Ingredients
  

Pie Crust

  • 4 tbsp  unsalted butter melted
  • 1 1/2 cups Almond flour
  • 1/2 cups Hazelnut flour or almond flour
  • 1/4 cup erythritol
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Pie Filling

  • 15 oz pumpkin puree, canned
  • 1/2 cup erythritol
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream

Whipped cream topping

  • 2/3 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract optional
  • 1 tbsp powdered erythritol optional
  • ground cinnamon sprinkle on top

Instructions
 

Pie Crust

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Add the butter, almond flour, hazelnut flour, sweetener, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt to a medium-sized bowl. Mix together until crumbly, and well combined.
  • Evenly press the crust mixture over the bottom and sides of a 9" (23 cm), un-greased pie plate. Set aside.

Pumpkin filling

  • In a medium-sized bowl, use a hand mixer to combine the pumpkin purée, sweetener, butter, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Pour in the egg and the heavy whipping cream, and mix until just combined.
  • Pour the filling into the pie crust. Place aluminum foil or a pie shield along the crust edges, to prevent browning too quickly. Bake on the middle oven rack for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is just set.
  • Cool on a wire rack for 2 hours, or until at room temperature. Serve at room temperature or refrigerate for several hours before serving.

Whipped cream topping

  • Add the heavy cream, vanilla, and sweetener to a medium-sized bowl. Using an electric mixer, whisk at medium speed, until soft peaks form.
  • For serving, slice the pie, and top with a dollop of whipped cream, and a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.
