You only need a few ingredients for this easy keto low carb pumpkin pie recipe with almond flour crust. It will be your favorite sugar-free pumpkin pie!
It’s officially the first week of fall! Are you making everything pumpkin yet? The Midwest has been having its usual identity crisis, alternating cool, rainy days with hot, humid ones. That’s not stopping me from being in a pumpkin mood, though. I already made healthy pumpkin muffins a couple weeks ago. This week, I’m testing pumpkin bars and finalized this keto low carb pumpkin pie.
With the holidays coming up, you’ll need a good sugar-free pumpkin pie recipe! The nice thing about this one is, it tastes like a regular pumpkin pie, so the whole family will eat it. I served pumpkin pie cupcakes last year, but this time I think I’ll try a real, full sized pie.

OPTIONS FOR EASY KETO PUMPKIN PIE

My top priority for an easy low carb pumpkin pie was for it to be as simple as possible. Complicated desserts are just not for me. The good news is, it was actually really easy to make a pumpkin pie recipe sugar-free. All I had to do is use a low carb crust and sweetener.
The version I came up with uses common ingredients, which is nice. The only one that is possibly less common is the powdered sweetener, but if you do even a little low carb baking you’ll probably have that one around. If not, you could also run any granulated sweetener through a food processor until it has a powdered consistency.
The keto pumpkin pie filling has only five ingredients, plus optional vanilla extract and molasses. Both of these add a lot of flavor, so I recommend including them if you can. The carbs they contribute are negligible, since the amount is so small and spread across the entire recipe.
You can make this into a paleo pumpkin pie by using coconut cream instead of heavy cream. That’s an easy substitution. Other than that, if you need another sweetener to consider it paleo-friendly, that’s not a problem. Something like coconut sugar should work just fine, preferably ground up to a finer consistency.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 recipe Almond flour pie crust (or your favorite pie crust recipe)
• 1 15-oz can Pumpkin puree
• 1/2 cup Heavy cream (or coconut cream for dairy-free/paleo)
• 2 large Egg (at room temperature)
• 2/3 cup Powdered erythritol
• 2 tsp Pumpkin pie spice
• 1/4 tsp Sea salt
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract (optional)
• 1 tsp Blackstrap molasses (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Make the sweet almond flour pie crust .
Meanwhile, beat together all remaining ingredients at medium-low speed, until smooth. (Don't overmix.)
2. When the pie crust is done baking, reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F (163 degrees C). Cool the crust on the counter for at least 10 minutes, longer if you have time.
Pour the filling into the crust. Gently tap on the counter to release air bubbles.
3.Bake for 40-50 minutes, until the pie is almost set but still slightly jiggly in the center. (Check on it occasionally, and if you see the crust start to brown, cover the crust edge with foil and return to the oven until the filling is done. It should still jiggle a bit in the center, like a custard before it sets.) Cool completely on the counter, then refrigerate at least an hour before slicing. Pie can be refrigerated overnight.
