Keto Pecan Pie | Only 2 NET CARBS Per Slice

This Keto Pecan Pie tastes like a dream. It has a buttery crisp crust and sweet brown sugary filling with layers of crunchy pecans. But, of course, you'd never be able to tell that this is a sugar free pecan pie with just over 2 NET CARBS per slice!

THE BEST KETO PECAN PIE

This keto pecan pie recipe is my new go-to dessert for the holidays and whenever there's a special occasion. It's just so easy, tasty, and it's always a total crowd-pleaser! Plus, pecan pie is just my all-time favorite pie, so any reason to make it is a good enough reason for me.

And, that's why I'm so excited to share this keto friendly recipe for it.

This keto pie is incredibly rich, has the perfect balance of sweet and saltiness, and tastes so much like a classic pecan pie that uses high sugar corn syrup in the pecan pie filling.

But, if you didn't catch it in the intro, this is a completely sugar free pecan pie, and only has 2 net carbs a slice!

Not to mention, it's also a gluten free pecan pie recipe as well.

I know, all of this seems really hard to believe - especially once you've tasted this pecan pie - but it's true!

What's even crazier is that this keto pecan pie recipe literally takes just 15 minutes of work. The rest is just waiting for your pie to bake to perfection. It seriously doesn't get any better than this!

Oh, and when the pie is baking, you can prepare these keto mashed potatoes, this keto gravy, or this Keto Pumpkin Pie if you're in charge of desserts and really want to blow everyone away.

INGREDIENTS

Even though this keto pecan pie is a timely treat around the holidays, you can really have it all year-round since it's made with basic keto pantry staples and simple ingredients you can get anywhere.

Here's what you'll need for the almond flour pie crust:

• 1 ¾ Cups almond flour 
• Just over 5 ¼ tablespoon cold butter 
• 1 ½ Tbsps granular swerve
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar 
• 3-4 tablespoon cold water 
• Pinch of salt 

And for the keto pecan pie filling:

• 10 ½ Tbsps softened butter 
• ⅔ Cup swerve brown sugar 
• Just over ¾ Cups  full fat coconut milk
•  3 Eggs
• Just under 1 ¼ Cup pecans, chopped 
• Just over ¾ Cups pecan halves

And if you're running to the store, make sure to stock up on the ingredients for this low carb pecan pie. You can use some of them to make this Mini Easy Keto Pecan Pie in just 5 minutes! It might be the best quick and easy single-serve keto dessert you'll ever make. 

Plus, you can use the pecans to make these Keto Pecan Pralines, Keto Butter Pecan Ice Cream, and Keto Candied Pecans.

FLOURS TO USE FOR THIS KETO PECAN PIE

So, to make this keto pecan pie recipe, we will be making an almond flour pie crust. And using almond flour as the base ingredient for this pie crust is what also keeps this pie gluten free as well! 

But, if you're allergic to almond flour - or don't want to use it - you can substitute it with walnut flour, sunflower seed flour, or even pecan flour at a 1:1 ratio.

Now, as always, you'll want to avoid using coconut flour here in place of almond flour. It's not an equal substitute because it's crazy absorbent and will turn your crust for this low carb pecan pie dry and crumbly.

MAKING THIS A SUGAR FREE PECAN PIE

When I serve this keto pecan pie recipe to my family and friends, it always blows their minds when I tell them there's no sugar in it at all.

So, you may be wondering, how can you keep this low carb pecan pie sweet and sugar free at the same time?

Well, my secret is erythritol! And as always, my go-to brand is Swerve. I used Granular Swerve for the crust and Brown Swerve for the filling.

Another great option is to use Lakanto's Monk Fruit Sweetener for the crust and Lakanto's Golden Monk Fruit Sweetener for the filling to get the same incredible results.

And if you're wondering how to substitute monk fruit for Swerve, it's as easy as just using it as a 1:1 replacement for it.

HOW TO MAKE KETO PECAN PIE

Ok, so, this keto pecan pie can be on the table as quickly as 1 hour, and it only takes 15 minutes total of active prep.

And, I know by now you want to dive into this deliciousness ASAP, so let's get into the details of this low carb pecan pie!

STEP 1: MAKING THE CRUST

First, put the almond flour, granular swerve, salt, and cold butter into a mixing bowl and lightly combine them with your hands until they turn into a sandy consistency.

Then, add the apple cider vinegar and cold water to the bowl and mix until everything is well-combined and the dough becomes compact.

Next, coat the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish with butter. Spread the dough evenly on the bottom and along the edges to form the crust.  

Once you have a fully formed pie crust, place the pie dish in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes to let it set.

And by the way, you can actually make this pie crust a couple of days ahead and let it sit in the fridge until you're ready to use it! It'll save you a step and some time if you want to make this keto pecan pie even quicker.

STEP 2: MAKING THE FILLING

After your pie crust has chilled for a bit, preheat the oven to 320 degrees Fahrenheit (160°C).

Then to make the keto pecan pie filling, start by heating the softened butter in a large saucepan on the stove until it starts to turn golden brown.

Next, add the Brown Swerve (brown sugar replacement) to the saucepan of melted butter and stir for about 1-2 minutes. 

Then, follow it with the full-fat coconut milk and let the mixture simmer for a few minutes. After that, take the saucepan off the heat and set it aside.

While the mixture is simmering and resting, transfer the keto pie crust from the fridge to the preheated oven and bake it for 10 minutes.

Now let's finish up the pecan pie filling. Once the coconut milk mixture is no longer boiling but is still warm, add the eggs to the saucepan. Quickly mix everything with a hand mixer or mixer until well-combined.

STEP 3: BAKING THE PIE

Now it's time to assemble and bake the pie!

First, arrange the chopped pecans in an even layer on the par-baked pie crust, then pour the prepared pecan pie filling on top.

Next, bake the pie at 350°F (175°C) for about 45 minutes until the filling hardens.  And halfway through baking, take the pie out of the oven and add the pecan halves over the top. 

Then pop it back in the oven and let the pie finish baking.

Finally, let it cool, then slice, serve and enjoy this delicious keto pecan pie recipe!

STORING KETO PECAN PIE

This recipe for keto pecan pie makes about 8 slices, so there's enough to feed the whole family and have some leftovers for later. Well, that's if everyone doesn't come back for seconds and finish the pie off first!

If you end up saving a few slices, you can cover the pecan pie dish loosely in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Then, after the pie cools completely, transfer it to the fridge, and it will stay good for up to 4 days.

You can also freeze this low carb pecan pie for up to 3 months if you want to make this keto pecan pie ahead of time and have it ready to go for a celebration or family dessert. To freeze, wrap the pie tightly in plastic wrap or tin foil, then store it in a freezer-safe bag or airtight container.

REHEATING THE PIE

To reheat your keto pecan pie, you can bake it in the oven at 200˚F (95°C) for about 10-15 minutes or until it's fully warmed.

And if you're reheating the frozen pie, make sure to thaw it in the fridge overnight before reheating.

WRAPPING IT ALL UP

That is how to make keto pecan pie! I love pecan pie, and this keto diet version is one of my all-time favorite pie recipes. It's effortless to make, uses simple ingredients, and always comes out fantastic.

The combination of nutty pecans, buttery crust, and sweet, velvety pecan pie filling makes this recipe one you'll want to make multiple times a year. 

And the best is that this sugar free pecan pie has just over 2 NET CARBS per slice!

If you make this pie for the holidays, a get-together with friends and family, or just as a weeknight dessert, I guarantee everyone will love it just as much - if not more - than a traditional pecan pie.
