Pumpkin pie is one of the Thanksgiving desserts that is a must. It just won’t be Thanksgiving without it, at least in our home.  The good thing is that it’s totally possible to enjoy a pumpkin pie recipe that fits into your macros.

When coming up with this classic sugar-free pumpkin pie, you’ll notice that I did not veer too much from the classic recipe. In fact, it’s one that you can add to your Thanksgiving table proudly since it will be easily embraced even by those not doing keto. 

How To Make A Keto Classic Pumpkin Pie

To make this recipe, you’ll need the following ingredients. Note that the full printable recipe card is at the end of the post.

In order to make this pie, you’ll to first make half a batch of our keto crust recipe. It’s such a great crust, and it’s perfect for our pumpkin pie filling.   

The crust doesn’t even have to be baked blind prior to adding the filling the only requirement is that the crust is well chilled before adding the filling and baking.

To speed things up you could even place the pie crust in the freezer for 15-20 minutes while you make the filling. 

That keto crust recipe uses a combination of almond flour and coconut flour, but if you are needing a recipe that uses only coconut flour, my advice is to use the one in the pumpkin pecan pie recipe instead. 

Another tip to keep in mind is to make sure the pie is not over-baked. This will make sure the pie has a velvety texture and reduces cracks. 

I start off by baking the pie at 425 degrees for 15 minutes and then reduce the heat to 350 degrees for the remainder of the baking time. I feel this technique is what ensures the pie has the right custard texture.

Ingredients Needed

Tools Needed

You’ll need just a few tools to make this recipe most of which you hopefully already have on hand. 

What’s The Difference Between Pumpkin Puree And Pumpkin Pie Filling?

A key ingredient to keep in mind is the use of 100% pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling, which is loaded with regular sugar and spices. 

The reason is that canned pumpkin is just that and nothing more. It’s a pumpkin that has been cooked, pureed, and canned. 

Whereas pumpkin pie filling is pre-flavored with spices such as cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and allspice and is also sweetened. 

Although some people like the convenience of pumpkin pie filling it is not suited for keto pumpkin recipes because of the extra ingredients that make it non-keto.

Sugar-Substitute Options

I have several options when it comes to which sweetener you can use in this sugar-free keto pumpkin pie I am partial to  Lakanto Monk Fruit.

Lakanto Monk Fruit is my favorite since the texture and flavor are what I have found to be the closest to real sugar and because the flavor fools your taste buds like nothing else I’ve found in the market. 

Having said that, I’m also partial to the brand Swerve which is an erythritol blend. Similar to Lakanto, it uses sugar alcohols and has a 0 % impact on blood sugar.

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

Due 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.

Lastly, if you can’t easily find a more natural sugar substitute, you can also use Splenda with good success. I know not everyone would agree with me here, and I respect that, but in my book, it’s still better than regular sugar.

My failed attempts when I first went keto are what caused me to be very intentional with my Keto Baking recipes. I threw away so many ingredients in the beginning and I never want anyone to be so frustrated that they give up on the diet before they can see long-lasting results. 

Even though those early days were not fun, the fact that I stayed the course has made this journey very rewarding. Besides, if I had quit at the first sign of struggle, I would not have had the opportunity to engage with you all.

Notes

Note that for best results we recommend you use only packaged pre-shredded mozzarella cheese. Shredding the cheese yourself could cause oil to seep out during the baking process.

The pie crust doesn't need to be baked blind prior to adding the filling the only requirement is that the crust is well chilled before adding the filling and baking.

To speed things up you could even place the pie crust in the freezer for 15-20 minutes while you make the filling. 

This recipe doubles easily in which case you should use the full recipe for the pie crust and then double the pumpkin pie filling.

Great topping for pumpkin pie and can be made keto easily! All to taste! Fresh Ginger root, Brown Sugar or a Brown Sugar KETO replacement, Sea Salt and the secret ingredient Cayenne Pepper (Cut the Sweet with the Heat).

This sounds like a delicious crust. However, I learned from the doctor, when both of my grandsons were born with nut allergies, that many people with nut allergies are also allergic to coconut. Have you tried a nut-free recipe without coconut?

Hi Diane, I have not tested with other alternative flours.

I just had bariatric surgery in September and was looking for a good recipe to make and found this. Keto is very close to the bariatric lifestyle so I only need to tweak the fat a little bit. 😊 Thanks for this recipe!

Have you tried using whole milk instead of heavy cream?

Hilda Solares

Hi Kayla, Milk is higher in carbs with the exception of lactose-free milk, but I think it may not be thick enough. I can't tell you for certain since I have not tested this yet. Let us know if you try it.
