Keto Pumpkin Cheesecake Pie

This velvety smooth keto pumpkin cheesecake pie is the one recipe you want to be certain makes it to your holiday table. It’s a sugar-free pumpkin cheesecake recipe that is low in carbs, keto-friendly, and flat-out delicious! 

A slice clocks in at 5.5 net carbs per serving, making it a fraction compared to regular pumpkin cheesecake, which has a whopping 40 net carbs per slice.

With that being said, this rich and creamy pie is simple enough to serve year-round. Unlike other cheesecake recipes, this one doesn’t require a water bath, making it super easy to make.

Who says we can’t have pumpkin pie any time we are in the mood for this traditional favorite?

What I love most about this low-carb pumpkin cheesecake is that it’s one your entire family will enjoy. Trust me when I tell you that they won’t even know it’s a sugar-free pumpkin pie unless you decide to brag about it.

The fact that it can be served to everyone is something that, in my world, is a major win.

Packed with pumpkin spice flavors, this keto dessert will make it easy to stay on track during the holidays. Following a low-carb diet shouldn’t be extra tricky during the holiday season with a little planning.

There’s no need to feel like you’re missing out on pumpkin season just because you went keto with this satisfying option.

Low-Carb Pumpkin Cheesecake

Because most people tend to overindulge during the holidays, giving your loved ones the ability to enjoy a keto treat that’s guilt-free will be a treat they will embrace.

During pumpkin season, there are so many tempting high-carb options, and if you’re not careful, you’ll fall for the temptation.

It’s easy to rationalize why it’s okay to indulge in traditional fare.

But staying on course throughout the holidays is a must if you’re hoping for long-term results.

Be prepared and stay on track during the holidays; otherwise, you could completely derail your progress.

Lisa Pantoja, who was a member of the Fittoserve Group that used to meet monthly at our church, shared her recipe for sugar-free pumpkin pie with the group.

She knew her family’s favorite recipe would need a low-carb makeover now that she had gone keto.

Thankfully, her pumpkin keto cheesecake pie is EXACTLY what she was hoping for, and she was generous enough to share it here for us all to enjoy.

How To Make A Keto Pumpkin Cheesecake

This keto pumpkin pie with cream cheese has the velvety smooth texture of pumpkin pie, with the richness of the cheesecake. What’s not to love?

What’s especially nice is how her recipe is super simple to put together. Easy keto is vital at any time of year, but during the holidays? Well, it’s a requirement.

Because who doesn’t need easy keto holiday desserts? If a recipe calls for super complicated steps and ingredients, chances are you won’t make it, and then you will not have an option that will help you stay on course.

I’m confident her pie will help you navigate the holidays when the temptation to cheat is at an all-time high with all the sweet treats around.

Having recipes like this low-carb pumpkin cheesecake pie will make you feel like you’re in control of your cravings and not the other way around.

Tips For Making a Keto Pumpkin Cheesecake

When it comes to making this pie crust, it’s also super easy, and there is no need to use a food processor.

As far as ingredients for the crust go, you have a couple of options. You can use a combination of pecan meal and almond flour the way the recipe is written, or use all pecan or make an entirely almond flour crust instead.

You’ll mix the flour of choice with melted butter, and then the crust mixture is simply pressed into the bottom of the pan—it could be an 8-inch pie pan or springform pan—and then gets baked with the cheesecake mixture, just like regular cheesecake.

In either case, you are getting a buttery, richly flavored crust. It’s vital you make certain that you are using pumpkin puree and not pumpkin filling in the recipe.

You want the canned puree that has no sweetener and not the filling that is loaded with sugar. Although not the original recipe, I like adding the orange extract to pumpkin pies.

It’s something my daughter, Michelle taught me. The hint of orange flavor really brings out the pumpkin flavor.

This recipe calls for pumpkin pie spice for ease, but if you prefer, you can make your own pumpkin pie spice blend.

Just add one teaspoon of cinnamon powder, 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger, 1/8 teaspoon of clove powder, and 1/8 teaspoon of allspice.

As for the pumpkin cheesecake filling, it’s important all the ingredients are at room temperature so that when you use an electric mixer (hand mixer), it all blends perfectly for you. 

Feel free to add dollops of whipped cream around the edges of the cheesecake for a more festive presentation.

Sugar-Free Sweetener Options

As far as which sugar substitute to use for this sugar-free pumpkin cheesecake, I have a few recommendations.

Lakanto Monk Fruit Classic is their white version, and it’s my go-to option whenever a recipe calls for granulated white.

It’s my favorite since the texture and flavor are what I have found to be the closest to real sugar. The brand Swerve, which is an erythritol blend, also makes a great white granulated sugar substitute. 

You could also use the stevia and erythritol-based brand Pyure if you prefer to use a granulated white stevia-based sweetener.

Note that if this is your choice, make sure you reduce the amount called for in the recipe by half since it’s a much sweeter option.

I like pumpkin pies but most of my family is “1 slice is more than enough”. I have a smaller springform pan than what is called for in recipe, which is a great size for not having lots of leftovers. Halve the recipe? Bake time?

Hilda Solares

Hi Marge,I think reducing the recipe to half, using a small egg, and baking the crust for 8-10 minutes should work well.

Judy

Tuesday 22nd of November 2022

want to clarify...is it 1/2 can of pumpkin and the can is a 15 oz can? also it says 3 tsps of pumpkin pie spice which seems like a lot...somewhere in comments i saw someone mistakenly think they saw 11 tsp not 1..but i see it says 3...i would suggest if you bake 25-30 mins leave in unopened oven after shutting off for another 30 mins to continue cooking..thats how i make my regular cheesecake..375 for 30 mins then shut off oven and leave 1 hour..sounds good...

Hi Judy, yes the recipe calls for half a can of pumpkin puree (7.5 ounces), and the 3 teaspoons of pumpkin spice are correct. You could of course use less if you prefer.

Have you ever used allulose for the sweeter?

Hilda Solares

Monday 27th of December 2021

Hi Mitzi, I have not tested allulose in this recipe but it should work well. Just note that it's not as sweet as other sugar substitutes.

This came out beautiful! Thank you 🙏🏻 however, the baking time had to be quite severely adjusted as it bakes a lot longer than 20 minutes, I don’t think it’s a difference in oven temps. The sugar substitute was also not included in the active part of the recipe, so it may be good to adjust your posted recipe! Thank you again for this, I’m excited to eat it! We don’t have to miss out on anything on Keto

@Hilda Solares, Hi! Can I make this crustless? If so, do you know what the info on the nutrition would be? Thank you!!!

Hilda Solares

Sunday 14th of November 2021

Hi Devon, Thanks for mentioning the sugar substitute not in the active part of the recipe. I corrected this. We tested it again and it was closer to 25-30 minutes for us. I adjusted the recipe to reflect this.

Made the pumpkin cheesecake this morning..just had a piece, the hardest thing was waiting for it to chill! SO GOOD! I tweaked the crust, used all almond flour as you suggested if we didn't have the pecan flour...also added about 1/4 cup golden sweetener. I also used golden sweetner in in the cheesecake part but cut it to 1/2 cup. ( I use Anthony's golden Erythritol/monk fruit) Thanks for all the great recipes! I used a 8 by 8 square pan and cut into squares. Husband loves it too.
