Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F
- To make the crust stir melted butter, almond flour, sweetener and pumpkin pie spice 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.
- ALLOW THE CRUST TO COOL COMPLETELY
- While the crust is cooling prepare the layers. Combine the cream cheese, eggs, 1/2 cup keto confectioners sweetener and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixture until completely smooth.
- 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 30-33 minutes.
- Allow the cheesecake to cool completely and chill at least 2 hours before slicing.
