Ingredients

To keep this recipe strictly zero points, double-check your ingredient labels to ensure no sugars or oils are hidden in the canned products.

  • 1 can (15 oz) Pure Pumpkin Puree (Not pumpkin pie mix, which contains added sugar and spices)

  • 2 Large Eggs (Adds structure and creates the pie’s sliceable custard set)

  • 2 Large Egg Whites (Builds volume without adding extra fat)

  • 1/2 cup Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk (Or unsweetened cashew milk; keep under 30 calories per cup for 0 points)

  • 1/2 cup Granulated Zero-Calorie Sweetener (Monk fruit, Erythritol, or Stevia cup-for-cup substitute)

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Pumpkin Pie Spice (A blend of ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and allspice)

  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon (For an extra burst of cozy warmth)

  • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract

  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt

  • Non-stick Cooking Spray (Butter or coconut spray)

Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions

1.Prep the Oven & Pie Dish:5 minutes.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly coat a 9-inch pie dish or glass pie pan with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.

2.Whisk the Wet Ingredients:2 minutes.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the 2 large eggs and 2 egg whites until smooth and slightly frothy. Whisk in the 15 oz pure pumpkin puree, 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk, and 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract.

3.Combine Sweetener & Spices:2 minutes.

Add 1/2 cup granulated zero-calorie sweetener, 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice, 1 teaspoon extra cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt into the pumpkin mixture. Whisk vigorously until the batter is smooth, glossy, and completely homogenous.

4.Bake the Pie:45 to 50 minutes.

Pour the pumpkin mixture into your prepared pie dish, using a spatula to smooth the top. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 45 to 50 minutes. The pie is done when the edges are set and a knife inserted 1 inch from the center comes out clean. The center should have a slight, soft jiggle.

5.Cool & Set:2 to 3 hours.

Remove the pie from the oven and set it on a wire cooling rack at room temperature for 1 hour. Transfer to the refrigerator for at least 2 hours (preferably overnight) so the custard fully sets and firm up for easy slicing.

 

Chef’s Secrets for the Perfect Texture

  1. Don’t Overbake: Because there is no crust or flour in this recipe, overbaking can cause the eggs to release water, leaving a wet pool at the bottom of the dish. Pull the pie when the center is still slightly jiggly; it will finish firming up as it cools in the fridge.

  2. Chill Before Slicing: Warm crustless pie can feel loose or soft. Patience is key—chilling the pie overnight transforms the texture into a dense, velvety pumpkin slice that holds its shape cleanly under a knife.

  3. Customize the Spice: If you love bold spices, feel free to add a pinch of ground cloves or fresh grated ginger to the batter.

Storing & Serving (The Last of the Recipe)

How to Slice & Serve

Once fully chilled, run a sharp knife around the edge of the pie dish. Slice into 8 equal wedges. Serve plain, or elevate it with a few low-point or zero-point toppings:

  • Fat-Free Whipped Topping: 2 tablespoons adds roughly 15 calories and stays extremely light on points.

  • Cinnamon Dusting: A tiny sprinkle of cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice on top gives it an artisanal bakery look.

  • Pecan Crunch: Top with a tablespoon of toasted chopped pecans just before serving (account for 1–2 points if tracking).

Storage Guidelines

  • Refrigerator: Store leftover slices in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

  • Freezer: Slice the pie into individual wedges, wrap each piece tightly in plastic wrap, and store in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
