Keto Pecan Pie | Rich, Gooey & Low-Carb Holiday Dessert

This keto pecan pie is a rich, nutty low-carb dessert that’s perfect for the holidays but won’t send your blood sugar through the roof. A buttery, flaky almond flour crust envelops a rich and deep caramelized flavoured filling that is sweetened with either keto-friendly erythritol or allulose. The roasted pecans provide a contrast — crunch, heartiness and depth. Add to that butter, eggs and vanilla working with the flaky magic of pie dough all stirred into that smooth but custard-like texture.

It is a low carb pecan pie which makes it the perfect holiday dessert idea for either Thanksgiving, Christmas or just any special occasion you are celebrating. Add a dollop sugar-free whipped cream for more indulgence. Many of the online version are very high in blood sugar.These healthy low carb Adana Kebabs, they are diabetic-friendly, gluten-free and ketogenic unlike any others. Friends who are not keto will appreciate this one as well.

I like this one warm and a bit scoopable, chilled does hold its shape well. What’s even better is it can be made well in advance, taking one less thing off your plate when you’re ready to party. This recipe brings that rich, delicious dessert flavour without all the carbs. It shows that you can still eat your favourite things on keto and will not cause you to gain weight due to being high in calories.

Notes

• Toasting nuts (especially pecans) adds incredibly bold flavour and more crunch.
• Cool filling slightly before adding eggs to avoid any scrambling.

• Chill until firm — at least 2 hours before cutting.
• Top with some zero calorie whipped cream and voila!
