Keto Southern Pumpkin Pie With A Twist
Ingredients:
Crust:
1 ½ cups almond flour
¼ cup coconut flour
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder (for a subtle twist)
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
2 tbsp sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
Filling:
1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
½ cup heavy cream
½ cup sugar (or adjust to taste)
2 large eggs
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
½ tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Directions:
Prepare the Crust:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, cocoa powder, and sugar. Mix well.
Add melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Stir until a dough forms.
Press the dough into a 9-inch pie pan, evenly across the bottom and up the sides. Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling.
Pre-Bake the Crust:
Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly.
Make the filling:
In another bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, heavy cream, sugar, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
Assemble the Pie:
Pour the pumpkin filling into the pre-baked crust, spreading it evenly.
Bake:
Bake the pie for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve:
Let the pie cool at room temperature before slicing. For extra flavor, serve with a dollop of whipped cream sweetened with a bit of sugar.
Enjoy your deliciously creamy pumpkin pie with a hint of cocoa!
Topping (add pecans, strawberries, and whip cream) is optional.
