Pecan Pie versus Pecan Cream Pie
Traditional pecan pie has quite a few steps to it, but is definitely a holiday favorite.
Pecan pie can of course can be made into a low carb pecan pie recipe, (in fact I have one included in my cookbook, Naturally Keto), but when you are looking for a bit of a change from a regular pecan pie, this is a great recipe for your holiday table.
Our keto pecan cream pie is a no baking required recipe!
The filling mixture uses heavy cream to stiff peaks to make whipped cream and then adds a cream cheese mixture that is combined with a low carb brown sugar substitute.
Instead of pure maple syrup that would be used in a high carb pecan pie, we use a low carb, sugar free maple syrup which resembles a classic pecan pie flavor.
No Bake Keto Pie Crust
This easy no bake, chocolate keto pie crust is made quickly in your food processor and pressed into the pie dish, with little effort.
If you are looking for an easy no bake low-carb pie recipe for the holiday season, this is the crust to use!
I have another keto low carb pie crust that would work for this low-carb dessert which is my coconut flour pie crust or my chocolate pie crust, both you need to bake though.

Crust Ingredients
coconut flour
butter
Pecan Filling Ingredients
heavy cream
cream cheese
Lakanto sugar free maple syrup
caramel stevia
chopped pecans
Instructions
Chocolate Pie Crust
Add all ingredients into a food processor and process until smooth.
Grease a 9 inch pie plate and press mixture into pan as evenly as possible.
Pecan Cream Filling
In a large mixing bowl combine the heavy whipping cream with vanilla stevia and vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer or stand mixer until stiff peaks form.
In another bowl, combine the room temperature cream cheese with Swerve confectioners, sugar free maple syrup, caramel stevia and a pinch of salt. Beat until smooth and creamy.
Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture and stir together until combined. Stir in 1 cup chopped pecans.
Spread mixture into pie crust. Sprinkle remaining pecans on top of the pie.
Cover and refrigerate for 6-8 hours or for best results overnight.
Optional topping for decoration; I like to add more whipped cream around the edges of the pie using my whipped cream canister to decorate with the star tip. I then add more chopped pecans but pecan halves would also look very nice around the edges of the pie.
Storage: Cover with plastic wrap or place leftover pieces in an airtight container and refrigerate for up 5 days.

My 10 year old granddaughter made this with very little help from me. She's a carb addict but slowly learning that her Nanny's desserts can be really tasty. She thought this was better than a Debbie cake and decided if I found her more easy sugar free recipes she wouldn't need to eat the carb loaded desserts. All the carb lovers gave it a thumbs up and declared it a keeper.
Brenda Bennett
That's amazing! Tell her I am so proud of her and thank you!

And the SUGAR FREE LOW CARB KETO PECAN CREAM PIE (GLUTEN FREE, NO BAKE) be frozen ahead of time?
Alesia Stephens
Did I miss something?You said serving 1 slice. How many slices are in the pie?
Brenda
In the recipe card, right under title and pic shows 12 servings.
Ellen E
Step 1 under the filling mentions vanilla extract, but unless I’m missing it, I don’t see a measurement or listing for vanilla extract in the ingredients list. Any guidance?
Brenda
It was missing, thanks for catching that!
Traicy
This pie is really easy to make and SO good!! I will definitely make it again.
Brenda
Thank you!
Stef
Is there anything you can sub for the liquid vanilla Stevia and liquid caramel Stevia? I have everything else on hand and don't want to have to drive a 30 minutes there and 30 minutes back trip to the store.
Brenda
They both provide sweetness and more flavor so you would just need to add more sweetener of choice and use vanilla extract and caramel extract if you have it.
Jayme
Could you do it vegan possibly too with coconut cream and vegan cream cheese?
Brenda
Absolutely!
D Martin
May be keto friendly but looks high in fat content. Heavy cream, butter. Cream cheese.
Brenda
It's dessert, not something eaten daily.
Charlotte
my granddaughter chose this as the birthday cake for Jesus this year. it was a huge hit!
Brenda
Love to hear that, thank you!

Coconut allergy here, what could I substitute for the coconut flour?
Brenda
You could make a different crust or use another flour but only half or a 1/3 of what I used for coconut flour.
Joy Blaylock
I made this today and it was so good. Thank you for sharing your recipe. ❤❤❤
Brenda
Thank you Joy!
Sharon
This recipe for Pecan Cream Pie sounds delicious but when I printed it the crust recipe is for a different pie (one that has to be baked, I assume). Hopefully you can change it to print the no-bake chocolate crust. Many thanks!
Brenda
Hmmm, that is weird as I checked and tried to print and it is the same as the written recipe card. Please try again or refresh your browser because i am seeing the bo bake chocolate crust in the recipe and for printing it as well.
Marilyn
What could you use instead of sunflower seed flour?
Brenda
Actually it's sunflower seeds or you could use pumpkin seeds or almonds if you prefer.
Amy Gordon
I just chopped up additional pecans and tossed in the food processor! Yum
