Time to cool down, then into the fridge she goes, until Friday!
That is a purty looking pumpkin pie!
amy campbell thank you! It is my first attempt at making a pie from scratch, ever. As it’s cooling, it’s not as jiggly as it was when I pulled it out of the oven and it’s sinking a little, so I am hoping it sets well in the fridge once it’s not hot anymore.
I almost forgot to tell you…..
My mom made a pumpkin pie with a cream cheese and pecan base two years ago. It was delicious. I’m sure the cream cheese base had sugar in it though.
You might be able to whip up something with your skills.
It will solidify once it cools Bobbi Jo Woods .?
Gabrielle M. There is a low carb version of that out there already, here:

I’m not sure I’d like it. I don’t like suuuuper sweet, but I like pumpkin pie, which isn’t really that sweet (neither was the crust)
Looks like it’s already starting to, amy campbell – thanks!
Bobbi Jo Woods Mmmm. I’d be all over that.
I’m pretty excited that my “ Apple A Day “ health food store is starting to carry low carb products. Findlay is finally getting a wider variety of choices for those of us who like to eat / make healthier choices.
I’d prefer to give a local business the money than Amazon.
Gabrielle M. that’s cool. Yeah a lot of people just don’t want to cook their own (I know you don’t!)
I really love cooking, though, and probably can’t afford the store bought stuff, anyway. But I’m glad low carb is gaining wider acceptance!
Bobbi Jo Woods Why cook when I have a hubby who loves to cook like you do? ?
I prefer to clean the kitchen since I’m OCD about the cleanliness. He hates cleanup. < match made in heaven > lol
Sweet
I will follow it into the fridge!
It’s been in there for hours
Oh this looks delicious.Mmmmmmmhmm 🙂
Totally firmed up in the fridge. Crust doesn’t look too crumbly at the edges. I’m feeling confident this will be good. I scraped a tiny bit of excess filling from the edge and tasted it. No one will notice. Tasted like pumpkin pie.
Sounds good to me. Always good to check it before hand. You don’t want it tasting bad if you have a chance to do a redo. This looks like a winner! 🙂
I may make another between now and Friday because I am tempted to dig into this one to get a taste
Stats:
Roughly 275-310 cals (depends on size you cut it–I made 8 pieces)
8 grams net carbohydrates
Recipe here:
sugarfreemom.com – Low Carb Sugar-Free Pumpkin Pie
ZERO sugar, NO wheat/flour, NO nuts or almonds
(can be made dairy-free if you use almond or coconut milk and coconut oil instead of butter) but does have eggs.
Pie was a success with all who tried it. One fell off the top of the fridge and died immediately and had to be buried in the kitchen trash. RIP
But there was plenty bc someone else brought other kinds of pie, and I got to take home leftovers!
(ps – feel free to ask me how the hell a pie could fall from the top of a fridge)
Lol. Sorry, I almost wish someone was underneath it when it fell. That? Funny Christmas story for years
Bobbi Jo Woods five second rule?
Gabrielle M. I used to be the only one who could reach the top of the fridge at my mom’s house, until she got married to a tall guy who lives there (Bill). Now he keeps things up there and so I’m sad because that was my spot to put things I knew I needed later but could be out of the way for now, that mom would never have to worry about retrieving since she’s at least a full head shorter than all of us. Bill had his grabber thingy up there and when he went to slide it off the fridge, the pie went over. Being in a disposable tin pan, it flopped all the contents to one side when it fell and was a pile of mush. Like I said, it was lucky that other people brought pie (and that the pie that fell was the one that had one piece cut out) because these were not cheap to make. Regular wheat flour is like $1.89 for a 4-5 lb bag, while coconut flour and erythritol are $10/lb.
