🛒 Ingredients
Almond Flour Crust
- 1½ cups almond flour
- ¼ cup melted butter
- ¼ cup powdered erythritol
Pumpkin Cheesecake Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup pumpkin puree
- ¼ cup granulated erythritol
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Prepare the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
2. Make the Crust
In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, melted butter, and powdered erythritol. Mix until the ingredients are evenly combined and the mixture resembles a moist, crumbly dough.
Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
3. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until completely smooth.
Add the pumpkin puree, granulated erythritol, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and egg. Mix until smooth and well combined. Avoid overmixing once the egg is incorporated.
4. Assemble
Pour the pumpkin cheesecake mixture over the prepared crust. Spread it evenly with a spatula.
5. Bake
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set around the edges and the center is just slightly soft.
6. Cool and Chill
Allow the bars to cool completely. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing.
For cleaner slices, use a sharp knife and wipe it clean between cuts.
⭐ Tips for Success
- Use softened cream cheese: This creates a smoother, creamier filling with fewer lumps.
- Don’t overbake: The center can have a slight jiggle when the bars come out of the oven. They will continue to firm up as they cool.
- Chill thoroughly: Refrigerating the bars makes them easier to slice and improves the texture.
- Line the pan: Parchment paper makes it much easier to lift the chilled cheesecake out before cutting.
- Adjust the sweetness carefully: Different brands of erythritol can vary slightly in sweetness and texture.
🍂 Easy Variations
For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or a little extra pumpkin pie spice to the filling.
You can also top the chilled bars with a small amount of unsweetened whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon before serving.
🧊 Storage
Store the cheesecake bars covered in the refrigerator for up to 4–5 days. They can also be frozen in individual portions and thawed in the refrigerator before serving.
