Crust
- 1 bag HighKey Ginger Spice Cookies (See blog post for alternatives)
- 1 1/2 tbsp butter, melted
Filling
- 5 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 6 tbsp Swerve Confectioners, divided
- 1/4 cup pumpkin puree, room temperature
- 1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
Garnish
- Prepare the crust: Crush the mini cookies inside their bag using a kitchen mallet or rolling pin until you achieve fine crumbs with a few larger pieces. Transfer the crushed cookies to a bowl and toss with the melted butter to combine.
- Form the crust in glasses: Divide the buttered cookie crumb mixture evenly among 4 dessert glasses. Press firmly into the bottom of each glass to create a compact crust layer.
- Make the cream cheese mixture: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with 1/4 cup of the powdered sweetener until completely smooth. Add the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly to combine all ingredients.
- Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with the remaining powdered sweetener (about 3 3/4 tbsp) until stiff peaks form. Reserve approximately 2 tablespoons of this whipped cream for the topping later.
- Combine filling and cream: Gently fold the remaining whipped cream into the pumpkin and cream cheese mixture until no streaks remain, creating a light and fluffy filling.
- Assemble and chill: Spoon or pipe the pumpkin cheesecake filling evenly into the prepared glasses over the cookie crust. Refrigerate for about 1 hour or until the cheesecake is firm.
- Garnish and serve: Before serving, add a small dollop of the reserved whipped cream on top of each cheesecake and garnish with a mini ginger cookie for a decorative touch.
Notes
- If HighKey Ginger Spice Cookies are unavailable, substitute with any low-carb ginger snap or spiced keto cookie.
- Ensure cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy mixing and a smooth filling texture.
- Use pumpkin puree without added sugars or spices for the best keto compliance.
- Refrigerate the cheesecakes for at least 1 hour to allow them to set properly.
- For an extra festive look, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg on top along with the whipped cream garnish.
