Ingredients
Keto Pecan Crust
- 1½ cups pecans
- 3 tbsp melted butter
- 2 tbsp powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Creamy Pie Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup powdered sugar-free sweetener
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Topping (Optional)
- Chopped pecans
- Sugar-free caramel sauce
- Whipped cream
Why These Ingredients Work
Pecans provide natural richness and structure, while cream cheese and whipped cream create a smooth, luxurious filling without added sugar or carbs.
Ingredient Notes
- Use powdered sweetener for a smooth, non-gritty filling.
- Full-fat cream cheese is essential for the creamiest texture.
- Toast pecans lightly for deeper flavor (optional).
- Monk fruit blends work especially well for sugar-free desserts.
- Chill ingredients beforehand for better whipping results.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Make the Pecan Crust
Add pecans to a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Add melted butter, sweetener, vanilla, and salt. Pulse until the mixture resembles damp sand.
Step 2: Form the Crust
Press the pecan mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a pie dish. Use the back of a spoon to pack it tightly. Place in the refrigerator to set while preparing the filling.
Step 3: Whip the Cream
In a chilled bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
Step 4: Prepare the Filling
In another bowl, beat cream cheese, sweetener, and vanilla until smooth, fluffy, and creamy.
Step 5: Combine & Fill
Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until light and airy. Spoon the filling into the chilled crust and smooth the top.
Step 6: Chill & Set
Refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours, or until fully set. The pie should be firm yet creamy when sliced.
