Equipment
- 1 Spatula
Ingredients
Pumpkin Cheesecake Crust
- 1 cup almond flour
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Swerve
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
Pumpkin Cheesecake Filling
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 7.5 oz pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup Swerve
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Pumpkin Spice
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
Instructions
Pumpkin Cheesecake Crust
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, sweetener, and cinnamon until well combined. This will be the dry mixture for the crust. Add the melted butter to the dry mixture and stir with a fork or a spatula until a crumbly dough forms. You may need to use your hands to press the dough together.
- Line 15 mini muffin cups with paper liners or spray them with cooking spray or use 15 mini paper muffin cups for easiness. Divide the dough evenly among the cups, using about a teaspoon for each one. Press the dough firmly into the bottom and slightly up the sides of the cups, creating a small well for the filling.
- Place the muffin tin in the refrigerator and chill for 15 minutes. This will help the crusts hold their shape and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
Pumpkin Cheesecake Filling
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and the heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy. You can use a blender as well. Add the sweetener, pumpkin puree, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, and salt and beat until well combined.
- Fill a piping bag with the filling and pipe it over the crusts in the mini muffin cups, filling them almost to the top. Sprinkle a little bit of cinnamon for extra flavor and decoration.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.
