This Low Carb Pumpkin Pie is the ultimate answer to your keto Thanksgiving woes. It is, without a doubt, the perfect pumpkin pie for the holidays and you won't even know it's low carb.

What Makes This Pie Different?

When I think about Thanksgiving and holiday meals, two things come to mind: Turkey and pumpkin pie. Since I'm someone who lives a low carb lifestyle, turkey is no problem as it's SO low carb that you might as well not count the carbs.

Pumpkin pie, however, is a completely different story. Just one slice can have about 46 grams of carbs, which is impossible for anyone who is trying to stay in ketosis.

But here's the problem: Pumpkin pie is just too dang irresistible! I mean, can you even call it a successful Thanksgiving without devouring what is arguably the best holiday treat of all time?! The answer to that question is most certainly "NO".

So armed with this knowledge I tasked myself with making the best dang pumpkin pie I could possibly make, and I must say, I outdid myself with this one.

This pumpkin pie is truly a keto-ers fantasy come true. It hits all of the points of a perfect low carb dessert without making you feel like you need to fast for the next few months/years.

It's wonderfully creamy, delightfully spiced, perfectly sweet, and the crust has that combination of crumbliness and crunch that you'd expect from a good holiday pie.

And above all, it's low enough in carbs that you can still enjoy the rest of your holiday without that feeling of dread that you just consumed enough carbs to put you off track until the new year.

Ingredients You'll Need

For The Pie Crust

• Superfine Almond Flour- Superfine mades for a smooth, traditionally textured pie crust.
• Powdered Swerve
• Coconut Oil- This will need to be melted to easily incorporate all of the other pie crust ingredients.

For The Filling

• Eggs
• Heavy Whipping Cream- You can also use almond milk for a dairy-free version.
• Powdered Swerve- Or you can use any low carb sweetener of your choice.
• canned pumpkin puree- Make sure you grab canned pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie mix.
• Pumpkin Pie Spice
• Vanilla extract

For The Topping

• Heavy Whipping Cream- to make your own homemade keto whipped topping.

How To Make Low Carb Pumpkin Pie

1. Preheat the oven. Set your oven to 350F
2. Make the pie crust. In a small bowl, mix together the almond flour and powdered Swerve.
3. Pour in the melted coconut oil. Mix the pie crust ingredients until you have a crumbly mixture.
4. Dump the mixture into a 9-inch shallow pie pan. Use your fingers to pat the pie crust evenly into the bottom and then work your way up the sides.
5. Poke the crust. Once the mixture is evenly spread through the pan, use the tines of a fork to prick the bottom of the crust.
6. Make the filling. Whisk together the eggs. Add cream, Truvia, canned pumpkin purée, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract and whisk it all together. Pour it into the pie crust.
7. Bake it. The center will still be a little jiggly. You may need to cover the sides with foil if the sides of the crust start to brown too much.
8. Chill it. Place it in the refrigerator for 6-8 hours and serve with homemade keto whipped topping.

How Many Net Carbs Are In Pumpkin Pie?

A single slice of your run-of-the-mill pumpkin pie has about 46 grams of carbs, with only 2.4 of those being dietary fiber. That makes for a staggering 43.6 net carbs per serving of pumpkin pie! That is certainly far too many carbs for anyone trying to keep it low carb for the holidays.

A single slice of my delightfully Low-Carb Pumpkin Pie, however, only has 9 grams of carbs, with 3 of those being dietary fiber. That means there are only 6 net carbs in this pumpkin pie recipe! If that isn't a cause for some serious celebration, I don't know what is.

That means this low-carb pumpkin pie is low enough in carbs that, depending on what else you eat this Thanksgiving, you could probably get away with eating a second slice of pie. That makes this the ultimate keto holiday win, without a doubt.

Tips And Tricks For Perfect Low Carb Pumpkin Pie

• You may need to cover the sides with foil if the sides of the crust start to brown too much.
• If you prefer a firmer crust, bake the crust by itself for 10 minutes before adding the mixture to the crust.
• Try not to whip too much air into the pumpkin pie mixture or you may get a pie with cracks on top.
• Make it ahead of time and chill it, since that will help it set properly.
