Keto Pumpkin Cream Pie

If you’re a fan of both pumpkin pie and pumpkin cheesecake, then this low-carb pumpkin cream pie is exactly what you need.

This recipe uses both cream cheese and heavy cream, giving this keto pumpkin cheesecake a more airy, creamy texture.

The only baking time for this recipe is for the crust. Once the crust is ready, you’ll add the creamy pumpkin filling and then allow the pie to chill for a minimum of two hours before serving.

Low-Carb Pumpkin Cream Pie

Because most people tend to overindulge during the holidays, giving your loved ones the ability to enjoy a keto treat that’s guilt-free will be a treat they will embrace. 

During pumpkin season, there are so many tempting high-carb options, and if you’re not careful, you’ll find yourself falling for the temptation.

It’s easy to rationalize why it’s ok to indulge in traditional fare. 

But staying the course throughout the holidays is necessary if you’re hoping for long-term results.

Be prepared and stay on track during the holidays by incorporating recipes like this creamy pie; otherwise, you could completely derail your progress.

The following is the list of ingredients needed. Note that the full printable recipe card, including the nutritional information,is at the bottom of the page,

Keto Almond Flour Pie Crust

For the almond flour crust, I recommend almond flour made from finely ground blanched almonds for a smooth and consistent texture.

I prefer using a reputable brand to avoid any potential inconsistencies.

The quality of butter also plays a significant role in creating that rich, buttery flavor. Opt for unsalted, grass-fed butter for optimal nutrition.

I add a small amount of cinnamon powder that helps mimic the flavor of graham crust.

Making the crust is easy. Once you combine all the ingredients, you’ll press the mixture into an 8-inch pie plate and bake.

Once the crust has cooled, you can add the pumpkin filling.

• Almond flour, finely milled
• Melted unsalted butter
• Sugar substitute for powdered sweetener
• Cinnamon powder
• Salt

Keto Pumpkin Cream Pie Filling

For the pumpkin cream filling, select a pure pumpkin puree that doesn’t contain any additives or sweeteners– this ensures an authentic pumpkin flavor without any hidden carbs.

When it comes to cream cheese, stick to full-fat varieties to maintain a rich and creamy texture in the filling.

Pick a high-quality, cold, heavy whipping cream to help achieve a thick, smooth consistency when mixed with other ingredients.

In addition to these primary ingredients, we also need a quality pumpkin pie spice, sea salt, and vanilla extract.

Make sure the pumpkin pie spice is fresh, and the vanilla extract is pure, not imitation, for the best possible flavor.

• Canned pumpkin puree or homemade pumpkin puree
• Cream cheese, room temperature
• Heavy cream
• Powdered sugar-free substitute
• Pumpkin pie spice or your homemade pumpkin pie spice

How To Make A Keto Pumpkin Cream Pie

To make this sugar-free pumpkin pie, you’ll begin by preheating the oven to make the crust.

Then in a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, almond flour, sweetener, cinnamon powder, and salt using a spatula or a wooden spoon.

Once you have a consistent dough, press the mixture into an 8-inch pie pan. Make sure the dough covers the bottom of the pan evenly.

Bake the crust for 10-15 minutes until it is lightly brown.

Once it’s done, set the crust aside to cool down.

With the crust prepared, it’s time to move on to the pumpkin cream filling.

Here’s how to prepare the filling:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, softened cream cheese, powdered sugar substitute, salt, and vanilla extract using an electric mixer. Blend until well combined.

Add the cold heavy cream to the pumpkin mixture and beat it with the electric mixer until stiff peaks form. This should take between 3-5 minutes.

Once the filling is ready, spread it into the prepared pie crust. Use a spatula to spread the filling evenly, ensuring a consistent smooth layer.

Storing Your Keto Pumpkin Cream Pie

Finally, refrigerate the pie for at least two hours or overnight to achieve the perfect texture.

Remember, you can store your keto pumpkin cream pie in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze it for up to 3 weeks. Enjoy!

I prefer to keep my pie in the refrigerator for no more than five days. This helps maintain the perfect flavor of the filling and crust.

To store it, I simply cover the pie with plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container to avoid any external odors from affecting the taste.

Sometimes, I may want to keep the pie for an extended period, say for an upcoming event or family gathering. In such cases, my go-to option is to freeze the pie for up to three weeks.

Before freezing, I ensure that the pie is well wrapped with plastic wrap and then again with aluminum foil to protect it from freezer burn and prevent moisture loss.

When I am ready to serve the pie, I allow it to thaw in the refrigerator overnight, and it’s good to go!

Sugar-Free Sweetener Options

As far as which sugar substitute to use for this sugar-free pumpkin cream pie, I have a few recommendations. 

Lakanto Monk Fruit Powder is their confectioner’s sugar substitute, and it’s my go-to option whenever a recipe calls for a powdered sweetener.

It’s my favorite because its texture and flavor are the closest to those of its high-carb counterpart.

The brand Swerve also makes a great powdered sugar substitute. 

You could also use the stevia and erythritol-based brand Pyure if you prefer to use a granulated white stevia-based sweetener.

Note that if this is your pick, make sure you reduce the amount called for in the recipe by half since it’s a much sweeter option.

This makes it compatible with the ketogenic diet, given its low net carb content.

Additionally, pumpkin is rich in vitamins A and C, antioxidants, and minerals, making it a healthy choice for those following a keto lifestyle.
