How to Make Keto Sugar-Free Pecan Pie

Ingredients:

• 2 cups almond flour
• 1/3 cup unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 large egg
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 2 tbsp granulated sugar-free sweetener
• 1 1/4 cups pecan halves (toasted)
• 3/4 cup sugar-free sweetener (allulose recommended)
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 3 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 cup heavy cream

Directions:

Make the Crust:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Mix the almond flour, melted butter, egg, sweetener, and salt in a bowl to form a dough.
3. Press the dough into a 9-inch pie pan, smoothing it evenly across the bottom and up the sides.
4. Pre-bake the crust for 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Prepare the Filling:

1. Toast the pecans on a baking sheet in the oven for 5-7 minutes.
2. In a saucepan, melt the butter and sweetener over medium heat, stirring until it bubbles slightly. Remove from heat.
3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, vanilla, salt, and heavy cream. Gradually add the butter mixture, whisking continuously.

Assemble the Pie:

1. Arrange toasted pecans evenly over the pre-baked crust.
2. Pour the filling mixture over the pecans, letting it seep through.
3. Bake the pie for 40-50 minutes or until the filling is set and the top is golden. Cover crust edges with foil if they brown too quickly.

Cool and Serve:

1. Allow the pie to cool for 2-3 hours to set.
2. Slice and serve with sugar-free whipped cream if desired.
