Keto pumpkin pie is a twist on an American classic: tasty and healthy at the same time! We hope this pie helps create a cozy atmosphere in your home!
Pumpkin is highly debated among keto-lovers. Debated, but still allowed – not for daily consumption, of course. You can cook a pumpkin puree as a side dish or a tasty tiramissu dessert. We’re used to Olivier salad as a festive New Year’s Eve must, same as Americans – to a pumpkin pie as an autumnal family dish. Nice crispy crust, tender and spicy filling – that’s what you need for a cold autumn supper. Try baking a keto pumpkin pie with us!
Pumpkin pie and Thanksgiving
Pumpkin pie is not only a delicious dessert for tea or coffee, but also an essential part of a traditional Thanksgiving dinner. Turkey, parade and pumpkin pie. And while there are few questions about turkey and parade from a keto perspective, the traditional pumpkin pie recipe contains flour and sugar. We, on the other hand, have found a pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving recipe that will allow you to enjoy the dessert, guilt-free. And by the way! From experience, none of the non-keto friends and family will notice the difference.
And if you do not have time and desire to make pumpkin purée by yourself, then you ready canned.
Pumpkin can also be used to make curry, spicy Indian soup, and much more.
If you’re like me, the mashed pumpkin is great in the freezer.

Right now I’ve got an idea to make a quiche with this almond crust, thanks!
Thank you for the recipe, it looks delicious. Is pumpkin puree just shredded fresh pumpkin? or does it need to be boiled first?
From cooked pumpkin, but it’s better to bake it and then puree it with a blender, so it gets more flavorful
And then you can put it in a bag and freeze it) and take it out as needed)
