Low carb and made from crushed almonds β€” a great source of healthy fats with no non-keto ingredients.
β…“ cup
Erythritol sweetener

ΒΌ cup

1 large
Egg
Β½ tsp
Vanilla essence
ΒΌ tsp
Sea salt

Filling

1 can (15 oz)
Pumpkin puree
Use canned pure pumpkin β€” no added sugar or additives. Look for about 6g net carbs per serving.
Β½ cup
Heavy cream
Creates the rich, custard-like texture in the filling.
2 large
Eggs
β…” cup
Powdered erythritol
Dissolves smoothly into the filling for even sweetness.
2 tsp
Pumpkin pie spice
A mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and allspice. Store-bought or make your own.
1 tsp
Vanilla essence
ΒΌ tsp
Salt

Directions

  1. 1

    Prep the pan. Preheat the oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Line a round pie pan with parchment paper and lightly oil it.

  2. 2

    Make the crust dough. In a bowl, combine almond flour, sea salt, and erythritol. Add the melted ghee, egg, and vanilla. Mix well β€” use a food processor if needed to bring it together into a smooth dough.

  3. 3

    Press and bake the crust. Press the dough evenly into the bottom and sides of the pan. If it crumbles, press it back together. Poke holes in the surface with a fork to prevent bubbling. Bake for 10–12 minutes until golden.

  4. 4

    Cool the crust. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes while you prepare the filling. Reduce oven temperature to 325Β°F (165Β°C).

  5. 5

    Make the filling. In a bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, heavy cream, eggs, powdered erythritol, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, and salt. Beat until smooth.

  6. 6

    Fill and bake. Pour the filling into the cooled crust. Gently tap the pan on the counter to release air bubbles. Bake at 325Β°F for 45 minutes until set but still slightly jiggly in the center.

  7. 7

    Cool and chill. Let the pie cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour before slicing. Serve cold or at room temperature.

Tips

The pie firms up as it chills β€” don't worry if it looks jiggly coming out of the oven. For extra richness, serve with a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream. Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 4 days.
