How to make homemade pumpkin puree
Making homemade pumpkin puree for this Keto Pumpkin Pie is a total breeze and perfect if you have a surplus of pumpkins on hand! To make pumpkin puree you'll want to choose the right pumpkin! Smaller pumpkins are typically sweeter as are heirloom varieties. Once you have your pumpkin follow these steps:
- slice of the very top with the stem
- cut the pumpkin into quarters
- remove the seeds (save the seeds and roast them too for an easy snack!)
- place the pumpkin pieces on a baking sheet and roast at 350° F for 45 minutes until easily pierced with a fork
- remove the skin and transfer the "meat" to a food processor or blender
- blend until smooth
That's it! Super easy. To store the pumpkin you can portion it out into freezer bags (we love Stasher Bags for a plastic-free option) and freeze them for later.
How to make homemade low-carb pumpkin pie spice
Here's our quick go-to recipe:
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon each ground cloves, ground ginger, and ground allspice
- ½ tablespoon ground nutmeg
Just mix it up and store it in a small lidded jar. You can double or triple this batch so you always have it on hand.
How to make homemade whipped cream
Place a bowl in the freezer along with your mixer attachment. Then, pour the heavy whipping cream into the chilled bowl and beat on high speed until light and fluffy. You can add in flavorings or a pinch of sweetener like erythritol or stevia if you wish.
Preparation steps
Before diving into the actual cooking process, follow these essential preparation steps to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience :
- Measure and gather all the ingredients for the crust and filling.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) using the oven baking method.
- Prepare the necessary kitchen tools, such as a medium-sized mixing bowl, a pie dish, a whisk or fork, and a silicone spatula.
- Grease your pie dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
- Wash your hands and ensure your work area is clean and organized.
With these preparation steps completed, you'll be all set to start making your healthy baked pumpkin.
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the crust. Combine the almond flour, melted unsalted butter, granulated Swerve erythritol, salt, and 3 large eggs in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Mix well until a dough is formed.
- Step 2: Press it into the pie dish. Transfer the dough to the greased pie dish. Press the dough evenly along the bottom and sides of the dish using your fingers or the back of a spoon, creating a uniform real pie crust.
- Step 3: Now bake it in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until it's slightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool while you prepare the filling.
- Step 4: Prepare the filling. In a clean mixing bowl, combine the canned unsweetened pumpkin pie mix, heavy cream, 2 large eggs, powdered Swerve erythritol, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and maple flavoring. Whisk the ingredients together until it reaches a finer consistency.
- Step 5: Fill the crust with the pumpkin filling and pour it into the cooled pie crust, spreading it evenly.
- Step 6: Bake the Pie. Place the pie dish back into the oven and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. To check if the filling is placed, insert a toothpick or a knife in the Pie's center; if it comes out clean, the Pie is ready.
- Step 7: Cool and serve. Remove the Pie from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature. You can also refrigerate it for a couple of hours before serving it for better texture. Slice the Pie into individual servings and enjoy!
Chef's pro tip
To achieve a perfect texture and consistency for this recipe, it is essential to let it cool completely after baking before serving. This allows the filling to be set correctly and prevents it from being too runny or soft. Also, be sure to use a sharp knife when cutting the Pie to ensure clean and neat slices.
How to make it healthier
Though the recipes we share with you are all healthy, here are some tips to make low-carb pumpkin pie recipes in case you want to be extra cautious:
- Use organic and non-GMO ingredients: By using organic and non-GMO ingredients, you can reduce exposure to harmful chemicals and support sustainable agriculture practices.
- Use homemade pumpkin puree: Instead of canned, you can make your own by roasting and pureeing. This allows you to control the quality and freshness of the ingredients.
- Use alternative sweeteners: While Swerve erythritol is a low-carb and sugar-free sweetener, you can also use other natural sweeteners such as monk fruit or stevia. These sweeteners have no impact on blood sugar levels and are keto-friendly.
- Increase the fiber content: You can add fiber to the crust using ground flaxseeds or chia seeds. These ingredients add not only fiber but also healthy fats.
- Reduce the serving size: While this recipe yields 12 servings, you can reduce the serving size to make it even lower in calories and carbohydrates.
Time-saving expert tips
It's not always possible to do everything from scratch, so here are some time-saving tips you can apply to get a quick and classic keto pie crust!
- Prepare the crust ahead of time: You can make the almond flour crust up to 2 days ahead and store it in the fridge until ready.
- Mix the filling in advance: Mix the pumpkin pie filling and store it in the refrigerator until ready to bake it.
- Preheat the oven in advance: Preheat the oven 10-15 minutes before you bake the Pie. This will save you time waiting for the oven to reach the desired temperature.
- Use an electric mixer: Using an electric mixer can save you time and effort when mixing the crust and filling ingredients.

Storage and reheating instructions
Leftover Storage
Leftover storage is an essential part of cooking. This is a freezer-friendly recipe, and you can store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. Make sure to allow the Pie to cool down to room temperature before storing it in the fridge.
It is best to wrap the crust with foil before storing it in an airtight container to prevent a flakier pie crust. You can also store individual slices of Pie in airtight containers or plastic bags.
Do not leave the Pie at room temperature for more than 2 hours to prevent the growth of bacteria. If you want to store the Pie for longer than four days, consider freezing it.
Leftover reheating methods and best practices
To reheat the leftovers, you can use an oven or a microwave. Here are some methods to reheat the leftover Pie:
Oven:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Cover the Pie with aluminum foil.
- Place the Pie in the oven and heat for 10-15 minutes or until heated through.
Microwave:
- Place a slice of Pie on a microwave-safe plate.
- Cover the Pie loosely with a damp paper towel.
- Microwave for 20-30 seconds or until heated through.
- Check the Pie; if it needs more time, heat it in 10-second intervals until it reaches the desired temperature.
Note: Do not reheat the whole Pie at once in the microwave, as it will heat unevenly and may become mushy. Instead, reheat individual slices.

Thank you for all the AWESOME recipes. So glad I found you on IG! I'm not a fan of pumpkin, do you a have a keto recipe/substitute using sweet potato for the pie? Thank you in advance
Alex Lester says
Hi Michelle, happy to have you here. We don't have a sweet potato pie recipe as sweet potatoes are too high in carbs for a keto diet.
