Ingredients:
- 2 cups almond flour (200g)
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (56g)
- 2 tbsp powdered erythritol (24g)
- 1/4 tsp salt (1.5g)
- 15 oz canned pumpkin puree (425g)
- 3/4 cup heavy cream (180ml)
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup granulated monk fruit sweetener (90g)
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice (2g)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (5ml)
- 1/4 tsp salt (1.5g)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Combine almond flour, melted butter, powdered erythritol, and salt in a bowl. Stir until a crumbly dough forms.
- Press the dough firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish.
- Bake the crust for 8–10 minutes until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs and granulated monk fruit sweetener until smooth.
- Stir in the pumpkin puree, heavy cream, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
- Whisk until the mixture is completely homogenous and no streaks of pumpkin remain.
- Pour the filling into the pre-baked crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Place the pie on the center rack and bake for 35–40 minutes. The pie is done when the edges are set and puffed, but the center still has a slight, gelatin-like jiggle.
- Remove immediately from the oven to prevent overcooking.
- Let the pie cool at room temperature for 1 hour.
- Transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight) to set the custard structure.
