Description
A rich, gooey, classic-style keto pecan pie with a buttery nut topping and smooth custard filling baked inside a flaky grain-free crust.
Ingredients
1 recipe Keto Pie Crust
For the Filling:
1 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup brown sugar substitute
1 cup heavy cream
2 cups pecans, chopped
3 large eggs, room temperature
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp maple extract (optional)
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 cup pecans, for topping
Instructions
- Prepare the keto almond flour pie crust according to its recipe instructions and set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar substitute, heavy cream, eggs, vanilla, maple extract (if using), and sea salt until smooth.
- Stir in the chopped pecans.
- Pour the filling into the baked pie crust and arrange pecan halves decoratively on top.
- Cover the pie loosely with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 10–15 minutes, until the center is mostly set with a slight jiggle.
- Cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to firm up.
- Slice and serve with keto whipped cream or sugar-free vanilla ice cream.
Notes
Toast pecans before adding for deeper flavor.
Add a pinch of cinnamon for warmth.
Swap maple extract for almond extract for a twist.
Bake slightly less for a softer filling, or longer for a firmer one.
