Ingredients in Keto Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars

• Almond flour
• Confectioners Keto sweetener such as Monkfruit or Swerve

• Eggs
• Vanilla Extract

How to Make Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars?

To make the crust we stir melted butter, almond flour and confectioners sweetener together to form a soft, buttery crust. Lightly press the dough into an even layer in the bottom of a foil lined 8×8 pan and bake for 7 minutes and 350 degrees F.

While the crust is pre-baking you can prepare the layers. The vanilla cheesecake layer is just cream cheese, egg, keto-friendly confectioners sweetener and vanilla extract. You can use an electric mixer to beat the ingredients until they form a smooth consistency, if you prefer. 

When the crust has cooled completely, spoon out half of the cheesecake mixture and spread evenly over the crust. 

Blend the pumpkin puree and pumpkin spice into the remaining cheesecake mixture for the pumpkin layer. Spread the pumpkin layer over the vanilla cheesecake layer. 

Lastly, combine the butter, pecans, almond flour, keto brown sugar sweetener and cinnamon in a small blender or food processor until a crumb mixture forms. Sprinkle over the cheesecake. Bake for 30 minutes. Allow the cheesecake to cool completely before slicing. 

How to Store Pumpkin Cream Cheese Bars

Store these Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars loosely covered with plastic wrap in the refrigerator. These bars are good up to one week after making. This is an ideal dessert to make for a holiday meal because it can be made several days in advance. 

Can I Freeze Cheesecake Bars?

Absolutely! Cheesecake bars freeze perfectly. You can freeze the bars whole, of cut them into individual portions before freezing. Here are the steps to follow for freezing perfect cheesecake bars so the taste and texture is not compromised. 

1. After cooking your cheesecake bars allow them to cool completely.
2. Slice and wrap your individual servings tightly with plastic wrap. Alternatively, if you are freezing the entire cheesecake place it in a dish or on a cardboard base and wrap tightly with plastic wrap.
3. Wrap the plastic wrapped cheesecake with foil to prevent freezer burn.
4. When ready to thaw allow the cheesecake to thaw at room temperature for 2-4 hours, or overnight in the refrigerator. 

Do I have to use almond flour?

Yes, this recipe has its best taste and texture when almond flour is used. Coconut flour is not a 1:1 substitution for almond flour and I do not suggest it for this recipe.

Tips for Making Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars

1. Allow the crust to cool completely before adding the cheesecake layers. It is a soft, buttery crust and if you spread the cold cheesecake over the warm crust before it cools and sets your crust will tear. 
2. For the best cheesecake texture use room temperature cream cheese and eggs.
