Method
Preheat oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper.
Make the crust:
- In a bowl, mix almond flour, melted butter, sweetener, cinnamon, and salt until crumbly. Press evenly into the bottom of your prepared pan.
- Bake for 8–10 minutes or until lightly golden. Set aside to cool slightly.
Prepare the filling:
- In another bowl, beat cream cheese and sweetener until smooth. Add pumpkin puree, eggs, vanilla, and spices. Mix until creamy and well combined.
Assemble:
- Pour the cheesecake mixture over the baked crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake:
- Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
Chill:
- Allow to cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours (overnight for best texture).
Slice & Serve:
- Cut into 12 bars. Optionally, top with sugar-free whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon before serving.
Notes
- Use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling (which contains sugar).
- Let the cheesecake cool fully before slicing — this helps it set properly.
- For a dairy-free version, use vegan cream cheese and coconut oil in place of butter.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
