Instructions

Instructions are for 12 servings. Please modify as needed.

Pie crust
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Add the butter, almond flour, hazelnut flour, sweetener, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt to a medium-sized bowl. Mix together until crumbly, and well combined.
  3. Evenly press the crust mixture over the bottom and sides of a 9" (23 cm), un-greased pie plate. Set aside.
  4. Pumpkin filling
  5. In a medium-sized bowl, use a hand mixer to combine the pumpkin purée, sweetener, butter, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Pour in the egg and the heavy whipping cream, and mix until just combined.
  6. Pour the filling into the pie crust. Place aluminum foil or a pie shield along the crust edges, to prevent browning too quickly. Bake on the middle oven rack for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is just set.
  7. Cool on a wire rack for 2 hours, or until at room temperature. Serve at room temperature or refrigerate for several hours before serving.
  8. Whipped cream topping
  9. Add the heavy cream, vanilla, and sweetener to a medium-sized bowl. Using an electric mixer, whisk at medium speed, until soft peaks form.
  10. For serving, slice the pie, and top with a dollop of whipped cream, and a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.

Tip

This pie can be covered and refrigerated for 3-4 days.

    Love your recipes! Thanks for all the work you do!! I don't want to use a crust for pumpkin pie ... I'm going to try the pie filling in paper cups and see how it works. Any suggestion on whether or not it needs to be baked or will it set by itself with out the crust ? Tks.

    That should work well. I would keep an eye on it to make sure the filling doesn't leak out, depending on how sturdy your cups are.

    Personally, I would probably bake it a bit until the pumpkin cups test clean with a toothpick.

    I believe last year there was a second pumpkin pie or pumpkin custard recipe - it was crustless, contained no sweetener at all, and made in ramekins and used just a bit of coconut at the bottom. Has this recipe been removed?

    While I'm not sure this recipe has been on the Diet Doctor site, one of our recipe collaborators has this version on her website which sounds a lot like what you're describing.

    I just got done baking the filling only in a 9”x9” Pyrex. It’s delicious, tastes like a pumpkin custard. Doesn’t even need whipped cream though that certainly wouldn’t hurt :).

    Apparently it was removed. There used to be altogaether 3 recepies for pumpkin pie. The 2 remaining ones are still available on the version of the webpage with Swedish content, if that works for you after translating with google translate for example:
    https://www.dietdoctor.com/se/recept/pumpapaj
    https://www.dietdoctor.com/se/recept/sma-pumpapajer

    That is not fun that these and some other nice recepies have been removed or moved to members+ only content. Moreover, I find removing the possibility to see the macros for the dishes or adjust the ingredients amounts for the number of portions unless paying the membership fee - quite mean actually.
