• Sugar Free Keto Pecan Pie

Fall is definitely pie season and I think the most popular pie of all is a Pecan Pie. So I set out to make a sugar free keto pecan pie recipe that everyone can enjoy around the table.

I was inspired to make this diabetic pecan pie recipe after making my Keto Butter Tarts as they used a lot of the same ingredients and realized they are almost the same thing, except for extra pecans and the size. Plus it is one of my favorite low carb recipes to make.

How to make a sugar free pecan pie?

I strongly suggest watching the instructional video to see the detailed steps to make this keto pecan pie.

STEP 1: Sugar Free Pie Crust

Mix the blanched almond flour with the butter and the cream cheese. You can use two forks to do this but a pastry blender would work as well. Using your hands roll it into a ball, place in plastic wrap and store it in the fridge for an hour.

STEP 2: After removing the dough from the fridge roll it on parchment paper with a sprinkle of coconut flour, then place a parchment paper on top to help roll out the dough to about a 10" diameter.

STEP 3: Place a 9" pie pan on top of the dough and flipped it with the parchment paper underneath so that the dough is on top of the pie plate.

Remove the parchment and then fold in and pinch the edges. Store the pie crust in the fridge until the filling is ready.

• STEP 4: Pie Filling
• In a medium saucepan over low/medium heat mix together the brown sugar swerve and the butter until it's all melted together. Allow it to simmer on low for about 5 minutes.
• Then remove it from the heat and whisk in the heavy whipping cream, vanilla and maple extract. Once the filling is cool to the touch, add the egg and sprinkle in the xanthan gum while vigorously whisking.

STEP 5: Roughly chop the pecan halves (reserve about 20 for the top). Add the chopped pecans into the pie crust and then top with the filling.

Top with the remaining pecan halves and bake in a preheated oven at 350*F for 45-50 minutes. Remove from oven when the center is slightly jiggly but the rest is firm.

I like the pie crust nice and golden brown but if you prefer you can tinfoil the crust before baking.

STEP 6: Remove from oven and allow to cool completely before slicing into this keto friendly low carb pecan pie dessert.

Drizzle the top of the pie with this Low Carb Caramel Sauce recipe or use a low carb maple syrup.

🥣 Equipment used to make

Having the right equipment is essential when baking but sometimes I like to make due with what I have. Here are some of the items I used to make this keto pecan pie.

• I always have parchment paper on hand, for me, it is a must for baking.
• Using silicone rubber spatulas always come in handy when baking, wooden spoons are a good substitute if it's just for mixing
• Having a good strong whisk on helps to bring a lot of ingredients together
• I couldn't have made this recipe without a heavy bottom saucepan
• Making this sugar free pecan pie would not be possible without a pie plate
• My rolling pin does not get enough use as sometimes. I often use a tumbler glass to roll out dough but in a recipe like this I prefer a rolling pin.

Instructions

 

Pie Crust

• In a large bowl combine the almond flour, coconut flour, salt and xanthan gum
  ¾ cup almond flour, ½ cup coconut flour, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon xanthan gum
• add the butter and cream cheese and use a pastry blender or two forks to cut them into the flour mixture until small pellets form.
  ½ cup butter, 1 tablespoon cream cheese
• using a rubber spatula add in the egg and apple cider vinegar and mix together until combined. Then use hands to knead the dough for about a minute and form into a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for an hour.
  1 large egg, 2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• after an hour place a parchment paper on the counter and sprinkle with coconut flour. Remove dough from fridge and place on the parchment, sprinkle more coconut flour on the dough and then top with another sheet of parchment. Roll out the dough until it is about a 10" diameter.
• Once rolled out remove top parchment paper and place a 9" pie plate upside down onto the dough. Placing one hand underneath the parchment paper and on on the bottom of the pie plate, flip so that the dough is sitting on the pie plate. Gently remove the parchment, fold in and pinch the edges of the pie crust. Set aside in the fridge.

Pie Filling

• Preheat oven to 350°F
• Im a medium saucepan on low/medium heat add the brown sugar swerve and butter. Continue to stir regularly until all is melted and dissolved. Allow to simmer for 5 minutes while continuing to stir.
  ½ cup butter, ¾ cup swerve brown sugar
• Remove from heat and whisk in the heavy whipping cream, vanilla and maple extract.
  1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream, ¼ teaspoon Maple Extract
• Once cool to the touch whisk in the egg and sprinkle in the xanthan gum a little at a time while continuing to whisk.
  1 large egg, ¼ teaspoon xanthan gum
• Roughly chop the pecans halves, reserving about 20 halves for the top of the pie.
  1.5 cups pecan halves
• Remove pie crust from the fridge and transfer the chopped pecans to the crust, spread them out evenly. Top with the pie filling and then evenly place the 20 pecan halves facing up on top of the filling.
• Bake in the oven at 350*F for 45-50 minutes. Once the pie is slightly jiggly in the centre but firm around it, the pie is ready. (you can place tinfoil around the crust if you want a more lighter crust)

Notes

Top Tip: once cooled for a while the filling will crystallize a little bit. Simply microwave a slice for about 20 seconds to bring it back to a better consistency.
