How to Make Keto Baked Pumpkin Cheesecake
Step One – The Biscuit Base
? If using whole almonds, grind the almonds to a powder in a mixer.
? Take it out in a bowl and add the remaining ingredients.
? Mix everything well until evenly combined.
? Place it on the baking pan and press down with a spoon or with your hands to form an even layer. You can use a 9 inch loose bottom pan or spring form pan.
? Bake it in a preheated oven for about 10-15mins at 190 degrees Celsius until the edges turn slightly golden.
? Take it out and let it cool.
Step Two – The Pumpkin Puree
? Core, peel and dice the pumpkins into small pieces.
? Place a pan over medium heat and add butter.
? Once the butter melts, add the diced pumpkin and roast it stirring.
? Occasionally until the pumpkin starts to caramelize / turn brown around the edges.
? Add the salt, 2 tbsp sweetener and water to the pot.
? Cover the pot and let the pumpkin cook until fork tender.
? Let this cool to room temperature and then with the help of a stick blender or mixer, puree the pumpkins.
Step Three – The Cheesecake Filling
? Take the eggs and sweetener in a bowl and whisk it with an electric whisk for a few minutes.
? Add in the cream and cheese next and whisk again until everything is well combined.
? Now add the pumpkin puree, cinnamon and nutmeg and give it a final whisk until it is smooth
? Pour this in the baking tray over the biscuit paste.
? If you are using a loose bottom pan, cover the outside of the pan nicely with two layers of aluminium foil.
? Place it on a water bath. (Take a bigger tray and fill it half with warm water)
? Bake the cheesecake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for about 40 minutes.
? Let this cool completely and chill it in the refrigerator for around 4-8 hrs before serving.
