How to Make Mini Keto Pumpkin Pie
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Prepare the Muffin Tin: Line a muffin tin with silicone baking cups or spray thoroughly with nonstick cooking spray.
- Make the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, salt, sweetener, and melted butter. Mix well until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Form the Crust: Take about one tablespoon of the crust mixture and press it evenly into the bottom of each muffin cup.
- Bake the Crust: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the crust turns golden brown.
- Prepare the Filling: While the crust bakes, add the pumpkin puree, eggs, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and powdered sweetener into a high-powered blender or stand mixer. Blend everything together until smooth.
- Incorporate Cream: Add the heavy cream and softened cream cheese to the mixture. Blend again until completely smooth and well mixed.
- Add the Filling: Pour the pumpkin filling into each muffin cup, filling nearly to the top.
- Bake Again: Put the muffin tin back into the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the filling is set with a slight wobble.
- Cool the Pies: Allow the mini pies to cool at room temperature and then chill them in the fridge for at least an hour before serving.
- Make Whipped Cream: For a delicious topping, whip together the heavy cream and sweetener in a large bowl until stiff peaks form.
- Serve: Top each mini pie with a dollop of keto whipped cream just before serving.
How to Serve Mini Keto Pumpkin Pie
These mini pies are best served chilled with a light dollop of homemade keto whipped cream on top. For an extra touch, you can sprinkle a little extra pumpkin pie spice over the whipped cream for a festive presentation.

Tips to Make Mini Keto Pumpkin Pie

Variations
