Healthier Pumpkin Gooey Butter Cake (Sugar-Free!) Serves 8 A low carbohydrate version of Paula Deen’s beloved Pumpkin Gooey Butter Cake. You’ll never want to go back to pumpkin pie after trying this considerably more decadent pumpkin dessert! Crust Layer 1/4 cup of organic unsalted butter, melted 2 ounces of cream cheese, softened 2 cups (8 ounces) blanched almond flour 1 large organic egg 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 1/8 tsp sea salt 1/2 cup erythritol OR 1/3 cup xylitol*, powdered 1/4 teaspoon good tasting pure stevia extract (I use Mood and Mind) 1/2 teaspoon aluminum-free baking powder 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon Filling Layer 8 ounces cream cheese 1 stick unsalted organic butter, melted 1-15 oz can of pumpkin puree 3 eggs 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 1/2 cup + 2 Tablespoons erythritol OR 1/2 cup xylitol 1/4 teaspoon good-tasting pure stevia extract 1 and 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon 1 teaspoon nutmeg 1/4 teaspoon ginger Instructions Preheat oven to 350 degrees. For the crust Melt butter and soften cream cheese in microwave. Grind erythritol in coffee grinder and mix into batter. Mix together until smooth, then add vanilla, egg, and sea salt. Add stevia, baking powder, and almond flour. Scrape into an 8 by 8 metal pan and spread out over the bottom. Bake for 15 minutes and remove to cool. For the filling Soften cream cheese and melt butter in microwave. Grind erythritol in coffee grinder or magic bullet. Beat cream cheese and pumpkin until smooth and without lumps. Add eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter, and beat until incorporated. Next, add erythritol, stevia, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger, and mix just until smooth. Rap the pan down on counter top a couple times to get out air bubbles. Pour pumpkin mixture over crust and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until center jiggles a bit when you move the pan. It will set up and sink down upon cooling overnight in the refrigerator. Notes *Use xylitol at your own risk. I do not digest it well, but some people have no problems tolerating it. Start out consuming small amounts of xylitol to see if your body tolerates it well.
