I’m so excited to share these Keto and Low-carb No Bake Chocolate Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake Jars today guys. They are incredible!
So creamy and just the perfect hit of dark chocolate and warming pumpkin pie spice. It’s the ultimate speedy keto treat for fall… or if you’re like me, any day of the year!
These easy keto cheesecake jars can be whizzed up in just 15 minutes and great for a dinner party if you want a low-carb dessert that impresses without a big complicated recipe.
They're fail safe, so if you’re a keto beginner or not so much of an established low-carb cook, these No Bake Chocolate Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake Jars are perfect for you.
The only thing that could potentially go wrong is the ganache that may split if you mix it too soon or if you use refrigerated ingredients instead of room temperature. Even if your ganache splits, do not panic! You can fix it by using an immersion blender and processing until smooth and creamy.
I hope you enjoy them as much as I did… 6 times already!
Tips & Substitutions
We used 90% dark chocolate but any dark chocolate with at least 85% cacao is a good low-carb option. Although there is a small amount of sugar, the carb count is low and it's one of the ingredients that can be used in moderation when you follow a healthy low-carb diet. You can also use sugar-free chocolate sweetened with stevia or inulin.
This recipe is egg-free, nut-free and can easily be made dairy-free by substituting the mascarpone with coconut cream, and the heavy whipping cream with coconut milk. Instead of the butter you can use virgin coconut oil (this will result in crunchier, more set ganache once refrigerated).

- Spoon the mix into jars or pipe if you want to be fancy!
I used 150 ml/ 5.1 oz jars for 6 servings.
- Chill in the fridge for one hour. If you’re in a rush you can skip this step but I think it makes them nicer.

- To make the chocolate ganache heat the cream on a medium heat until hot (not boiling or bubbling though).
- Remove from the heat and add the butter and dark chocolate. Do not stir, leave it to soften undisturbed for about 5 minutes.
- After 5 minutes, whisk with a hand balloon whisk until melted and glossy.
