A creamy, sugar-free pumpkin pie that combines wholesome ingredients for a guilt-free, nostalgic dessert with a smooth texture and cozy spices.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (15 oz / 425 g) pumpkin puree, preferably organic
  • 1 cup (225 g) small-curd cottage cheese, well-drained
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup (150 g) monk fruit sweetener or erythritol
  • 1 1/2 cups (150 g) almond flour
  • 6 tbsp (85 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish lightly with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Prepare the crust by combining almond flour, melted butter, and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl. Mix until the mixture resembles wet sand and holds its shape when pressed.
  3. Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the pie dish.
  4. Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden and fragrant. Remove and let cool slightly.
  5. In a food processor or blender, combine pumpkin puree, drained cottage cheese, monk fruit sweetener, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, vanilla extract, salt, and heavy cream (if using). Blend until smooth and creamy.
  6. Pour the filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake the pie at 350°F (175°C) for 45-50 minutes until the center is set but slightly jiggly.
  8. Remove from oven and cool completely on a wire rack. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  9. Slice with a sharp knife dipped in hot water for clean edges. Optionally top with whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Notes

Drain cottage cheese thoroughly for best texture. Blend cottage cheese and pumpkin until completely smooth to avoid grainy filling. Do not overbake; look for a gentle jiggle in the center. Chill pie for at least 4 hours for best flavor and texture. Use room temperature eggs for even baking. For dairy-free version, substitute eggs with flax eggs, cottage cheese with coconut yogurt, and butter with coconut oil.
