Whether you’re serving a turkey, ham, or something else entirely, a tasty pumpkin pie is always welcome at holiday gatherings. In fact, some people don’t consider it a holiday unless there IS pumpkin pie.
I happen to be one of those people who love pumpkin – which means that I absolutely love the fall holiday season because it provides the perfect excuse reason so bake pumpkin pies.
While we’ll also make some other pies, we always make at least a couple of pumpkin because they’re the ones that always disappear first (I’m not the only pumpkin lover in my family).
Another favorite of ours (that’s not keto or low carb) is Apple Butter Pumpkin Pie. The apple butter gives it a really nice flavor and compliments the pumpkin perfectly. We also love Blueberry Banana Pie which involves no baking at all.

How To Make Keto Pumpkin Pie
Once you’ve gathered all of your ingredients together, combine those that make up the crust. Mix well.
Place the crust/dough mixture on a piece of parchment paper, cover with another sheet of parchment paper on top, and roll crust out flat into a circle large enough to cover your pie pan.
Below you can see how this will look. Be sure to carefully pull the top piece of parchment paper back when you’re got the crust to your desired size and shape.
Put the crust over the pie pan. Most likely it won’t be perfect (mot things in baking aren’t), but you’ll cut any extraneous crust away so that it fits better.
When you’ve cut the crust to size, use your fingers to crimp around the top edges.
Next, combine the filling ingredients into a mixing bowl and mix thoroughly.
Pour batter into your crust and bake approximately one hour at 350 degrees. Be sure to test that your filling is done by inserting a toothpick. Filling will continue to set after it’s been removed from the oven.
Place pie on cooling rack to let sit. This allows the filling to “firm up” so that it’s better for serving.
At our house, we like to serve pumpkin pie cold with a little whipped cream on top. You can also sprinkle a tiny bit of cinnamon on top of your whipped cream or add a few chocolate shavings if you like.
