One thing I love about fall is how colorful it is. Not only are the leaves changing color but the grocery store has all those little pumpkins and gourds in different shapes and textures. I want to buy them all!
Fall is also the time I start making all of my keto pumpkin puree recipes like this no bake keto pumpkin cheesecake dip. My son’s birthday is October and we have a family party every year so try to make my keto party foods for it like this one. OMG salty bacon chips on their own are delicious but with the creamy sweet pumpkin cheesecake dip it’s heaven.
Bacon chips make a most delicious no carb keto snack as most brands of bacon have no carbs in it. And using bacon chips with this dip counterbalances the sweetness of the dip. Let me show you how I make them.
How To Make Keto Bacon Chips
These bacon chips are simply thick pieces of bacon cooked in the oven to keep them nice and flat to make good, sturdy chips.
The secret to these bacon chips is to buy thick cut bacon and cut through the whole pack with 3 cuts while it’s raw. You don’t want to cut individual slices as it is much harder to cut. Then bake it in the oven for about 40 minutes until crispy. You can see before and after pics below.
The thick cut bacon will ensure it’s nice and sturdy to dunk into the dip. I bought 1 ½ lbs and got 36 chips. You could probably cut it into 4ths and get 48 chips and they would still be big enough for the dip.

So this recipe is very similar to make low carb no bake cheesecakes. You basically cream together cream cheese, spices and Swerve sweetener. Then you add in the pumpkin puree and heavy cream and whip until nice and creamy. Easy peasy right?
How To Make A Pumpkin Serving Bowl
It’s really easy to make a pumpkin serving bowl for this low carb appetizer. I used a small pumpkin and cleaned it out for the container. If you get the right size, you can put a large ramekin inside so you won’t have to fill the whole pumpkin with dip.

Directions don’t have when to add pumpkin?
Denise
Hi Amy, thanks for bringing that to my attention. You add the pumpkin after you whip the cream cheese and before the heavy cream. I’ve fixed the recipe. I hope you enjoy it!
Jeanette Skalski
Hi! This looks so good! I’m looking forward to making it! Do you use the Swerve confectioners or granulated sweetener?
Denise
Hi Jeanette,
I use the confectioners most of the time but the granulated would work too. But if you have both, use the confectioners. I hope you enjoy it!

I don’t understand why it’s referenced as low carb. I mean one serving is a tablespoon right?
Each table spoon is 3.3 carbs. So most people eat A LOT of chips and dip when they eat them.
3 chips and dip and ur at almost 12 carbs! That only 3 chips with dip.
Who can eat only 3? Lol.
Denise
Hi,
Each tablespoon is 0.7g net carbs. You are looking at total carbs which some people go by but many people use net carbs which are total carbs – fiber. So you could eat 5 for only 3.5g net carbs. Hope that helps!
