Keto Pumpkin Pie for One

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different sweetener instead of golden monk fruit?

Yes! You can substitute golden monk fruit with erythritol, stevia, or any sugar-free sweetener you prefer. Just adjust the quantity according to the sweetness level of the alternative sweetener.

What can I use if I don't have xanthan gum?

If you don't have xanthan gum, you can use either psyllium husk powder or ground flaxseed as a thickening agent. The texture will be slightly different.

How should I store any leftovers of the pie?

If you have any leftover pie, you can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Just make sure to let it cool completely before sealing it.

Can I make this pie crust ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the pie crust ahead of time! Just store it in the refrigerator for a day or freeze it for longer storage. Make sure to thaw it in the fridge before using.

Is this recipe suitable for a gluten-free diet?

Yes, this pumpkin pie is gluten-free! Both almond flour and coconut flour are great alternatives to traditional flour and will fit perfectly into a gluten-free diet.

Press-in Pie Crust

One of my favorite pie crust recipes is used in this mini pumpkin pie. It’s a shortbread-based crust that you press into the pie pan. It’s lightly sweetened and tastes delicious on its own. Reminds me of a cookie. Since we’re only making a single-serve pie crust, it’s easy to cut the cold butter into the crust ingredients with a fork. There is no need to break out the pastry blender here. You can use a mini food processor if you want. pouring filling into pie crust

Is Pumpkin Allowed on Keto?

Although pumpkin is part of the squash family and is a little higher in carbs, you can still enjoy this flavorful vegetable in small quantity. The 1/4 cup of pumpkin puree included in this recipe contributes to 3 g net carbs. To me, that is worth it in order to enjoy my favorite Thanksgiving dessert while still staying low carb.

Make It Ahead

What’s even better than making one serve of your favorite holiday dessert? Making it a day or two ahead of time! This helps alleviate some holiday stress. After you bake this portion-controlled pie, let it cool completely. Then wrap in plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for 1-2 days until ready to devour! pumpkin mug cake

    Can you make the crust with any other fruit pie for just one person. I would like to make a strawberry /rhurbarb mini pie for one person and I love your crust but I don't know how to work with the stawberry /rhurbarb.

      Yes, it would work with any filling.

    Very good pie. The crust is easy to work with, plus I didn't find it had a mouth drying effect as some breakfast buns do. The filling was bang on. I only had 1/2 each night and enjoyed every bite.
    It's a keeper?
