Ingredients

The crust:
Half cup each of roasted/salted macadamia halves, raw pecan pieces, and raw walnut pieces.
Butter, unsalted, 1 Tbsp
The filling:

Tips
Because this recipe makes no effort to eliminate fat, LCLC Pumpkin Pie may be most appreciated by those following ketogenic diets.
Directions
For 12 servings, bake the pie in a square 8" baking dish.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Make the crust:
Combine nuts in a food processor and chop to a coarse crumb. It's better to pick out any pieces still too large than to continue processing all to a fine, floury consistency. Use the 1 Tsbp butter to grease the entire interior of the baking pan. Press the nut crumbs into the bottom of the pan, making an even layer. Set aside.
Make the filling:
Into a medium-sized mixing bowl, empty the contents of the can of organic pumpkin. Add 1 tsp vanilla extract, 2 tsp of liquid stevia, and 1 tsp of pumpkin pie spice blend. Stir with a spoon or fork to blend thoroughly. Then add the 1 cup of heavy whipping cream; stir to blend thoroughly.
In a small mixing bowl, beat 3 eggs to thoroughly blend the yolks and whites. Pour beaten eggs into the seasoned pumpkin and cream mixture. With a fork or whisk, stir briskly to blend the eggs with the pumpkin-cream mixture.
Gently pour the pumpkin pie filling over the pressed crust in the 8"-square baking pan. Transfer filled pan to the oven. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center pulls out clean: check at 45 minutes; depending on the oven, the pie could bake for 60 minutes total.

Served this at Thanksgiving, everyone liked it. Problems I had were: Stevia - there are several brands, each with differing strengths. Some are liquid, some are powdered. It would be helpful to give a sugar equivalent so I can know the right amount to use. Better to use too little than too much. - 12/1/15
