This Crustless Pumpkin Pie Is Gluten-Free And Low-Carb

You may not fully appreciate the merits of this crustless pumpkin pie recipe just yet, but I hope to change that in short order. But whatever your reasons for making it, this pumpkin pie without crust is an easy and delicious dessert option.

Jillee’s Take:

There are plenty of decent gluten-free pie crust recipes you can find online, but skipping the crust entirely is perfectly valid option too! Crustless pumpkin pie is like a lettuce-wrapped burger — you still get to enjoy the most flavorful part of the food.

Why Make Pumpkin Pie Without Crust?

There are plenty of advantages to making no-crust pumpkin pie, starting with the reason I sought out this recipe in the first place: it’s gluten-free. Given how tricky gluten-free baking can be, eliminating the problematic aspect of a recipe is a simple way to save time and energy.

Another similar reason to make a crustless pumpkin pie is if you’re eating a low-carb diet (or are trying to cut carbs). It’s often easier to leave out the carb-heavy part of a meal than to come up with a suitable low-carb alternative, and it’s no different with pumpkin pie.

The final advantage of this crustless pumpkin pie is that it’s a quick and easy way to satisfy a pumpkin pie craving. No need to dig out your pastry cutter or rolling pin — just whisk, bake, and eat!

How To Make Crustless Pumpkin Pie

Adapted from Living With Beth

Ingredients:

• 15 oz canned pumpkin puree
• 1/2 cup milk or evaporated milk
• 4 large eggs
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 1 Tbsp stevia
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
• Whipped cream (optional)

Directions:

Grease an 8-inch square baking pan (or a 9-inch pie pan).

Add the eggs, pumpkin, milk, vanilla, stevia, salt, and pumpkin pie spice to a mixing bowl and whisk thoroughly.

Pour the filling into the greased pan.

Bake for 40 minutes at 350 degrees F (or 375 degrees F, if using a dark pan), or until a knife or toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.

Let the pie cool completely before slicing, then top with homemade whipped cream (or a dollop of low-carb Cool Whip) and enjoy.

How to Enjoy Leftovers

To store leftover crustless pumpkin pie, wrap it tightly or seal in an airtight container and refrigerate for 3-4 days, or freeze for up to 1 month.

Allow frozen pie to thaw in the fridge before consuming. (Freezing the leftovers in individual portions will make this easier!)
