This healthy pumpkin pie looks so festive and is a crowd-pleaser. A blend of coconut and almond flours, butter, and cream cheese creates a wonderfully nutty crust with a pleasantly crumbly texture. It's topped with a tender pumpkin filling, with a sweet and spicy flavor, thanks to pumpkin pie spice and a touch of molasses for a hint of caramel. Before serving, the completely cooled pie is topped with a fluffy cloud of whipped cream sweetened with erythritol.

Preparation:

Step 1
• Cake:
  
  Place the almond flour, coconut flour, sweetener, and salt in a food processor and pulse until evenly distributed. Add the butter and cream cheese and pulse until the mixture is very crumbly, with pea-sized pieces of butter. Add the egg and continue to pulse just until the dough begins to come together into a sticky, loose mass.
Step 2
• Place the dough on a piece of plastic wrap, holding it by the wrap, and gently knead the dough. Form it into a disk and wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until the dough is completely set, at least 1 hour or overnight.
Step 3
• Lightly spray a 9-inch pie pan with cooking spray.
Step 4
• Lightly dust a sheet of parchment with coconut flour. Place the chilled dough disk in the center of the parchment, lightly dust the top with coconut flour, and cover with another sheet of parchment. Gently roll the dough out into a circle large enough to fit into the prepared pie pan. This is a very fragile dough and may crack; if this happens, simply smooth out the cracks. If the dough becomes too warm to handle, place it directly on the parchment on a baking sheet and refrigerate to firm up again before continuing to roll.
Step 5
• Using parchment paper, transfer the dough to the prepared pie pan. Again, the dough may crack or break in various places. Press the cracks with your fingers and smooth them out. Trim the edges and crimp as desired. Freeze the pan with the dough for 0.5-1 hour.
Step 6
• Preheat oven to 190°C.
Step 7
• Filling:
  
  Combine the sweetener, pumpkin pie spice, and salt in a small bowl; set aside. In a large bowl, beat the pumpkin puree, heavy cream, molasses (if using), vanilla extract, and eggs with a hand mixer. Add the spice mixture and continue beating until smooth.
Step 8
• Place the frozen dough on a baking sheet and loosely cover the edges with foil. Pour the filling into the center and bake for 50 minutes. Carefully remove the foil from the edges and continue baking until golden brown and the filling is set within an inch of the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center, another 5-10 minutes. Let cool completely. As the cake cools, you may notice a cloudy white coating on the surface. This is due to the erythritol. Simply moisten the surface of the cake with a little water before serving to remove the coating..
  
  Whipped cream:
  
  In a large bowl, combine the cream and sweetener and beat with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form. Serve the pie with a dollop of whipped cream on top of each serving.
  
  Note
  
  Erythritol is a sugar substitute that can be found in most health food stores or online.
