, pour the batter through a fine mesh strainer into another bowl (this removes lumps).
- Bake Low & Slow: Pour filling over crust, spread even. Bake at 325°F for 40–50 minutes. The top should be set but the center will still jiggle slightly when you shake the pan.
- Cool Gradually (Secret to No Cracks): Turn off oven, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake sit inside for 1 hour. Remove, run a knife around the edge, and cool on the counter for another hour.
- Chill Overnight: Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 5 hours, but overnight is best. Release springform sides before serving. That’s it – perfection!
