- Heat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 23 cm (9-inch) springform pan with baking paper. Mix the almond flour, 2 tbsp sweetener and ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice, then stir in the melted butter. 0:41
- Press the crust over the base of the pan and bake for 7–8 minutes, just until lightly browned. 1:29
- For the filling, mix the softened cream cheese, pumpkin purée, sweetener, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon and salt with a fork or hand mixer, then mix in the eggs until smooth. Taste and add a little more sweetener if you like. 2:26
- Pour the filling over the crust, scrape the bowl, and bake for 25–30 minutes until just set. 5:40
- Cool on the bench, then chill for a few hours or overnight. Slice and top with a little whipped cream. 6:32
Tip. The cook halves the recipe for a 6-inch pan. A small crack is normal; baking in a water bath prevents it. She also drizzles homemade keto condensed milk on top.
