This crustless pumpkin pie with coconut flakes is a delicious Autumn dessert, low in calories, healthy and full of wonderful flavors!
This is the first time I use pumpkin in a dessert and I absolutely fell in love with it! I bought a big, yummy pumpkin from the farmers market today and had no idea what to do with it. I decided to make a dessert and use it to create a creamy, flavorful, Autumn-inspired crustless pumpkin pie with coconut! It turned out great and it is really easy to make!
This is a must-try Autumn dessert! Your steam oven will basically do all the work. Don’t worry if you don’t have a steam oven, you can bake it too. I’ll tell you how in the recipe below. 😉
Initially, I wanted to make this a raw crustless pumpkin pie, but as you all know, pumpkin tastes a lot better when cooked. So I decided to use my steam oven instead. I made it vegan and completely refined sugar-free!
You’ll love the creamy texture with a subtle pumpkin and coconut aroma. This crustless pumpkin pie is the perfect Fall dessert and it is healthy too! Give it a try!

Arata intr-un mare fel! Oare s-ar combina bine si cu laptele de migdale, in locul celui de cocos? Ar fi necesare si alte ingrediente in acest caz?

Mersi Andreea! Sigur merge f bine si cu lapte de migdale. Nu ar mai fi nevoie si de alte ingrediente.

Such beautiful photos- and such a great flavour combination. I love pumpkin and coconut together in curries, but hadn't thought about desserts. Thank you!
