Cheesecakes have always been a favorite of mine to serve. They are one of the easiest desserts to make sugar-free that taste like the regular ones.  Pumpkin Swirl Cheesecake s a favorite on mine, especially in the fall when all the pumpkins are ready to pick.

If you have never preserved pumpkin, let me tell you, it is very easy to do! This blog post Preserving Pumpkin gives you step by step instructions on how to process pumpkin. I can or freeze pumpkin so that we can have pumpkin treats anytime of the year!

These are the pumpkins and squash we harvested from our garden this fall. I love to mix the pumpkins and squash together when I cook them. It gives the best flavor to my baked items.

Pumpkin Swirl Cheesecake, THM-S, Keto, Sugar-free, Gluten-free

• Crust:
• 3/4 cup pecan meal, or fine pecan pieces
• 1/2 cup almond flour
• 2 tablespoons THM Gentle Sweet
• 4 tablespoons butter, softened
• Filling:
• 4 8-ounce packages cream cheese
• 1/3 cup THM Gentle Sweet
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 tablespoon coconut flour
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 4 eggs, beaten
• 1 cup pumpkin puree, I cook and mash my own pumpkins
• 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
• 4-6 drops Toffee-flavored Stevia drops
• Whipped Topping:
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
• 2 tablespoons THM Gentle Sweet
• cinnamon to garnish

Crust: Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease the sides and bottom of a 9 inch springform pan. Combine pecan meal, almond flour, THM Gentle Sweet, and butter. Press on the sides and the bottom of the pan. Bake for 12 minutes. Filling: In mixer bowl beat cream cheese until creamy. Add sweet mix, vanilla, coconut flour, and salt. Add eggs and mix until combined. Remove 1 1/2 cups cream cheese mixture to a separate bowl. Add pumpkin, spice, and Stevia drops. Spoon a layer of plain batter into the crust. Add half of the pumpkin batter. Repeat with remaining batter, ending with pumpkin on top. Swirl with a knife. Place a baking dish of boiling water on the bottom oven rack. Place the cheesecake on a rack directly above the boiling water. Bake at 325 degrees F. for 45-50 minutes. Remove and cool and a wire rack. Chill overnight for best flavors. Whipped Cream: Whip cream, xanthan gum, and THM Gentle Sweet until thickened. Spread over the top of the cheesecake or pipe in swirls. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Serves 12.

I used a cookie scoop to put the whipped cream on since I was in a hurry to get to church. It worked out well.

When I made this crust I used pecan pieces to give it a crunchy crust.We loved it that way. The pecans go so well with the pumpkin and spices.

I swirl the two batters together. This is how mine cheesecake looked when I put it in the oven. I do find that when you bake a cheesecake that is swirled like this it has a tendency to crack in the swirls. This happens even when you don’t bake it too long.

I took this cheesecake to a church Fellowship Meal…all I brought home was a tiny sliver. It was delicious! So smooth and creamy.
