How to Make Keto Pumpkin Pie
Step 1: Prepare the Crust
Preheat your oven to 350°F. In a bowl, mix almond flour, melted butter, sweetener, egg, vanilla extract, and salt until a dough forms. Press the dough evenly into a pie pan, then bake for 10 minutes until lightly golden. Let it cool while you prepare the filling.
Step 2: Make the Pumpkin Filling
In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin purée, heavy cream, eggs, sweetener, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth. Ensure there are no lumps for a perfectly creamy texture.
Step 3: Bake the Pie
Pour the filling into the cooled crust and bake at 350°F for 40-45 minutes, or until the center is just set. The pie should have a slight jiggle but not be liquid.
Step 4: Cool and Serve
Let the pie cool at room temperature before chilling in the fridge for at least 4 hours (overnight is even better). Serve with keto whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon!
Pro Tips for Making Keto Pumpkin Pie
- Don’t Overbake – The center should still have a slight jiggle when you take it out. It will set as it cools.
- Use the Right Sweetener – Erythritol, monk fruit sweetener, or allulose work best for keto baking.
- Chill for Best Texture – Refrigerating the pie helps the flavors develop and makes slicing easier.
- Make It Dairy-Free – Swap heavy cream for coconut cream if needed.
- Pre-Bake the Crust – This ensures the crust stays crisp and doesn’t get soggy from the filling.
How to Serve Keto Pumpkin Pie
This keto pumpkin pie is perfect for any holiday table! Here’s how to enjoy it:
- Toppings – Add a dollop of keto whipped cream or a dusting of cinnamon.
- With Coffee – Pair it with a hot cup of black coffee or keto-friendly latte.

This delightful dessert features a buttery almond flour crust filled with a creamy, perfectly spiced pumpkin filling, making it an ideal treat for those following a low-carb or ketogenic diet.

Ingredients
For the Crust:
- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons granulated erythritol or preferred keto-friendly sweetener
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
For the Filling:
- 1 ¾ cups pumpkin purée (ensure it’s pure pumpkin, not pie filling)
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup granulated erythritol or preferred keto-friendly sweetener
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
Prepare the Crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, melted butter, granulated sweetener, egg, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until a cohesive dough forms. Press the dough evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Use a fork to prick the bottom of the crust to prevent bubbling. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly.
Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin purée, heavy cream, eggs, granulated sweetener, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth and well combined. Ensure there are no lumps for a silky filling.
Assemble the Pie: Pour the pumpkin filling into the pre-baked crust, spreading it evenly.
Bake the Pie: Return the pie to the oven and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 40-50 minutes, or until the filling is set around the edges and the center has a slight jiggle. If the crust edges begin to brown too quickly, cover them with foil to prevent over-browning.
Cool and Serve: Once done, remove the pie from the oven and place it on a cooling rack. Allow it to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to fully set. Serve chilled or at room temperature, optionally topped with a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream
Notes
Sweetener Options: Feel free to use your preferred keto-friendly sweetener, such as monk fruit sweetener or stevia, adjusting the quantity to taste.
Dairy-Free Alternative: For a dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with full-fat coconut milk and use coconut oil in place of butter for the crust.
Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. The pie can also be frozen for up to 2 months; thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
Crust Variations: If you prefer a different crust, consider using pecan flour or a mixture of almond and coconut flours for a unique flavor and texture.
Spice Level: Adjust the amount of pumpkin pie spice according to your preference. Adding a pinch of ground cloves or nutmeg can enhance the flavor profile.

FAQs About Keto Pumpkin Pie
Can I make this pie without a crust?
Yes! You can bake the pumpkin filling in a greased pie dish for a crustless version that’s even lower in carbs.
What’s the best keto-friendly sweetener for pumpkin pie?
Erythritol, monk fruit sweetener, or allulose work great without affecting texture or taste.
Can I use coconut flour instead of almond flour?
Coconut flour isn’t a 1:1 substitute—it absorbs more liquid. If using, adjust by adding more eggs and moisture.
How do I know when my pumpkin pie is done?
The edges should be firm, but the center should have a slight jiggle. It will fully set as it cools.
