The backstory.

I wanted a dessert that felt indulgent enough for the holiday table but didn't come with the sugar crash or kitchen stress. This crustless pumpkin pie hits that sweet spot-it's easy, low carb, and has no added sugar, yet it's so rich and flavorful no one would ever guess it's the healthy one.

This no crust pumpkin pie is a must make.

  • Super easy Thanksgiving dessert. This crustless pumpkin pie recipe comes together in minutes and bakes up beautifully-no crust, no fuss, just cozy pumpkin perfection for the holidays.
  • No crust to make. Skip the rolling and chilling-this crustless pie delivers all the flavor without the extra work, making it ideal for a quick dessert anytime, not just Thanksgiving.
  • Tastes amazing. Creamy, spiced, and perfectly sweet-this no-crust pumpkin pie is a must-make. You'll never miss the crust!
  • Low carb and keto pumpkin pie. Naturally gluten free and low carb, this crustless pumpkin pie supports a healthy lifestyle-comforting, delicious, and guilt-free.

This is hands-down the easiest and tastiest pumpkin pie I've ever made-no crust, no fuss, and no one guessed it was sugar-free!

Let's talk texture and flavor.

This crustless pumpkin pie is everything you love about the classic-silky, custardy, and perfectly spiced-with none of the extra fuss. The warm pumpkin flavor shines through, balanced by cozy notes of cinnamon and nutmeg. It's lightly sweet, rich from the cream, and melts in your mouth with every bite. You truly won't miss the crust-or the sugar!

What you'll need.

Here's what you'll need to make this crustless sugar free pumpkin pie:

  • Eggs
  • Granulated Sugar - Use regular or a substitute with a 1:1 ratio such as erythritol, monkfruit. Allulose is also a great option but check the ratio and adjust if needed.
  • Pumpkin Puree - it is important that you use canned pumpkin puree, not canned pumpkin pie filling. Libby is the most common brand but any store brand will do. Fresh pumpkin puree may also be used.
  • Heavy Cream - evaporated milk is commonly used in pumpkin pie but in this recipe we used heavy cream instead. I loved the texture and added creaminess that the cream gave.
  • Salt
  • Pumpkin Pie Spice - this is a ready-made spice mixture, so it's even simpler to make this dessert! I like using pumpkin pie spice, which makes it just a little quicker to make than adding multiple spices - and it tastes just as delicious.

Customize it your way.

Here are a few simple ways to make this crustless pumpkin pie your own:

  • Dairy-free: Swap the heavy cream for full-fat coconut milk for a rich, creamy texture and a hint of coconut flavor.
  • Sugar-free: Use a 1:1 sugar substitute like monk fruit or erythritol. For an ultra-smooth finish, try allulose-it won't crystallize and tastes beautifully balanced.
  • Classic twist: Use evaporated milk or brown sugar for a more traditional flavor, or even try a drizzle of maple syrup for a cozy, natural sweetness.
  • Extra touch: A teaspoon of vanilla extract adds warmth and depth without overpowering that perfect pumpkin spice flavor.

How to make crustless pumpkin pie.

Making this pumpkin pie is easy, here's an overview. For full instructions see the recipe card below.

Bake

Bake until a knife inserted near the middle comes out clean. Cool and refrigerate.

How can I tell when pumpkin pie is done?

It is done when a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. For this no crust pumpkin pie, it can take anywhere from 40 to 55 minutes to set in the middle - depending upon the type of pie plate used. I used a deep dish ceramic pie plate, which takes a little longer to bake than, say, an aluminum pan.

How do you serve pumpkin pie?

This crustless pumpkin pie is delicious all on its own, but a few simple touches can take it from everyday easy to holiday showstopper.

  • Serve at room temperature, chilled or lightly cooled for the best texture.
  • Top with a dollop of whipped cream or coconut whipped cream.
  • Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg for a cozy touch.
  • Garnish with a mint leaf or a few toasted pecans for color and crunch.
  • Pair with coffee, chai, or a glass of almond milk for a perfect finish.

Kori's tips.

  • Generously spray the inside of the pie dish with a nonstick spray (we used coconut oil spray) or rub it with butter. This will help the pie from sticking to the bottom.
  • Let the pie cool completely, then refrigerate before serving up your delicious pie.
  • If you used an erythritol sugar substitute, you will get a white crystallization that may form on top of the pie once it cools. It does not affect the taste. Right before serving, you can rub a small amount of coconut oil over the top. You can also use a generous amount of whipped cream - which no one will complain about.

FAQs

What is the difference between pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie filling?

Pumpkin pie filling is seasoned with pumpkin pie spices and is ready to make pumpkin pie once evaporated milk and eggs have been added. On the other hand, pumpkin puree is unsweetened.

How long does pumpkin pie last in the fridge?

Your pie will last approximately 3 to 4 days in the fridge. Be sure to wrap the leftovers tightly with foil or plastic wrap.

Substitute for evaporated milk in pumpkin pie

Heavy cream is a great substitute for evaporated milk in pumpkin pie! In fact, that's what we use in this low carb crustless pumpkin pie recipe!

How to freeze pumpkin pie

Your pumpkin pie can be frozen! Let the pie cool completely, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and/or aluminum foil - or place it in an air-tight container. Store in the freezer for up to 4 months. Thaw in the refrigerator 24 to 36 hours before.

How can I lower the fat in this pumpkin pie?

You can lower the fat in this pie by using low fat evaporated milk or regular half and half instead of heavy cream. Note the nonfat milk would be too watery for this recipe.

Kori's Tips

For more helpful hints, substitution ideas, cooking tips, and other delicious recipes check out my post above.
TIPS: Bake until the center is just set—overbaking can cause cracks. Let it cool completely before slicing for the perfect creamy texture. Use a 1:1 sugar substitute for the best flavor balance in the sugar-free version.
VARIATIONS: Make it dairy-free with coconut milk or half-and-half for a lighter texture. Swap in allulose or monk fruit for a smooth, sugar-free sweetness. Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a sprinkle of brown sugar on top for extra warmth.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Serve chilled with whipped cream or coconut whipped cream. Sprinkle with cinnamon or garnish with mint or pecans for a festive touch. Perfect with coffee or tea after a cozy fall meal.

      Oh no...shoot! I've done that before! I share your frustration. Because of the cream and eggs it needed to be refrigerated or you run the risk of bacteria growth.

Hey there, I'm Kori.
