Instructions
1
Preheat and prep. Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish, deep pie plate, or 8-inch square baking dish.
2
Blend the base. In a blender (or large bowl with a whisk), combine pumpkin puree, eggs, Greek yogurt, almond milk, protein powder, sweetener, vanilla, salt, and all spices. Blend 30–45 seconds until completely smooth and no protein powder lumps remain.
3
Pour and bake. Pour the mixture into the prepared dish. Smooth the top. Bake 28–32 minutes until the center is just set (it should still have a slight jiggle) and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out mostly clean.
4
Cool completely. Remove from oven and let cool on a rack for 20–30 minutes, then refrigerate at least 1 hour (or overnight). The custard firms up as it chills.
5
Serve. Scoop or slice into 6 portions. Top with a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream and a dusting of cinnamon. Enjoy cold or slightly warmed.
