Sugar-Free Layered Pumpkin Cheesecake is definitely the recipe that symbolizes Thanksgiving for me the most! For years I made this with sweetener combined with a small amount of brown sugar and called it Low-Sugar Pumpkin Cheesecake. But now that I’ve discovered Monkfruit Sweetener I use that and skip the brown sugar! And when it’s made with Monkfruit or another type of granulated zero-carb sweetener, this layered pumpkin cheesecake is a perfect Thanksgiving dessert for anyone who’s watching their sugar intake.

I like to make this cheesecake in a Springform Pan (affiliate link) and I tried it in two different-sized pans. Choose the size of pan you prefer for this tasty Thanksgiving favorite! And for people who are still narrowing down the menu options for the big day, I am reminding you about this tasty layered cheesecake!

What if you don’t want to use Monkfruit Sweetener?

Monkfruit is a plant from Asia that’s much sweeter than sugar, so all Monkfruit sweeteners are combined with another ingredient. The Lakanto Monkfruit Sweetener I like so much is combined with erythritol. That’s a sweetener that isn’t digested by the body, so it has zero calories and zero net carbs. Some people are sensitive to erythritol and may prefer another brand of Monkfruit or a different sweetener. Any granulated sweetener that measures 1:1 like sugar should work in this recipe.

How low in carbs is the Sugar-Free Layered Pumpkin Cheesecake?

I recently discovered that some of my oldest recipes using Monkfruit Sweetener were not calculated correctly by the nutritional calculator in the recipe plug-in I use on my site. And when I re-calculated the nutrition information for this recipe I was happy to discover that when you cut the cheesecake into eight servings it has only 4.3 net carbs per serving, with 5.2 grams of protein. I have corrected all the nutrition info in the complete recipe below.

What if you don’t have a Springform Pan?

The biggest advantage to using a Springform pan is that it’s easy to remove the finished cheesecake. It also shows off the layers nicely and is the perfect way to make cheesecake without a crust. But if you don’t have a Springform Pan and don’t want to buy one (and don’t care if the finished cheese cake looks quite as perfect when it’s removed from the pan) you can make this in a cake pan.

Sugar-Free Layered Pumpkin Cheesecake can be made with Monkfruit Sweetener or any granulated sweetener of your choices that measures 1:1 like sugar. And this is a layered pumpkin cheesecake that's very low in carbs!

Ingredients

Instructions

Notes

You can use full-fat or reduced fat cream cheese, but nutritional info is for full-fat cream cheese.

You can use Monkfruit sweetener or Golden Monkfruit Sweetener for this recipe. I'm a fan of Lakanto Monkfruit Sweetener, but you can use any granulated sweetener that measure 1:1 like sugar if you're not a Monkfruit gan.

If you're not that concerned about carbs, you can also use 1/4 cup sweetener and 1/4 cup brown sugar for a low-sugar version.

Nutritional information is calculated for the sugar-free cheesecake. (In 2025 I discovered that some of the nutrition information was originally calculated incorrectly by the nutrition calculator that's used in the recipe plug-in I have on my site. That has been corrected, and I apologize for the mistake.)

This recipe originally from AllRecipes with adaptations by Kalyn.

Low-Carb Diet / Low-Glycemic Diet / South Beach Diet Suggestions:
Pumpkin has some carbs, but with the corrected nutritional information this Sugar-Free Layered Pumpkin Cheesecake made with Monkfruit sweetener calculates to 4.3 net carbs! That’s based on 8 servings, which would be a small serving for some people so adjust accordingly. If you used sweetener and low-fat cream cheese this could be phase 2 or 3 for the original South Beach Diet.

Historical Notes for this Recipe:
A variation of this recipe was first posted in 2006, and it’s been popular since then! It was a a work-in-progress for a few years and I updated the recipe when I found better sweeteners or got smart enough to make it in a springform pan. The recipe was last updated with more information in 2025, after I discovered the nutrition information was slightly incorrect.
