How To Make Crustless Pumpkin Pie (Slow Cooker)
Here's how to make this easy slow cooker crustless pumpkin pie:
- In a medium-sized bowl, beat eggs, granulated sugar(or substitute), salt, and pumpkin pie spice. Stir in pumpkin and heavy cream.
2. Using half the filling fill 4 custard dishes evenly.
3. Pour 2 cups of hot water into the bottom of the slow cooker. Place custard dishes on the bottom.
4. Cover and cook on low until done. Remove from the crockpot, cool completely, and then refrigerate. Repeat for remaining ramekins.
Hint: This recipe makes 8 small personal-size pumpkin pies. Standard-sized slow cookers won't hold 8 at a time, but 4 at a time can be done. If you only want 4, you can freeze the filling for another time in the future!
How to Serve It
Serve crock pot pumpkin pie with a dollop of regular or low-sugar Cool Whip. You can also use whipped cream, either store-bought or homemade!
Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon and a small mint leaf.
Crumble some gingerbread cookies over the top for an added texture if desired.
Make pie crust cutouts for garnish if desired--make in advance to save time. Use a cookie cutter to cut shapes out of any pie crust and bake until golden brown. Let them cool, and add on top for garnish.
Crock Pot Pumpkin Pie Tips
- Place a layer of paper towel under your crockpot lid to prevent condensation from dripping onto your pie.
- Try to resist opening your crockpot while it is cooking. Removing the lid will allow the heat to escape and will result in a longer cooking time.
- Make your single-serve pies 1-2 days ahead of time. You can also freeze the filling and thaw it in the fridge when ready to use.
FAQ's
Once cooled, store in the fridge in either an air-tight pie container or cover with saran wrap. You can store this pie for up to 5 days in the fridge.
If you are using fresh pumpkin to make a pumpkin pie, it is best to use a pie pumpkin, which is usually sugar pumpkin. They are small and round in size and can come in either white or orange. In a pinch and for convenience, I use canned pureed pumpkin and add my own spices and sugar.
Actually, no, they are not the same thing. Canned pumpkin is just plain pureed pumpkin without any additives to it. In contrast, pumpkin pie filling is pureed pumpkin with sugar and spices in it already. So, when you are adding your own spices, make sure you get a plain, pureed canned pumpkin.

- AUTHOR'S NOTE: This recipe makes 8 small personal-size pumpkin pies. Most crockpots cannot hold this many custard cups. I usually cook 4 at a time, 1 to 2 days ahead of time. The actual cooking process is totally hands-off and quite easy. If you only want 4 - it is much easier to freeze the rest of the filling so it's ready for the next time the craving strikes, rather than try and halve the recipe. Enjoy!
- VARIATIONS: Line the bottom of a crockpot with aluminum foil. Pour in the batter and cook 2½ to 4 hours, or until the knife inserted near the middle comes out clean.
- TIP TIPS: These pies can be made 1 to 2 days ahead of time. The pie filling can be made and frozen in advance. Thaw in the refrigerator.
- SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Serve with a dollop of whipped cream, crumbled gingersnaps, and a small mint leaf. Top with small pie crust cutouts if desired. See below.
- PIE CRUST CUTOUTS: (Can be made in advance.) Because this is a crustless pie, I love to cut fall shapes out of refrigerated pie crust then bake and place on top for decoration. Bake the cutouts at 450 degrees for 7 to 9 minutes or until they are lightly golden. Let cool before placing on the pies.
