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.
