Ingredient Notes

  • Almond flour: Instead of a graham cracker crust, this almond flour crust is keto-friendly, is packed with protein, and still has the same crumbly texture! 
  • Unsweetened shredded coconut
  • Coconut oil: I use coconut oil instead of melted butter, but feel free to substitute if you desire. 
  • Monkfruit sweetener
  • Kosher salt
  • Heavy cream
  • Softened Cream cheese
  • Pumpkin puree
  • Pumpkin pie spice
  • Vanilla extract

Step-by-Step Instructions

Almond Flour Crust

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with 12 half-pint mason jars (or 24 4-ounce mason jars). Place parchment paper underneath for spills. 
  2. In your food processor, pulse together the almond flour, unsweetened shredded coconut, melted coconut oil, monk fruit, and kosher salt until it looks like wet sand and sticks together when you pinch with your fingers.
  3. Divide the crust mixture evenly among all the mason jars. The half-pint mason jars will get about 1.5 tablespoons of crust each. Gently press to make an even layer. It doesn’t need to be perfect, these are fine to be rustic since you’ll be eating the cheesecake right out of the jar.
  4. Bake the crust in the mason jars for 15-20 minutes until lightly golden brown. Cool completely. (If you want these to be truly no bake, you don’t need to bake the crust. You can eat it raw. It’s much tastier baked, though!).

Pumpkin Cheesecake Filling

  1. In your high-speed blender, add the monk fruit. Blend over high speed for 45-60 seconds until you’ve made powdered monk fruit. (Optional, but recommended for best results)
  2. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the heavy cream over medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 2-3 minutes. Set aside.
  3. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the cream cheese over medium speed until smooth, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the bowl and add in the pumpkin puree. Beat again over medium speed until combined and smooth, and there are no lumps. Add in the powdered monk fruit, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla. Beat with your electric mixer over low speed until fully combined.
  4. Add the whipped cream into the pumpkin cream cheese mixture, and gently fold in the whipped cream by hand with a spatula, trying not to deflate any of the air in the whipped cream. This will keep the cheesecakes light and fluffy.
  5. Divide the pumpkin cheesecake mixture between the cooled mason jars. Will fill them about 2/3 full.
  6. Refrigerate until completely cold and firmed up for at least 12 hours. It can be kept in the fridge for up to 2 days or frozen for up to 6 months. (If freezing, thaw overnight in the fridge before serving).

Whipped Cream Topping

  1. In your high-speed blender, add the monk fruit. Blend over high speed for 45-60 seconds until you’ve made powdered monk fruit. (Optional, but recommended for best results).
  2. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the heavy cream over medium-high speed until medium peaks form, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Add in the powdered monk fruit, vanilla extract, and kosher salt. Continue beating until stiff peaks form, another 1-2 minutes.

Expert Tips

  • Mason Jars: My favorite mason jars to use are these Kerr half pint mason jars. They’re cheapest at Walmart or Target if you’re able to find them in stock in store. There are enough jars to make 12 mini pumpkin cheesecakes. You can also use Ball 4-ounce mason jars,  using these will make 24 smaller cheesecakes. Both of these mason jars are freezer-friendly!
  • Cream Cheese: Bring the full-fat cream cheese to room temperature before making the cheesecake filling. This ensures it’s soft enough to blend!
  • Blending The Sweetener: Blending the monk fruit sweetener in a high speed blender to make a powder. This will give you the smoothest cheesecake filling and whipped cream. This is an optional step, but I highly recommend it for the best results. If you don’t have a high speed blender, you can skip this step. Be sure to beat the sugar in the pumpkin cream cheese mixture in step 3 for a few more minutes to get as smooth as possible. Otherwise, it may be a bit gritty.
  • Almond Flour Substitution: I’ve never tried it, but have heard tiger nut flour is a great almond free nut flour. You would use the same amount. Or, if you don’t need this to be keto friendly, you could crush up your favorite gluten free cookie like gingersnaps or gluten-free graham crackers. You will need 2 cups of crumbs all together, with 3 tablespoons coconut oil and 2 tablespoons monk fruit (or another granulated sweetener of choice).
  • Coconut Oil Substitution: You can use melted grass-fed butter or ghee in place of coconut oil when making the crust. Same quantities.
  • Topping With Whipped Cream in Advance: You can top these no bake keto cheesecake jars with the whipped cream as soon as they are firm, add the lids again, and refrigerate. The whipped cream will also get firm. This is a good option if taking to a cookout or dinner party, and you aren’t able to make the whipped cream right before serving.

Recipe FAQs

Can I use this easy keto cheesecake recipe to make a full-size keto pumpkin cheesecake?

Yes! Use a 9″ springform pan. I recommend lining the bottom and sides to prevent any sticking. You will still bake the crust at 350°F for 15-20 minutes. Serve individual slices topped with a little bit of whipped cream and a dusting of pumpkin pie spice. 

Can I use canned pumpkin pie filling instead of pumpkin puree?

Unfortunately, if you want to keep these cheesecakes keto, you’ll have to use pumpkin puree and follow the recipe as I have it. Pumpkin pie filling has added sugar that adds a ton of carbs. If you’re not worried about keeping it keto, you can use canned pumpkin pie filling and omit the additional spices, sugar, and vanilla.

Can I make these no bake keto cheesecake jars dairy free?

I haven’t tried this, but there are so many brands that make dairy-free alternatives to the ingredients I used in this recipe. Silk makes Dairy Free Heavy Whipping Cream, and Kite Hill makes dairy-free cream cheese. Use the same quantities for these substitutions. And if you try this, let me know how your dairy-free keto cheesecake jars turn out in the comments!
