Keto Pumpkin Pie Recipe
While we try to keep desserts to a minimum and at most once per week in our house, the yearly favorite we all look forward to is, of course, our Thanksgiving pumpkin pie.
We’ve been told that our family favorite pumpkin pie recipe is the BEST pumpkin pie people have ever had. Seriously!
We took that recipe and adapted it to make the best keto pumpkin pie recipe instead. If you’re looking for a recipe for keto pumpkin pie, look no further. You can serve this as a whole crustless pie, in individual dishes, or you can bake it inside your favorite low carb pumpkin pie crust. It’s easy to adapt!
Why This Recipe Works
- Crustless keto pumpkin pie skips the time-consuming pie crust so you can just eat the filling
- It tastes like sugar-laden pumpkin pie everyone loves
- The ketogenic pumpkin pie recipe is easy to bake in individual ramekins or in a pie pan too
- It only has 5 net carbs per serving
Ingredients for Keto Pumpkin Pie (Crustless)
A keto pumpkin pie is basically the keto pumpkin pie filling without the high carb crust. While you can also make this inside a partially baked low carb pie crust, sometimes you just want a quick and easy low carb holiday dessert that’s super quick and easy.
- 1 15 oz can pumpkin puree
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup +2 Tbsp packed brown erythritol
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- Pinch of cloves
- 1/4 tsp salt
We used Libby’s canned pumpkin pie which has always been our favorite, feel free to use whatever sugar-free canned pureed pumpkin brand you prefer.
Ingredient Notes— This recipe calls for canned pumpkin and NOT canned pumpkin pie filling. Canned pumpkin pie filling comes with the spices mixed in, which at first might seem helpful, but mixing in your own spices tastes a million times better.
Instead of buying expensive bottles of individual spices, get tiny portions from your grocery store bulk section instead.
The whole milk in the recipe is also very important, don’t just increase the heavy cream and skip the whole milk, it’ll make your keto pumpkin pie recipe way too rich. Likewise, we’ve tried making this with almond milk instead of whole milk and that didn’t turn out as well either and left that batch of keto crustless pumpkin pie a little too liquidy.
How to Make the Ketogenic Pumpkin Pie Recipe
Preheat the oven to 375F. Move the oven rack to the center position.
Grease a 1 1/2 qt pan or 9″ pie pan with cooking spray.
Whisk together the pumpkin, cream, milk, eggs, brown sugar, spices and salt.
Pour into the baking pan.
Bake in the middle of the oven for 45 to 50 minutes. The filling should be set but still jiggles a tiny bit in the center. The keto pumpkin pie filling will continue to cook as the pie cools.
Move the pie to a baking rack and let it cool completely.
Store in the refrigerator, the keto pumpkin pie should keep in the fridge for up to 2-3 days.
Serve with keto whipping cream, here’s our recipe for an easy keto whipped cream recipe!
Serves 8.
Bake in the middle of the oven for 45-50 minutes, until the filling is set (but still moving slightly). The pie will continue to cook during cooling. Enjoy!

The hubs made this for Thanksgiving this year, and it a was DELISH!!! We did one in a gluten free crust, and one just normal, and people were literally licking their plates. Thank you so much for such a great recipe. I totally stole it and told everyone I came up with this on my own, but I am THANKFUL for you 🙂
WholeLottaYum says
This is the BEST and seriously made my day 😂 I’m so glad you loved it! Happy holidays!
Andi says
Hello! Thank You for sharing all your recipes. Just to clarify what is the difference between Heavy Cream and HWC. Can I use HWC in this recipe instead. I have all the other ingredients trying to avoid the store. Lol.
WholeLottaYum says
Hi Andi! You’re welcome! Yes! You can definitely use heavy whipping cream, this was an adaption of our family pumpkin pie recipe that used whipping cream but typically in keto recipes I use heavy whipping cream.
Vicki says
Is it possible to use half and half, instead of the heavy cream and milk?
WholeLottaYum says
I honestly wouldn’t it won’t hold its shape as well. If you do decide to use half and half I’d cook it in individual ramekins instead of a whole pie.
Allison says
What is the carb count? I’ve never seen whole milk in a keto/low carb recipe
WholeLottaYum says
5 net carbs per serving! This is our family pie recipe I adapted to keto, I tried to make it without the whole milk in the first trial to bring down the carbs but it was honestly too rich. Just a little whole milk balances the flavor perfectly.
MD says
Hi! This sounds AMAZING! I really would like to try making it for my husband this weekend, but I am not sure I understand what to do with the cloves. Are they ground? Or do I put whole ones in? Sorry, I just haven’t ever worked with them before and want to make sure I do it right!
WholeLottaYum says
Yes, they are ground cloves! Thank you for asking and I’ll get the recipe updated to make that more clear. Enjoy! 🙂
