• pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 175 C / 300 F. In a bowl, mix blanched almond flour, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, cream of tartare and baking soda.
2. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, melted butter, Erythritol and stevia.
3. Transfer the egg mixture into the first bowl with the dry ingredients and process well. Spoon in the pumpkin puree and mix in well. You can either use fresh pumpkin to make your own puree or use canned pumpkin puree.
4. Juice and zest half of an orange and add the peel to the mixture.
5. In another bowl, prepare the cheesecake topping by mixing the cream cheese, egg, orange juice, Erythritol and stevia.
6. Add natural unsweetened orange extract, preferably propylene glycol-free.
7. Spoon the bread batter into a baking dish suitable for bread and distribute evenly using a ladle.
8. Add a layer using half of the cheese mixture on top of the bread batter and spread evenly.
9. Mix the remaining cheese mixture with the pumpkin puree and cinnamon.
10. Gently spoon the pumpkin cheese mixture on top and spread evenly. Transfer into the oven with a water bath and bake for 50-60 minutes. Keep an eye on the bread, as it may get burnt on top.
11. When done, open the door of the oven and let the bread slowly cool down. When it reaches room temperature, carefully remove from the baking dish and start serving!
12. Placing the bread in the fridge for a couple of hours or even overnight will make it firm and easier to cut. Enjoy!
