Ingredients
Scale
- Crust:
- 1½ cups almond flour
- ¼ cup melted butter
- 2 tbsp erythritol sweetener
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- Filling:
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- ¾ cup pumpkin purée
- ½ cup powdered erythritol
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1½ tsp pumpkin pie spice
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a springform pan with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix almond flour, melted butter, erythritol, and cinnamon. Press firmly into the pan.
- Bake crust for 10 minutes, then let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add pumpkin purée and erythritol, mixing well.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, then add heavy cream, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
- Pour filling over crust and smooth the top.
- Bake for 45–50 minutes until set but slightly jiggly in the center.
- Cool completely, then refrigerate at least 4 hours before slicing.
Notes
- Chill time is essential for clean slices—plan for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- You can bake the crust a bit longer for a crunchier base, if desired.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4–5 days or freeze for longer storage.
- To avoid cracks, cool cheesecake gradually and don’t overbeat the filling after adding eggs.
