Ingredients

You only need a few simple ingredients that you probably have in your low-carb pantry right now.

All quantities, ingredients, and instructions are in the recipe card below.

For the chocolate coconut flour pie crust:

• Butter – you can use salted butter or unsalted butter then add a pinch of salt according to your taste.
• Sweetener – use your favored sugar replacement and add more or less sweetener according to your sweet tooth.
• Cocoa powder – always check the labels to make sure you buy unsweetened cocoa powder with no added sugar.
• Coconut flour – if you don’t like coconut flour pie crust, you can use the almond flour pie crust instead.
• Egg – this is to hold the pie crust together.

For the chocolate keto pumpkin pie filling:

• Cooked pumpkin – you can use canned pumpkin puree, canned pumpkin pie filling, or leftover cooked mashed pumpkin. Make sure it is low in moisture otherwise the pie filling will not set.
• Cream cheese – always use full-fat cream cheese otherwise the pie filling will be too soft and runny.
• Sweetener – use your favored sugar replacement and add more or less according to your sweet tooth.
• Cocoa powder – always check the labels to make sure you buy unsweetened cocoa powder.
• Spices – you may either use the spices stated in the recipe OR use homemade pumpkin pie spice.

How to make the pie crust

Mix all the coconut flour pie crust ingredients together in a food processor (or large mixing bowl) then press into a buttered pie dish that has been lined with baking parchment paper.

You can also use a pie plate or shallow pie pan.

Bake in the middle rack of the oven until slightly golden, but not overcooked.

How to make pumpkin pie filling

While the pie crust is baking, place all the chocolate keto pumpkin pie filling ingredients into a food processor and pulse until smooth.

Alternatively, place the ingredients in a large mixing bowl and mix by hand, or use a stick/immersion blender.

Once the chocolate pumpkin pie filling is smooth and lump-free, pour it onto the baked chocolate pie base.

Bake until the pumpkin pie filling is cooked in the center. Test with a clean knife, and make sure it comes out clean with no raw pie filling.

How to serve pumpkin pie

You can serve the low-carb keto chocolate pumpkin pie either hot or cold.

Let the pie cool before slicing it with a sharp knife.

Before serving, dust with a layer of cocoa powder or pumpkin pie spice and serve with sweetened whipped cream with a little added sweetener and vanilla extract.

For extra chocolate flavor, melt some sugar-free chocolate chips and drizzle them over the top of each slice of pie.
