Ingredients You’ll Need (with Measurements)

For the crust:

  • 1 ½ cups almond flour
  • ¼ cup powdered erythritol (or preferred keto sweetener)
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

For the filling:

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (unsweetened)
  • ½ cup powdered erythritol (or monk fruit blend)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream, whipped to stiff peaks

This recipe can be made dairy-free by using vegan cream cheese and coconut cream instead of heavy cream, making it perfect for allergy friendly desserts.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Perfect No Bake Cheesecake

  1. Make the Crust
    In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, erythritol, cinnamon, and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a lined 9-inch springform pan. Place in the fridge to chill while you prepare the filling.
  2. Prepare the Filling
    In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add pumpkin puree, erythritol, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice. Beat until well combined and creamy.
  3. Fold in the Whipped Cream
    Gently fold the whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture until fully incorporated. This step is key to achieving that light, airy texture that makes this a perfect low cal pumpkin cheesecake.
  4. Assemble the Cheesecake
    Spread the filling evenly over the crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  5. Chill and Serve
    Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before slicing. Serve as is, or add a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Tips for the Creamiest Low Cal Pumpkin Cheesecake

  • Use room temperature cream cheese to avoid lumps.
  • Don’t overmix once you fold in the whipped cream—gentle folding keeps it light.
  • Chill overnight for the best texture and flavor.

Keto Cheesecake Recipes vs. Traditional Cheesecake

Traditional cheesecakes are loaded with sugar and high-carb crusts. In contrast, keto cheesecake recipes use low-carb sweeteners and almond or coconut flour crusts. You still get the creamy indulgence but with a fraction of the carbs, making it one of the best keto treats for the holidays.
