Ingredients
Crust:
- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- 1 large egg
- ⅓ cup Sweetener
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ cup melted unsalted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Filling:
- 24 oz full fat cream cheese at room temperature
- 3 large eggs at room temperature
- 1 ¼ cups pumpkin puree
- 1 1/4 cup Sweetener
- ½ cup full fat sour cream
- 1 ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
- ⅛ tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Make the Crust: In a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients for the crust and stir well until no lumps remain and the dough looks crumbly. If the mixture seems too sticky, add one tablespoon of coconut flour.
- Transfer the crust into the prepared pan and press into an even layer using a measuring cup.
- Bake the crust for 10 minutes until the edges begin to brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
- Make the Pumpkin Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, add room temperature cream cheese, sour cream, pumpkin puree, sweetener, eggs, spices, and vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer incorporate all the ingredients until the mixture looks smooth and creamy. Scrape the edges if necessary.
- Pour the cheesecake mixture onto the cooled crust and use a spatula to smoothen the top.
- Bake in the center of the oven for 40–45 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until completely chilled and set.
- Lift the cheesecake from the pan using the parchment paper and cut into 16 bars.
