Ingredients
For the Pumpkin Cheesecake Crust:
- Almond Flour: The foundation of the crust, offering a nutty taste and a satisfying crunch. Almond flour is keto-friendly, low in carbs, and packed with protein and healthy fats.
- Unsalted Butter: It binds the crust and introduces a hint of richness and moisture. If you prefer, salted butter can be used, but consider reducing the salt in the filling. Coconut oil is a viable alternative.
- Swerve: A natural sweetener that mimics sugar in taste and measurement, yet has no calories or net carbs. It’s non-impactful on blood sugar or insulin levels, making it perfect for keto followers. Feel free to substitute with another granulated sweetener like erythritol, monk fruit, or stevia.
- Cinnamon: Infuses the crust with a spicy warmth that complements the pumpkin in the filling. Cinnamon also offers health benefits, such as reducing blood sugar and inflammation.

For the Pumpkin Cheesecake Filling:
- Heavy Whipping Cream: Whipped to stiff peaks and blended into the cream cheese for a fluffy filling texture. It’s high in fat and low in carbs, ideal for keto desserts.
- Cream Cheese: The star of the filling, providing a velvety texture and a tangy taste. Opt for full-fat cream cheese to stay true to keto principles.
- Pumpkin puree: It adds some natural sweetness and moisture to the filling, as well as a vibrant orange color and a delicious pumpkin flavor. Pumpkin puree is also rich in fiber, vitamin A, and antioxidants, making it a healthy addition to your keto diet. Make sure to use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, which has added sugar and spices. You can use shop bought canned pumpkin or make your own. Click here to see how to make pumpkin puree!
- Swerve: Sweetens the filling without the carbs or calories. You can use an equivalent amount of any other powdered sweetener you prefer.
- Vanilla Extract: Elevates the filling’s flavor profile and adds complexity. Ensure it’s sugar-free to maintain keto-friendliness.
- Pumpkin Pie Spice: A spice mix that imparts the quintessential autumnal flavor to the filling. It typically includes cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and allspice. Store-bought pumpkin pie spice works well.
- Salt: A pinch enhances the filling’s flavors without overwhelming sweetness.
- Cinnamon: A final dusting on top of the cheesecake bites adds spice and visual appeal. Optionally, top with whipped cream.
