Delicious Keto Pumpkin Pecan Cheesecake Bars

These cheesecake bars feature a buttery pecan crust topped with a creamy pumpkin cheesecake filling, spiced with warm pumpkin spices. The recipe takes about 60 minutes from start to finish and yields 12 bars.

Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups pecans, finely chopped
• ½ cup almond flour
• ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• ½ cup butter, melted
• ¼ cup erythritol or preferred keto sweetener
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
• ½ cup erythritol or preferred keto sweetener (adjust to taste)
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
2. Make the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped pecans, almond flour, cocoa powder, melted butter, erythritol, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form an even layer.
3. Bake the Crust: Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove and let it cool slightly.
4. Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the pumpkin puree, erythritol, eggs, pumpkin spice, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until fully combined and creamy.
5. Assemble: Pour the pumpkin cheesecake filling over the cooled pecan crust, spreading it evenly.
6. Bake: Return to the oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly firm to the touch.
7. Cool and Slice: Allow the bars to cool completely in the baking dish before lifting them out using the parchment paper. Slice into squares and serve chilled or at room temperature.
