Ingredients
Scale
- 16 oz cream cheese
- 2/3 cup sweetener, like Swerve
- 3 eggs
- 2/3 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- pinch cloves
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1 tbsp flaxseed meal
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 1 tbsp sweetener, like Swerve
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Grease a 9″ springform cake pan, or prepare a 9″ round cake pan.
- Combine almond flour, flaxseed meal, sweetener, and salt in a mixing bowl. Stir well to break up any lumps in the almond flour.
- Add the melted butter to the dry ingredients, and stir to combine. Press down flat into the bottom and up the sides of the pan.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, until just beginning to brown. Remove, and let cool at least 10 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add pumpkin puree, eggs, sweetener, salt, vanilla, and the spices. Stir together until well combined.
- Pour the cheesecake batter into the crust. Spread out evenly and place in oven for about 45-55 minutes.
- Check the cheesecake for doneness, removing when the center still jiggles a bit when you tap the side of the pan.
- Remove from the oven. Let cool on the counter for 30 minutes, then cover and chill in the refrigerator for 4 hours.
Notes
- To unmold, run a thin paring knife around the edge of the cheesecake to help release it from the pan.
- If your cake is really stuck, place the entire cake pan into a hot water bath for about 15 seconds.
- For clean slices, place your knife into a hot water bath before slicing, and wipe dry each time.
- If using a springform pan and want the crust to reach all the way up the sides, you can double the crust recipe.
