Equipment

  • 1 9-inch springform pan
  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 medium mixing bowl
  • 1 Electric mixer
  • 1 Spatula
  • 1 Measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 3 tablespoons granulated erythritol
  • 24 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 3/4 cup granulated erythritol
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine almond flour, melted butter, and 3 tablespoons of erythritol to form the crust.
  • Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of the springform pan.
  • Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and 3/4 cup erythritol until smooth using an electric mixer.
  • Add the pumpkin puree, eggs, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and salt to the cream cheese mixture.
  • Mix everything together until well combined and creamy.
  • Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan.
  • Smooth the top with a spatula to ensure even baking.
  • Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for about 50 minutes to 1 hour or until the center is set.
  • Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake rest inside with the door slightly open for 1 hour to prevent cracking.
  • Remove the cheesecake from the oven, and let it cool completely to room temperature.
  • Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.

Notes

For best results, ensure that all ingredients, especially the cream cheese, are at room temperature before starting. This will help in achieving a smooth and creamy texture for your cheesecake. If you notice cracks forming during baking, don't worry too much as they can often be covered with toppings or garnishes.
