Keto Pumpkin Cheesecake (FM)
Recipes | November 17, 2018
*Makes about 9 medium-size pieces of Cake
Ingredients for the crust:
12 tbsp butter, softened (25 sec in microwave will do)
3 cups almond flour
5 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
3/4 cup erythritol
pinch of salt
Ingredients for the filling:
16 oz cream cheese, softened
7 oz pumpkin pure
3 large eggs
3/4 cup erythritol
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice
Ingredients for the topping:
1 – 1 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tbsp erythritol
cinnamon
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350F degree and line a 9×9 inch (2 inch deep) baking pan with parchment paper.
- Combine all the ingredients for the crust in a large mixing bowl and mix until very well combined. Use your hands. The dough should be moist with chocolate color and flavor.
- Press the dough into the bottom of the baking pan. Make sure it’s even. Then place the baking pan into the preheated oven and bake the crust for 8 minutes. Remove from the oven.
- Combine all the ingredients for the filling in a stand mixer (I use Kitchen Aid Mixer) and blend until smooth.
- Pour the filling into the baking pan right over the crust. It will spread itself evenly. Then just place it back into the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until set. You can try to jiggle the cake. If it’s jiggly all over but firm, it’s done. If the middle seems to be too soft, it needs a little more time to bake.
- Let the cake cool down completely for about an hour before you add the topping. Here’s how to do the topping:
- Pour the heavy whipping cream and 1 tbs erythritol into a high speed blender (I use Vitamix) and mix on high until it becomes thick. You can also use a handheld blender for this task.
- Spread the whipped cream across the cheesecake and sprinkle the top with cinnamon. Place into the refrigerator and let it cool down for another hour. Keep it refrigerated, it’s really good when it’s cold from the fridge.

Hi Zuzka,
I have been following your workouts since inception of your fitness videos back in BR days. Wondering what are your thoughts on Thomas DeLauer’s take on when to eat carbs pre or post workout when on a keto diet. I provided a link to his video. https://youtu.be/RBzDVLI33N8
Also, how long would a person have to be in ketosis before starting to incorporate some cheat meals with simple/starchy carbs but still bounce right back into ketosis.
As always, thank you for sharing your knowledge and experiences.

Hi Zuzka so I want to make the cheesecake for Thanksgiving this year, but I think I may have a problem. I have a handstand mixer and the bowl is 4.6 quart, will that be big enough for the ingredients to make the filling or do I need the 5 quart?

I think you’d be fine but you can also do it in batches. Do 1/2 and the the other 1/2.

I made this for dessert with a few modifications And it still came out delicious!
Instead of swerve I used Stevia, my husband doesn’t do well digestion wise with swerve.
I don’t have a 9 x 9 baking dish so I used my 9 inch spring form pan.
Everything came out perfect, big hit for Thanksgiving! I will definitely make this recipe again.

I made this yesterday and I followed the recipe really close but nobody liked the taste at all. It was too dense and compact. I wouldn’t say this was a good substitute for cheesecake. I make keto desserts all the time but this one was not a hit like my other ones. My advise for anyone looking for a good keto dessert recipe is to go to a site that specializes in food and test all their recipes

I do test every single recipe on this website and I do specialise in Keto. I’m sorry this recipe didn’t workout for you, but you don’t need to be rude.

Hi Zuzka, I’m really sorry if my comment sounded rude, I sincerely didn’t mean for it to come across that way. I was just stating what I thought but I probably should have worded it better. Really sorry about that. I apologize for that. I also don’t like it when people make rude comments in posts and comments so I totally understand where you’re coming from. Sorry about that.
