Low Carb Dessert: Delicate Pumpkin Pie

A pie that even pumpkin lovers fall in love with (hello Karen!). And what is autumn without pumpkin pie?

Ingredients

• For the base
• 180 g almond flour
• 3 tablespoons flaxseed flour
• a pinch of salt
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons butter
• For filling
• 400 g baked pumpkin (without peel) or ready-made pumpkin puree
• 350 ml 33-35% cream
• 2 eggs
• 1 yolk
• 1/2 lemon zest
• a pinch of salt
• sweetener (optional)
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp ginger
• a pinch of nutmeg

Directions

1. Let's get to the basics first. Combine all dry ingredients - almond flour, flaxseed flour and salt. To this mixture add an egg, melted butter (not hot!) And mix using a spoon
2. Take a mold 24-28 cm in diameter. Lay the base and sides with baking paper (if you are confident in your shape, you can only grease it with oil, I took a chance to cook without paper, and it didn't stick to me)
3. Put the resulting mixture in the mold and smooth it well by making the sides. We will have a liquid filling, so we will not let it leak. Send the dough with the mold to the refrigerator for 30-40 minutes. If more - not scary
4. Now is the time to tackle the airy and incredibly tender filling. Peel the pumpkin, cut it into medium sized pieces and place in the oven at 200 ° C for 20 minutes. Our goal is to make these pieces soft. The larger the piece, the longer it will take to cook.
5. Once the pumpkin is cooked and cooled, place it in a blender and chop it. Add cream, eggs, another yolk, lemon zest, all the spices, sweetener to the pumpkin puree (depending on the pumpkin variety, I added 1 tablespoon of a mixture of erythritol and stevia) and beat for a couple of minutes
6. Preheat oven to 200 ° C. Remove the baking dish with the dough from the refrigerator and pour the resulting pumpkin mixture directly into it to the edges of the rim
7. Send everything to the oven for 20 minutes. Then lower the temperature to 180 ° C and bake for another 35 minutes. Once the surface is browned well, your pumpkin pie is ready. Let it cool completely before serving to guests.
8. You can (read - you need to) decorate the top with whipped cream and cinnamon.
