I was trying to make a pumpkin pie without the crust, partly as a low carb dessert for myself but mostly as a treat for my daughter who loves pumpkin pie but leaves the crust. I figured it couldn’t be too hard to make pumpkin pie without a crust, or something you might call a pumpkin custard. Whatever you call this pumpkin pie version, it tastes FANTASTIC!
Don’t wait for the holidays to roll around again to make this scrumptious low carb pumpkin pie. I’ll definitely be making it frequently.
It’s not only delicious, but it also gets some veggies into my daughter. Pumpkin on its own is a healthy food with a good supply of vitamin A, and this recipe has no added sugar or oils. For the sweetener, you can substitute 1 tsp of liquid stevia if you prefer it instead of Splenda.

I pass by sweets in the office kitchen and don’t even eat cake at birthdays, but I couldn’t stop eating this low carb pumpkin pie without a crust. It was also extremely quick to make – just mix the ingredients together with a wooden spoon, scrape it into a baking dish and let it bake. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did. If you don’t have any pumpkin pie spice on hand, you can easily whip some up using this recipe. You can find a great deal on a set including an 8″ glass baking dish at this link.
