Pumpkin Cheesecake In Nut Crust Recipes

KETO PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE WITH ALMOND PECAN CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Pulse almonds and pecans together in a food processor until ground, but not paste-like. Add sweetener and butter; pulse to combine. Press mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until crust is golden brown, about 10 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes.
• Blend cream cheese and 2/3 cup sweetener in food processor or with an electric mixer until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Mix in pumpkin, vanilla extract, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt until smooth, about 2 minutes more. Add in eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Pour batter into the prepared crust.
• Bake in the preheated oven until just set in the center, or when the filling jiggles but does not run, 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool completely, about 30 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of the cheesecake, cover, and refrigerate at least 4 hours, until ready to serve.

PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE IN NUT CRUST

Steps:

• For the crust, mix nuts with sugar, egg white, ginger and rind just until mixture is bound together. Press into bottom and a little up the sides of 10-inch spring-form pan.
• For the filling, lightly beat eggs and yolks; add softened cream cheese and sugar and beat until thoroughly mixed.
• Beat in cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice, lemon rind and cornstarch or flour. Beat in cream, vanilla and pumpkin.
• Pour into nut crust. Place pan of hot water in bottom of oven to keep cake from cracking. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 275 degrees and bake 50 to 60 minutes longer. When done, the cheesecake will look set, but the center might still be jiggly. It will set as it cools.
• Turn off heat and allow cake to cool in oven overnight, about eight hours. Then chill.
• Remove spring-form before serving and decorate cake with coarsely grated rind.
