Make a rich, traditional pecan pie without sugar or corn syrup using this reliable, low carb recipe. This dessert uses an almond flour crust and keto-friendly sweeteners for a perfect holiday treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1/4 cup cold butter, cubed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon cold water
  • 1 cup pecan halves, plus extra for topping
  • 1/2 cup erythritol or monk fruit blend sweetener
  • 1/2 cup allulose or liquid monk fruit sweetener
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Combine almond flour and cold butter in a bowl. Cut the butter into the flour using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Add the egg and cold water. Mix until a dough forms. Do not overmix.
  3. Press the dough evenly into a 9-inch pie plate. Chill the crust for 30 minutes.
  4. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  5. Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together the erythritol/monk fruit blend, allulose/liquid sweetener, heavy cream, 2 beaten eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
  6. Stir in the 1 cup of pecan halves.
  7. Pour the filling mixture into the chilled crust. Arrange extra pecan halves decoratively on top if desired.
  8. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes. The center should be mostly set but still have a slight jiggle.
  9. Cool the pie completely on a wire rack for at least 3 hours before slicing. This allows the sugar-free filling to firm up properly.

Notes

  • For a crustless keto pecan pie, grease a 9-inch pie dish well and skip steps 1 through 3. Pour the filling directly into the dish and bake, checking for doneness around 35 minutes.
  • If your filling seems too thin after baking, cool it completely; the texture improves significantly as it chills.
  • Use a granular sweetener blend that measures 1:1 with sugar for the best results in the filling.
