These look so good! I’m going to try them today with pure stevia (I’m new to low carb and it’s all I have), and maybe omit an egg or use less pumpkin, since it will cut down so much on the dry ingredients? If you read this in time, let me know your thoughts, otherwise I’ll let you know how it turns out! I can’t wait!

Hi Emily! I think omitting an egg sounds like a good idea, and I would keep the amount of pumpkin the same. I haven't made this with stevia so I'm not sure how much to use for the same amount of sweetness -- hopefully you're a good judge of that :) Without the powdered sweetener in the filling, the volume will be less so you might end up with thinner layers. Hope it works out well for you!

If using a disposable aluminum pan is lining it necessary?

If using a disposable aluminum pan, make sure you carefully support it as you take it in/out of the oven since the cheesecake contents will be heavy.
Lining makes it a lot easier to lift the cheesecake out of the pan. You can skip the lining; it'll just make it harder to remove the cheesecake and cut into bars without messing it up.

just made this recipe and the house smells amazing! i used swerve granulated (didn't read the blog all the way through- my bad) hopefully will still be good. i'm about to place in refrigerator overnight and wondering what i should cover it with? foil, plastic?

Hi Joyce! You can cover it with foil or plastic, either will work. I've tried both and it doesn't matter which one you use. If you used Swerve granulated, it will likely be way too sweet since the recipe is designed for powdered erythritol (1 1/2 cups powdered erythritol is roughly as sweet as 3/4 cup granulated Swerve). It might also have a bit of crystallization since you used granulated form instead of powdered.

thanks for your reply- it was delicious and everyone loved it. i covered it first with parchment so it wouldn't stick, then foil. i've just frozen the individual bars in the same manner.

The recipe says to bake at 350 not 400. Isn't 400 a little too high. That's why it burned.

I cut my recipe in half, it was excellent, but i have to say the Almond crust i could do without. It was over powering. Thank you for great recipe.

Just saw the conversation. Made this with Truvia (spoonable) and used the nutri-bullet to powder it. I get to taste it in the morning. Just curious what you recommend for the conversion amount? I took an educated guess. Erythritol wasn't available locally and didn't have time to wait for it to ship. This was a practice run. Either way I'm so excited!

Is your particular Truvia sweetener a 1:1 conversion to sugar? It should say on the packaging how it compares to sugar. If it measures the SAME as sugar, I would use a little over 1 cup for the filling. If you prefer these bars on the sweeter side, you can add up to 1 1/4 cups. Another way to figure out the right conversion is to taste test the batter before baking. Hope that helps :)

It's 3/4 tsp trivia equals 2 tsp sugar. It turned out tasty but I think I could've used a little more in the filling. I adjust a little next time. Thanks!.

Delicious! I cut down the erythritol a bit and added 2 Tbsp. chopped pecans to the crust. So good.

I would like to half the recipe. What would you recommend for baking times?

I would start checking the cheesecake at 30 minutes to see if it has set yet. In the post above I have a paragraph about how to determine that.

I made this last night..... I let it sit overnight and had a slice with my coffee in the morning. Its not sweet at all, it was perfect. The crust was nice but needed a little flavor. I added vanilla extract to my filling, some cinnamon and pumpkin spice powder. Thanks for the recipe.

I was in a hurry and mixed all the filling ingredients together not separating out the cheese cake part...oops! But it turned out really tasty, but next time I will do it right and I'm sure that it will be even better.

Fantastic recipe! I made a small error of not dissolving the erythritol in the butter first for the crust - very important step so don't forget. Was very slightly grainy but I know to do this next time!
