Equipment

Ingredients

1 lbs Cottage cheese
2 cup Roasted pumpkin or canned
5 Eggs
1 tbsp Lemon juice freshly squeezed
1/4 cup Erythritol
3 tbsp Vanilla extract
2 tbsp Pumpkin spice
Salt pinch

Nut Crust

1 cup walnuts
1/2 cup pistachios
2 tbsp Water or 1 tbsp. melted coconut oil

Instructions

Prepare the Crust:Start by preheating your oven to 325°F and lining a springform pan with parchment paper (you can skip this if you want; I did not use it, and it is fine—just spray the pan with oil).In a food processor, pulse the walnuts and pistachios until fine, like flour consistency. Then, add 2 tablespoons of water (or 1 tablespoon of melted coconut oil) to create a paste. Press the mixture into the bottom of the pan and bake for 10-12 minutes at 350 F until golden and slightly firm.
Blend the Filling:In a high-speed blender, blend the pumpkin puree, cottage cheese, erythritol, eggs, pumpkin spice, vanilla extract, and a dash of salt.Blend until fully incorporated.
Bake the Cheesecake:Pour the creamy filling over the pre-baked crust and smooth it out. To avoid cracks in the cheesecake, place the baking sheet with water underneath it to ensure it bakes evenly and stays moist.Bake at 350°F for 60 minutes until the edges are set and the center slightly jiggles.Always cool the cheesecake in the oven to prevent sinking! This slow cooling process also helps prevent cracks.
Chill and Serve:Refrigerate the cheesecake overnight to fully set.Serve each slice with a sprinkle of extra pumpkin spice or a dollop of homemade whipped cream and macadamia cinnamon glaze (not keto).
