You can not get an easier keto recipe for a beautiful and silky smooth, sugar-free, low-carb, keto chocolate chess pie! Be sure to read all my tips and tricks for one of the most delicious and easy chocolate custard pie! 

WHAT IS CHOCOLATE CHESS PIE?

It's a Southern pie that consists of eggs, flour, sugar, butter and evaporated milk. Back in the 19th century, as the tale goes, this sugar type pie was created when nuts were hard to come by. When asked what kind of pie it was, the woman replied, "Oh, it's jes' (just) pie" and the term Chess pie was coined. 

Since then it's become a traditional pie to serve anytime, with quite a few variations. The texture is a cross between a custard and a cheesecake with the cheese. It's smooth, silky and simple! You really just dump the ingredients into a mixer and pour into a prepared pie crust then bake! Doesn't get any easier than that! My family absolutely loved my Keto Chocolate Chess Pie that I served at Easter this year! 

KETO PIE CRUST OPTIONS

I've provided for you my Keto Coconut Flour Pie crust with a small adjustment to the original recipe which had a bit more coconut flour. I found using a little less will be best so your pie crust will be a bit thinner at the bottom then you see from my pics. Make sure to really flatten the bottom or yours will look a little lumpy as you can see from my own pics here. Still delicious, just not as pretty with lumps!

If you have my cookbook, Naturally Keto, go to the Keto Pecan Pie recipe and you will find my Almond Flour Crust option. Either will work wonderfully for this Keto Chocolate Chess Pie!

TWO WAYS TO SERVE CHOCOLATE CHESS PIE

It's recommended to serve this pie at room temperature. So if you are planning on making it for company, be sure to prepare it about 4 hours before you are ready to serve it so it is set and not warm.

You could refrigerate, and while that will help set the pie quicker, it tends to make the chocolate filling hard, not as soft and smooth. Of course, whichever way you serve is totally up to you. 

Store any left overs in the refrigerator but allow a few hours on the counter before serving. 

Toppings can be either Sugar Free Confectioners dusted over the pie or Sugar Free Whipped Cream. 

SUGAR FREE LOW CARB SWEETENER OPTIONS

One of our newer favorite low carb sweeteners that doesn't leave an aftertaste, is Better than Sugar by Sweetleaf. They have a confectioners powdered sweetener which would be best for this recipe and they also have a granulated option. It's a combination of erythritol and stevia and has plenty of sweetness as sugar would provide.

 Swerve confectioners sweetener is also low carb, but doesn't have as much sweetness and you may need to use a bit more to get this as sweet as you like.  Allulose would be another option, but again it isn't as sweet as using the Better than Sugar sweetener. Allulose comes in a liquid, and granulated form which would be best for this keto pound cake.
