How to Make Keto Pecan Pie

This no-bake Keto Pecan Pie comes together in just 5 minutes, making it perfect for a last-minute keto treat!

Preparing the Keto Pie Crust

In a medium-sized bowl, combine all the crust ingredients: 1 ½ tablespoons of melted salted butter, ½ cup of blanched almond flour, 3 tablespoons of confectioners Swerve, ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract, a pinch of cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix these ingredients until they become crumbly, then use your hands to form the mixture into a cohesive ball of dough.

Next, take a 4-inch bowl and coat it lightly with baking spray. Place the dough ball into the prepared bowl. Use your fingers to press the dough out evenly, covering the bottom of the bowl and extending halfway up its sides to form the pie crust. For a slightly firmer crust, you can optionally microwave it in 2-3 intervals of 30 seconds each. If you choose to microwave, transfer the crust to the freezer briefly to cool and firm up.

Making the Sugar-Free Filling

In a separate small bowl, combine all the filling ingredients except the pecans: 2 ½ tablespoons of salted butter, 3 tablespoons of brown Swerve, and 1 teaspoon of 0 carb maple syrup (if using). Microwave this mixture for about 30-45 seconds, just until the Swerve completely dissolves into the butter. Once dissolved, mix the filling ingredients thoroughly until smooth.

Assembling Your Pecan Pie

Now it’s time to assemble your pie! Take half of the pecans and scatter them evenly into the bottom of your prepared pie crust. Next, pour the sugar-free filling over the pecans in the crust. Finally, arrange the remaining pecans on top of the filling, gently pressing them down to embed them into the soft filling.

Serving Your Keto Pecan Pie

Your Keto Pecan Pie is ready to enjoy immediately! If you prefer a more set filling, you can refrigerate the pie for a short while before eating. Serve as a quick dessert or a satisfying low-carb treat.

Tips for Perfect Keto Pecan Pie

Don’t Over-Microwave the Crust

If you choose to microwave the crust, do so in short intervals (30 seconds) and watch it closely to prevent overcooking. The goal is just to firm it up slightly.

Ensure Sweetener Dissolves

When making the filling, microwave just long enough for the brown Swerve to completely dissolve into the butter. This ensures a smooth, non-gritty filling.

Taste Your Sweetener

Sweetener potency can vary. Always taste your filling mixture and adjust the amount of Swerve or maple syrup if needed to suit your preferred level of sweetness.

Chill for a Firmer Set

While delicious immediately, refrigerating the pie for about 30 minutes can help the filling set more firmly, providing a more traditional pie texture.
