How to Make Keto Baked Pumpkin Cheesecake

? Take it out in a bowl and add the remaining ingredients.

? Add the salt, 2 tbsp sweetener and water to the pot.

? Cover the pot and let the pumpkin cook until fork tender.

Step Three – The Cheesecake Filling

? 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.
