Ingredients
Scale
Crustless Pumpkin Pie
- 2 15-ounce cans pumpkin puree
- 1 cup full-fat canned coconut milk
- ¾ cup pure maple syrup (e.g., Wholesome Yum Keto Maple Syrup)
- 6 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 pinch sea salt
- Dairy-free whipped cream for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the custard.
- Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, coconut milk, maple syrup, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and sea salt until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
- Divide Mixture: Pour the pumpkin mixture evenly into ten 4-ounce ramekins. Arrange the ramekins on a baking sheet for easy transfer to the oven.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet with ramekins into the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. The custards should still jiggle slightly in the center when they are done.
- Cool and Chill: Remove the ramekins from the oven and let them cool to room temperature. Then, refrigerate the custards for at least 1 hour to allow them to set.
- Serve: Serve each custard chilled, topped with dairy-free whipped cream if desired.
Notes
- This recipe is slightly modified with permission from Danielle Walker’s cookbook, Make It Easy.
- Use full-fat canned coconut milk for the best creamy texture and flavor.
- Ensure not to overbake; a slight jiggle in the center indicates perfect custard consistency.
- Ramekins can be substituted with any oven-safe custard dishes of similar size.
- For a refined twist, garnish with a dusting of cinnamon or nutmeg before serving.
