Low Carb Pumpkin Pie
While we try to keep desserts reasonable in our home, the reality is the holidays are not complete without a few fall favorites – including pumpkin pie!
Pumpkin pie happens to be a family favorite both in our home and with extended family, but when my husband switched to a ketogenic diet we knew we were going to have to make some changes.
We had a trusted and timeless pumpkin pie recipe that was easily transformed and adapted to make the best keto crustless pumpkin pie recipe. Seriously, it’s the best!
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. Top with our keto whipped cream and you have a dessert that we can all be thankful for this holiday season. If you want another pumpkin option, we know you’ll also love our keto pumpkin cheesecake mousse.

Ingredient Notes
We are going to make our crustless keto pumpkin pie with some very common and familiar ingredients – including pumpkin puree, cream, eggs, and spices. However, we are going to swap out the high-carb items – including sugar – for ones that are low-carb and keto approved.
- pumpkin puree – our favorite brand is Libby’s, many other brands have a thinner consistency. Make sure to buy 100% pure pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling
- heavy whipping cream – look for 0 carb brands
- whole milk
- eggs -large eggs
- packed brown erythritol – or golden monkfruit like Lakanto
- spices – ground cinnamon, ground ginger, cloves. Pumpkin pie spice can be substituted instead of these, but our spice blend is truly perfection. You can buy them from the bulk section to save money.
- salt
Step by Step Instructions
Similar in steps and method to a traditional pumpkin pie, our keto crustless pumpkin pie recipe is perfect for when you need a low-carb holiday dessert that is quick, easy, and full of flavor.
And again, it’s perfectly fine to make this recipe in individual portions or in a pie pan or baking dish, like shown below.
Prep Ingredients
Preheat the oven to 375F. Move the oven rack to the center position.
Grease muffin tins (or use muffin liners), ramekins, a 1 1/2 qt pan or 9″ pie pan with cooking spray.
Assemble
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, cream, milk, eggs, brown sugar, spices, and salt.
Pour into the prepared baking pan.
Bake
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. Makes 8 dessert portions.
Recipe Tips
- Make sure you purchase pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling.
- Brands of pumpkin puree can vary and some have more liquid or are thinner. Libby’s brand seems to give consistent results.
- It is recommended to make the recipe as is and not try to swap the whole milk for something else for the best flavor and consistency.
- The pie can also be made in individual servings by cooking it in ramekins. If you do this the pie will most likely take less time to cook.

lisa says
Can you use 2% milk?
WholeLottaYum says
Hi Lisa, If you have 2% I’d add 1/4 cup of that and increase the heavy whipping cream to 1/4 cup. Happy Thanksgiving! Jen
Sandy says
Since going keto, I never have whole milk in the house. Could we dilute our HWC with water to make it like milk? Mix 1/4cup water with 1/4cup cream???
Mel says
Hi Sandy! Normally a substitution like that wouldn’t be a huge problem, but I wouldn’t recommend a substitution with baked goods. The pie needs to set, and I would be worried that the substitution might not set the same way.
naomi russell says
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! 🙂
Veronica says
Do you know the amount of servings and net carbs for this?
