Keto Mini Crustless Pumpkin Pie Recipe

Introduction

This keto mini crustless pumpkin pie is a delightful, low-carb dessert perfect for the fall season or any time you crave a rich pumpkin treat. It’s creamy, spiced just right, and easy to make without a traditional crust.

The image shows a close-up of several small white ceramic ramekins, each filled with a smooth, rich brown pumpkin pie filling. Each ramekin has a thick, even layer of creamy pumpkin filling with a slight glossy texture on top. Centered on the surface of the filling is a swirl of fluffy white whipped cream, lightly dusted with a hint of cinnamon or nutmeg, adding contrast to the warm brown. The ramekins sit closely together on a dark metal baking tray, placed on a white marbled textured surface. The edges of the pumpkin filling are neatly contained within the ridged sides of the ramekins, and the overall presentation looks fresh and inviting. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Tips & Variations

  • Use canned pumpkin puree rather than pumpkin pie filling to control sugar content.
  • For a sweeter pie, increase the sweetener slightly or add a sugar substitute to taste.
  • Try adding a pinch of nutmeg or ginger for extra warmth and depth of flavor.
  • To make it dairy-free, ensure your whipped cream topping is coconut-based or omit entirely.
