Low Carb Keto Pumpkin Cheesecake Recipe - No Bake No Fuss! (2024)

This low carb pumpkin cheesecake dessert recipe is so fast and easy that I often whip it up on the spur of the moment. You can even make it without the crust and spoon into dessert dishes for only 2 net carbs per serving! The ultimate pumpkin spice comfort food!

A Low Carb Keto Pumpkin Cheesecake Recipe So Fast, Easy and No Bake!

As a working mom I am always looking for ways to save time. This no bake Low Carb Keto Pumpkin Cheesecake recipe was probably the fastest and easiest keto dessert recipe that I’ve ever made. No baking required!

This past weekend we celebrated Canadian Thanksgiving and over the years I’ve tried various low carb keto thanksgiving dessert recipes with mixed results.

My favorite low carb keto cheesecake recipe was just too much work this year with all the commitments I had so when a friend mentioned she was making a no bake pumpkin cheesecake recipe this year, a lightbulb went off in my head!

I looked at the no bake pumpkin cheesecake recipe on 12Tomatoes and I knew that I could Ketofy it. I’m sure that’s not a word, but anyways, this was pretty easy to do!

How Many Carbs in Pumpkin?

There’s no doubt about it, pumpkin has carbs from naturally occurring sugars.

1 cup of pumpkin (which is what we are using here) has 12 carbs and 3 grams of fiber, for 7 net carbs. Don’t forget this is divided into 10 servings, so less than 1 carb per serving comes from a very healthy source.

What is the best crust for this low carb pumpkin cheesecake dessert?

It’s going to be yummy no matter what option you choose!

I’m going to give you two crust options for the cheesecake. The nut crust is delicious, it’s a raw cashew nut crust that I used to make during my raw food days (now there’s a weird twist to my life!).

The nut crust is a perfect low carb keto pie crust that is also gluten free.

Then you will see an almond flour crust recipe that is faster and lower in carbs.

Low Carb Cashew Nut Pie Crust Recipe

• 1 1/2 cups raw cashews (important that they are unsalted and unroasted)
• NOTE: Cashews are carby but this is a treat right! Feel free to use your preferred nuts!
• 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon granulated erythritol (I like the So Nourished brand)
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Combine all ingredients except coconut oil in a food processor with ‘S’ blade and process until the nuts are ground pretty fine. Add the coconut oil only 1 tbsp at a time and pulse until a kind of dough ball is formed. Depending on fat content of nuts, you might not need all the coconut oil, or you might need a little more.

Press cashew mixture into a bottom of 9 inch pie plate. Set aside in the fridge.

Note: Macadamia nuts are excellent in this recipe. But super spendy!

You can also tweak this recipe according to your likes, for example you can use a mix of cashew nuts and almond meal or unsweetened coconut flakes.

Alternative Lower Carb Almond Flour Crust

I use this basic crust for many desserts and it’s fast and easy and much lower in carbs and calories than a nut crust.

In a bowl, mix together 1 cup almond flour, 2 tbsp butter and 1 tsp cinnamon. Press into a glass pie plate and set aside.

Note#2: If you are doing nut free keto then just skip the crust! That lowers the carbs and calories even further and this is still a very satisfying, yummy Keto Pumpkin Cheesecake all on it’s own.

I LOVE serving this dessert in small mason jars! So cute!
