Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars

Grain Free Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars (sugar free) is being republished from last year, because it’s one of my favorites and it’s easy. When my maple cream cheese bars became wildly popular, I thought grain free pumpkin cheesecake bars were in order.

I started with a pecan almond flour crust, pre-baked for 8 minutes and reminds me of a shortbread crust.

I learned a new thing today. In the other recipe, I brought the almond flour crust up the sides. In this recipe, I decided to only make the crust for the bottom. It works so well as I wanted more pumpkin cheesecake coming forward and not fighting all that crust.

I like making these in a long bottomless baking pan, but you could use parchment and make these in a square baking dish. If you want to make A LOT of these in a 13 x 9 pan for a crowd, then double the recipe. Don’t forget the parchment paper. I love these pre-cut parchment sheets I recently ordered on Amazon.

The Good News for Grain Free Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars

They are easy, and they freeze well, even with the stabilized whipped cream. Freeze on a tray, then place in a plastic bag. When ready to eat, just leave out on counter for about 30 minutes.

The best thing I like about these is portion control and having a dessert pre-cut for a crowd. At 2 net carbs and 96 calories, you could afford a pumpkin dessert every night in November or why not for breakfast.

Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars Low Carb

Nutrition Value for Grain Free Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars

I cut these into 16 servings. These bars are 134 calories (before whipped cream) and 1 net carb.

    Angela these are baking in the oven. If the finished product tastes half as good as the filling, they’ll be fabulous. That filling is the bomb! I would make it without the egg and eat it in pretty dessert dishes or ramekins. Thanks for this recipe.

    What a delicious alternative to a pumpkin pie! I have never cooked with swerve before – I’m so intrigued!

    […] This year I made pumpkin cheesecake bars and didn’t do a side crust, only a bottom. I loved it. You can head over there for that recipe. […]
