2 tablespoons keto sweetener (erythritol or monk fruit)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
A pinch of salt
For the Pecan Filling:
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
1/2 cup keto-friendly syrup (such as sugar-free maple syrup)
1/3 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/3 cup keto sweetener
3 large eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Make the Crust:
In a bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, shredded coconut, melted coconut oil, keto sweetener, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until a dough forms.
Press the dough into a pie dish, covering the bottom and up the sides. Prick the crust with a fork.
3. Pre-Bake the Crust:
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until it’s golden brown. Allow it to cool while you prepare the filling.
4. Prepare the Pecan Filling:
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine chopped pecans, keto-friendly syrup, heavy cream, unsalted butter, keto sweetener, beaten eggs, vanilla extract, and salt.
Stir continuously until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
5. Assemble and Bake:
Pour the pecan filling into the pre-baked crust, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the oven for an additional 20-25 minutes or until the filling is set.
6. Cool and Chill:
Allow the Keto Pecan Cream Pie to cool at room temperature for about an hour, then refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours to let the flavors meld and the pie set.
7. Slice and Serve:
Once fully chilled, slice the pie into wedges and serve. Optionally, top with a dollop of keto-friendly whipped cream.
