Ingredients
CRUST
- 2 cups finely ground almond flour
- 1/3 cup monkfruit/or erithrytol
- 1/4 tsp maple extract
- 1/4 tsp stevia powder
- 6 Tbsp butter; softened
PUMPKIN CREAM CHEESE SWIRL
- 1/4 cup 100% pumpkin puree
- 1 oz softened cream cheese
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp monkfruit sweetener
- 1 tsp coconut flour
- 1/4 tsp pumpkin spice
BASE CREAM CHEESE FILLING
- 1 8oz package cream cheese; softened
- 1/4 cup monkfruit sweetener/or other granulated sweetener
- 1 large egg
- 2 Tbsp heavy cream
- Juice of one medium lemon approx. 2 to 2.5 Tbsp
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp almond extract
Instructions
- Make the crust first!
- Combine all of the crust ingredients in a large bowl with a fork, mashing and stirring until combined.
- Take out 1 cup of crust mixture and set aside.
- Press remaining crust mixture into the bottom of an UN-greased 8×8 pan that is lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 15 minutes.
- Set aside to cool for 20 minutes.
- Now make the pumpkin filling!
- In a medium bowl with a hand mixer, mix pumpkin with softened cream cheese and egg.
- Once smooth add in monkfruit, coconut flour, and pumpkin spice. Set aside.
- Now make the base cream cheese filling!
- In a large bowl cream the cream cheese and granulated sweetener with a hand mixer until smooth.
- THEN add in egg, heavy cream, lemon juice and extracts. Mix very well.
- Spread filling onto the COOLED crust.
- Now pour on the pumpkin filling from earlier.
- Run a knife through both fillings swirling around gently. Less is better to maintain swirl.
- Be careful not to pierce and disturb the crust, it is still fragile at this point
- Lastly, crumble and sprinkle the remaining crust ingredients on top of it all that you reserved from the beginning.
- Bake at 350F for 35 to 40 minutes until it is not visibly jiggly and toothpick tests with a few crumbs.
- Cool 1 hour then place in the fridge overnight, or 8 hours.
