Why this Crustless Pumpkin Pie Recipe Works

The secret ingredient: almond flour. Most dairy free pumpkin pie recipes take forever to cook. From baking to settling, it can be a daunting task to get right. 

Adding almond flour to the custard base helps to solidify the pumpkin filling and bake quicker. It’s almost like the crust is INSIDE the pumpkin pie! This addition of almond flour also adds a unique texture to the filling as it absorbs some of the liquid and shortens the cooking time to just 25 minutes! 

It’s gluten-free, dairy-free, and keto-friendly, with no refined sugars. This diet-friendly pumpkin pie recipe hits all the marks for a well-rounded dessert. Even guests who are not constricted to these diets will enjoy the pumpkin flavor and creamy decadent flavors of this crustless pumpkin pie made with coconut milk and almond flour.

Ingredients for a No Crust Pumpkin Pie

Pie recipes use basic pantry staples so you shouldn’t have to look far to gather the ingredients for this easy gluten-free crustless pumpkin pie recipe.

• Pumpkin puree: Use canned 100% pumpkin puree or use fresh pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling which has added sugars, spices, and usually wheat flour.. 
• Flavoring and sweeteners: Eggs, coconut milk, maple syrup, and vanilla. These custard ingredients add flavor and build a beautiful custard for your pumpkin pie without the crust.
• Almond flour: As mentioned above, almond flour is my secret ingredient to make the pumpkin filling for pie a thick textural consistency. Plus, almond flour will keep this pie recipe gluten-free. If you’re not worried about gluten, swap out the almond flour for whole wheat or all-purpose flour.
• Spices: salt, allspice, ginger, nutmeg, and cinnamon. You can also substitute this spice blend for pumpkin spice plus salt.
