✨ Recipe Ingredients

For The Cups

  • 1 Egg White
  • 1/4 cup Butter (melted)
  • 1 3/4 cups Fine Almond Flour (I recommend this one – amazon)
  • 1/2 cup Swerve Brown Sweetener (amazon)
  • 3/4 teaspoon Ginger (ground)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/8 teaspoon Cloves
  • 3/4 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt

For The Filling

  • 1/3 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 2/3 cup Swerve Confectioners Sweetener (amazon)
  • 6 oz Cream Cheese (softened)
  • 1/3 cup Pumpkin Puree
  • 1 3/4 teaspoons Pumpkin Pie Spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract

👨‍🍳 How To Make

Follow this easy recipe:

Step 1

Start by preheating the oven to 325°F and lining a mini muffin pan with 24 silicone or paper muffin liners.

Step 2

We will start with the cup ingredients. Add these ingredients to a large bowl: almond flour, sweetener, cinnamon, ginger, baking powder, cloves, and salt. Whisk to combine.

Step 3

Add the egg white, melted butter, and vanilla and mix until the dough forms. Then roll it into 3/4 or 1 inch balls, pressing them into the bottom and sides of the prepared mini muffin cups.

Step 4

Bake for 17-20 minutes until puffed. The edges will become golden brown. Remove from the oven and let them cool for 15 minutes. Once they have cooled a bit, press into the centers to create a well.

Step 5

While the cups continue cooling, we will make the pumpkin filling. In a large mixing bowl, beat the powdered sweetener and cream cheese together until smooth. Then, beat in the pumpkin puree, vanilla, and pumpkin pie spice until well combined.

Step 6

Take another bowl and beat the heavy cream until it holds stiff peaks. Then fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Make sure to mix well until combined smoothly.

Step 7

Fill a piping bag with the filling and pipe into the cookie cups. Enjoy!

💡Tips

1. Keep an Eye on the Oven

Every oven is a bit different, so start checking your cups at the 15-minute mark. They should be puffed up and just starting to turn golden at the edges.

If they’re browning too quickly, place a piece of aluminum foil loosely over the top. This will prevent them from burning while allowing them to finish cooking.

2. Softening Cream Cheese 

For the smoothest cheesecake filling, make sure your cream cheese is properly softened. Take it out of the fridge at least an hour before you plan to use it.

If you forget, you can cut it into small cubes and leave it out for about 30 minutes. Avoid microwaving it to soften as this can create hot spots and affect the texture of your filling.

3. The Secret to Smooth Filling

When making the filling, mix the cream cheese and sweetener first until they’re completely smooth. Only then should you add the other ingredients. This prevents lumps and ensures a silky-smooth filling. 

FAQ

1. Can I freeze these cheesecake bites?

Yes, you can freeze these cheesecake bites. They freeze well for up to 3 months. To freeze, place them on a baking sheet in the freezer until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag or airtight container.

This prevents them from sticking together. When you’re ready to eat them, just move them to the fridge to thaw overnight.

2. Can I add nuts to the crust?

Absolutely! Adding nuts to the crust can give it extra crunch and flavor. Finely chopped pecans or walnuts work great with the pumpkin flavor.
