This keto pumpkin cheesecake is low carb heaven! Rich and creamy with a deliciously spiced pumpkin cheesecake swirl, this sugar free dessert is stunning and perfect for fall, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.
What Makes This Recipe So Good
- This creamy, decadent pumpkin cheesecake is super easy to make, so it’s a perfect make-ahead holiday dessert.
- With no added sugar, plus low carb, keto, and gluten free, it works for a variety of different dietary needs, but is delicious enough for the whole family to enjoy!
- This recipe uses erythritol as a sugar replacement. Erythritol is great for keto recipes because it tastes so close to the real thing, yet has no calories and doesn’t affect blood sugar!
Chef’s Tips
- Be sure to use traditional, full-fat cream cheese. Low fat or neufchâtel cheese may be tempting, but they have more of a tart, tangy flavor than regular cream cheese. Plus, if you’re on keto, you’ll want the extra fat in your dessert!
- Make sure to let your cream cheese reach room temperature before mixing. This will help ensure your batter is smooth and less lumpy.
- Try topping your keto pumpkin cheesecake with keto whipped cream from our sister site, Easy Healthy Recipes.

Keto Pumpkin Cheesecake
Ingredients
For the Crust
- 2 cups blanched almond flour
- ⅓ cup butter measured while solid, then melted
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons erythritol either granular or powdered
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Filling
- 3 8-ounce packages cream cheese 24 ounces total, softened
- 1 cup powdered erythritol
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 eggs
- ¾ cup pumpkin puree
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350º F. Grease a 9 in (23 cm) springform pan or line the bottom with parchment paper. To make the crust, stir the almond flour, melted butter, erythritol, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl until well combined. Press the dough into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for about 8-10 minutes, until barely golden, then let cool at least 10 minutes.
- Mix together the cream cheese, 2/3 cup erythritol, and vanilla in a medium bowl just until smooth.
- Mix in eggs one at a time, mixing well after adding each one. Set aside 1 cup of the mixture.
- Mix 1/3 cup erythritol, pumpkin, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice into the remaining mixture.
- Spread the pumpkin batter into the crust.
- Dollop the cream cheese batter by spoonfuls onto the top.
- Swirl with a knife to create a marbled effect. Bake 45 minutes or until filling is set and center is just barely jiggly. Turn off oven but keep oven door propped open for 10 minutes. Remove and allow to cool to room temperature. Run a knife around the edge of the pan before removing pan rim. Chill for at least 4 hours before serving.
- Cream cheese notes: Use traditional, full-fat cream cheese. Make sure to let your cream cheese reach room temperature before mixing. This will help ensure your batter is smooth and less lumpy.

I did not like how the measurements were 3/5 , 1/7 , 2/5….I dig not like at all. Even if it taste good to complicated for me.
Hi, Anna! Those measurements aren’t part of our recipe. Did you adjust the number of servings by chance? That would change the amounts and depending on the number of servings you selected, it could generate some wonky measurements like that.
Did you just bake the cheesecake right in the oven? Or did you do the normal bake in water?
Hi there! There is no water bath required for this recipe. Be sure to let us know if you try it! 😊
