This keto chocolate pecan pie has a buttery coconut flour pie crust, filled with a rich and creamy chocolate pecan filling. Pecan pie at it's best! Low carb and gluten free, this is a welcome pie to your holiday table.

A variation of the classic pecan pie with added chocolate. What's not to love? We loved this so much that I baked it again after the first one. The combination of chocolate with the toasted chopped pecans is just a divine flavor.

We added bourbon to our second bake. Cannot recommend that enough too!

How many carbs in pecan pie?

Traditional pecan pie made with a flour pie crust and a sugary filling can be up to 65g net carbs! This low carb sugar free recipe has 6g net carbs a slice. It's amazing how many carbs are in white flour and sugar!

Ingredients for the low carb pie crust

Coconut flour is used for this pie crust, purely as I bake a lot with it. You could use almond flour for the pie crust. We have an almond flour pie crust in our Peanut Butter Pie for guidance.

Ingredients for the sugar free keto pecan pie filling

We used a brown monkfruit sweetener for the extra flavour it gives, but a white sweetener could be used too.

How to make keto chocolate pecan pie

This is an easy low carb pie recipe that you will want to make again and again! The pie crust is baked blind for 10 to 15 minutes to firm up before adding the filling.

Pecans are toasted before being added to the filling for a great flavour. Toasting the pecans brings out their flavour and we recommend it.

The keto pie crust

This pie crust is pressed into the pie dish meaning that there is no rolling in between parchment paper. It's a slightly sticky dough and might stick to the parchment paper.

1. Place all the ingredients in a food processor and pulse until mixed.
2. Form into a dough, wrap in parchment paper and chill for 30 minutes in the refrigerator to firm. It makes it easier to press into the pie dish.
3. Place in a buttered 9 inch pie dish and press out along the bottom and the sides as evenly as you can.
4. You are ready to blind bake the crust.

The keto chocolate pecan pie filling

Rich, fudgy, chocolate filling with pecans is almost a perfect match. Once your pecans are toasted the filling is easily made in one bowl.

The pecan topping is purely optional. We covered our pie in pecan halves as it looked pretty and gives an extra crunch. It will increase the carb content though. You could add just a few on top rather than packing in the pecans as we did. I need pretty photos to lure you into trying my recipe!

1. Melt the butter and chocolate chips.
2. Add the other ingredients and mix. Yes, it's that simple!
3. Pour the mixture into the blind baked pie crust and top with pecans (if you wish).
4. Our tart is ready to bake.

How do you know if a pecan pie is done?

The top of the pie should be fairly firm. A little jiggle in the center is fine as the filling will firm once cooled and stored in the refrigerator .

How to serve low carb pecan pie

Although you could serve this sugar free pecan pie warm, we recommend that the pie is allowed to completely cool. If you keep the pie in the refrigerator overnight, the filling firms up and takes on a delicious fudgy chocolate and crunchy nut filling.

You could warm the pie gently after cooling if you are to serve it the next day. Warm it in the oven for 5-10 minutes.

Serve with a large dollop of whipped cream or sugar free ice cream. Try a serving of our keto butter pecan ice cream with it. I laughed at my photos as my cream melted faster than I expected in our heat!

How to store and freeze pecan pie

This low carb pecan pie should be stored in the refrigerator and covered as you don't want it to absorb any of the other smells in your fridge. It should last up to 5 days in the fridge.

If you want to freeze the pie, slice it and wrap the slices in parchment paper. Place in an air tight container or zip lock bag and they should last in the freezer for 3 months.

Recipe Tips

Add bourbon or whiskey to the pie filling for an extra flavour. We tried it and loved it. Add about ¼ cup to the filling mixture and taste test. Adults only though!

This could be adapted to be made into a crustless pecan pie recipe. Omit the pie crust and bake the filling in a butter pie dish.

If the pie edges start to darken when you are baking the filling, cover them with foil.
