How to Make Keto Pecan Pie {Quick Overview}
This is just a quick overview of some of the steps involved in making the low carb pecan pie. For the recipe in detail, including exact measurements used at each step, scroll to the recipe card at the end of the post.
Step 1: Make the Keto Pie Crust
Preheat oven to temperature on recipe card. Combine heavy whipping cream, eggs, and vanilla extract. (Photo 1)
Whisk until combined. (Photo 2)
In a small bowl, whip butter with a hand mixer on medium for two minutes. Add whipped butter to whisked egg mixture. (Photo 3)
In another small bowl, combine coconut flour, salt, and Swerve Confectioners. (Photo 4)
Add to wet ingredients and thoroughly combine. (Photo 5)
Press into a 9” pie pan that has been lightly sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. (Photo 6)
Add to preheated oven and bake for five minutes. Remove from oven and let cool while making pie filling. (Photo 7)
Step 2: Make the Keto Pie Filling
Get out your cooled pie crust and preheat oven to temperature on recipe card. (Photo 1)
Add butter, Swerve Granular, and Swerve Brown to a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer and heat until golden brown (about five minutes), stirring frequently with a wooden spoon. (Photo 2)
TIP: When fully cooked, the mixture should be able to coat the back of a spoon.
Remove from heat, then add salt, vanilla extract, and maple extract. Stir thoroughly to combine.
Let mixture cool for at least 25 minutes. (You want it to be cool enough that it won’t cook the eggs.) Add eggs and whisk in until the mixture is well-combined. (Photo 3)
Into bottom of pie crust, add chopped pecans (Photo 4) then the filling mixture.
Top pie with whole pecan halves. (Photo 5)
Place in preheated oven and bake until top is dark brown and filling is slightly bubbly, thick, and almost set (the filling will still jiggle slightly, but it won’t be overly jiggly), approximately 30 to 40 minutes.
Take it out of the oven, let it cool, and you will end up with this gorgeous keto-friendly pie. 😍
TIP: To make this keto pie even better, top it with a generous serving of Keto Whipped Cream!

Can I Eat Pecan Pie on the Keto Diet?
In order to eat pecan pie on the keto diet you must substitute the high carb ingredients with low carb ingredients. For example, you must substitute the flour pie crust with a low carb pie crust made from almond or coconut flour. And you must substitute sugar and molasses with keto and low carb alternatives like monk fruit and erythritol.
How Do I Make Pecan Pie Keto-Friendly?
You can make pecan pie keto-friendly by using erythritol, or monk fruit, as a substitute for sugar and molasses for the pie sweetener. Also, you must use a low carb pie crust made from almond or coconut flour. Many low carb pecan pies (like ours) have managed to perfect the taste using low carb ingredients that most people can barely tell that the pie is keto-friendly.
