Instructions
Base
Preheat the oven to 350°F/177°C. Line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper; set aside.
Combine almond flour, sweetener, HLTH Code Creamy Vanilla, butter, and salt in a bowl and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Press the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking dish and bake for about 12 to 15 minutes, until golden. Transfer to a wire rack and leave to cool completely.
For the Cheesecake Layer
Whisk cream cheese, sweetener, pumpkin puree, HLTH Code Creamy Vanilla, eggs, allspice, and ground cinnamon in a bowl until smooth.
For the Crumble Layer
Mix almond flour, sweetener, HLTH Code Chocolate Macadamia, pecans, and cinnamon in a bowl; add butter and rub it into the dry mixture until it resembles very coarse crumbs.
Spread the cheesecake layer over the cooled base and then top with the crumble. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for a few hours before cutting into 16 squares and serving.
