Ingredients
Almond Flour Keto Pie Crust
- ¾ cup finely ground almond flour
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons keto approved sweetener (Swerve recommended)
- 3 tablespoons butter
Keto Mini Pumpkin Pies Filling
- ¾ cup organic pumpkin puree
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- ⅓ cup powdered sweetener (Swerve Confectioners)
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 oz cream cheese
Sugar Free Whipped Cream
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sweetener
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Muffin Tin: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with silicone baking cups or spray each cup with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Make the Pie Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, salt, keto sweetener, and butter. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Form and Bake Crusts: Press about one tablespoon of the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of each prepared muffin cup. Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the crusts turn golden brown. Remove and allow to cool slightly.
- Prepare Pumpkin Filling: While the crusts bake, add the pumpkin puree, eggs, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and powdered sweetener to a high-powered blender or stand mixer. Blend until smooth and fully combined.
- Add Cream and Cream Cheese: Incorporate the heavy whipping cream and cream cheese into the pumpkin mixture. Blend again until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Fill and Bake Pies: Pour the pumpkin filling into each baked crust, filling nearly to the top. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly wobbly in the center. Remove from oven and chill the pies for at least one hour to fully set.
- Make Sugar-Free Whipped Cream: In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sweetener using a hand or stand mixer. Continue whipping until stiff peaks form, indicating a stable whipped cream.
- Serve: Top each chilled mini pumpkin pie with a dollop of the sugar-free whipped cream. Serve chilled and enjoy this keto-friendly fall dessert.
Notes
- For best results, use a high-powered blender or stand mixer to ensure a smooth pumpkin filling.
- Pressing the crust mixture firmly into the muffin tin helps create a sturdy base for the filling.

- You can substitute the keto sweetener with your preferred low-carb sweetener, ensuring it’s in powdered form for the filling and whipped cream.
- Using silicone muffin cups makes removing the mini pies easier and prevents sticking.
