What is better than pecan pie OR cheesecake? How about a pecan pie cheesecake? If you love both you don't have to pick just one because you get two for one in this decadent, delicious and creamy Keto Pecan Pie Cheesecake!

Fall is officially upon us and I can think of no better way to celebrate than with this keto dessert! A rich creamy cheesecake topped with real pecan pie filling. Sounds incredible, doesn't it?

This low-carb dessert is more involved than most treats but so worth it. It will make an impressive dessert for your Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's table!

Consider Using Allulose

Chilled desserts that use erythritol-based sweeteners tend to crystallize slightly and although adding glycerine helps minimise this effect, your caramel won't be super smooth. For very smooth results, swap the erythritol-based sweeteners for allulose. Allulose is a healthy low-carb sweetener, although it's less common and can be pricey. The carb count is the same as for erythritol, and it's as sweet as sugar. Unlike erythritol, it does not crystallize and is a great option in chilled desserts.

Note about Baking Temperature

Based on feedback from some of our readers, we changed the baking temperature from 325 F convention to 355 F convention. Although we received overwhelmingly positive feedback on social media from those who have made this recipe, there were a few people who reported under-baked cheesecake layer.

We want to make sure it works for everyone so we made a small adjustment. Slightly increasing the temperature will ensure even cooking without the risk of burning. Also, keep in mind that if you live in high altitudes you always need to increase the oven temperature by 25 F, so in this case it's advisable to add an extra 25 F.

Instructions

  1. Adjust the rack to the middle of the oven. To make the crust, combine the crust dry ingredients in a food processor.
  2. Mix in the butter and vanilla extract. Pour the crust mixture into a lined 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan and press halfway up the sides using your fingers use a flat bottomed cup to press the mixture into the bottom. Refrigerate the crust for 20 minutes. Note: It is important to press the crust up the sides of the pan also. Try to get it at least 3/4 of the way up. This will help hold the pecan pie filling once it is added to the cheesecake.

  3. Preheat oven to 160 °C/ 320 °F (fan assisted), or 180 °C/ 355 °F (conventional). To make the filling, in a large mixing bowl beat the cream cheese and sweetener with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add heavy cream, sour cream, vanilla, baking powder, cinnamon powder (if using) and salt. Beat until well combined. Beat in the eggs just until combined.
  5. Pour the cream cheese filling through a fine mesh sieve into the base it helps remove any large clumps that might spoil the cheesecake. Use an offset spatula to spread the batter evenly into the bottom.

  6. Put the cheesecake into the oven and bake in a large baking sheet filled with water (wrap outside of pan in a double layer of foil, covering the underside and extending all the way to the top.) Bake for 40 minutes.
  7. Once the cheesecake goes into the oven, begin working on the topping. Combine the brown sweetener, maple syrup, xanthan gum, and butter in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat until it reaches a boil, stirring constantly. Continue to boil for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool while the cheesecake is baking.
  8. Meanwhile, whisk the eggs (used in the topping layer), salt, and cream together; set aside. Once the cheesecake has baked for 40 minutes, remove it from the oven. Slowly whisk the egg mixture with the cooled syrup until well combined. Stir in the chopped pecans. Low-Carb Pecan Pie Cheesecake
