Keto Chocolate Chip Pecan Pie

This Keto Chocolate Chip Pecan Pie Recipe will blow you away! Deep, dark chocolate mingles with pecans in a sugar-free pie that’s almost like biting into a chocolate-pecan brownie. It’s also easy to make this gluten-free chocolate pie and it has fewer calories than you might think.

The holidays are fast approaching as I write this, so it’s time for a holiday pie. A pie everyone will love, especially my father who loves pecans. So I decided to start the holiday season off with a healthy spin on the classic American pecan pie and create my own take on the Chocolate Chip Pecan Pie.

It’s definitely a success! This pie gushes with so much flavor and texture. In fact, it’s hard to believe that this sugarfree chocolate pie is made with wholesome ingredients that you can enjoy guilt-free.

No butter – helps keep the saturated fat down

Opt out of sugar and make it 100% sugar free with monk fruit or erythritol

Made with nutritious, low-carb almond flour so it’s a naturally gluten-free chocolate pie

How to make a healthy chocolate chip pecan pie

You’re probably wondering what’s in my pie. Well, I’ll tell you. Apart from dark, Dutched cocoa powder, the Keto Chocolate Pie Crust contains tasty, low-carb almond flour instead of high-carb, all-purpose flour. You might not know this but almond flour actually has a glycemic index that’s under one. In other words, it won’t drive up your glucose. So, this gluten-free chocolate pie is also diabetic-friendly.
You can make this recipe with refined sugar, but I always use zero-calorie monk fruit in my recipes. Monk fruit is a natural sugar replacement that doesn’t have an aftertaste. It actually approximates sugar so well that no ever knows that they’re eating a sugar substitute. Another great thing about monk fruit is that your pie won’t have any calories from sugar.
So, it should come as no surprise that sugar-free dark chocolate chips are also in this pie.
Lastly, I’m not a fan of butter and instead use heart-healthy avocado. So, if you haven’t tried baking with avocados before, you need to try it. Avocados aren’t just an excellent butter replacement from a nutritional standpoint. They also make cake batter, pie filling and frosting super moist and silky. Avocados are really the ultimate dairyfree and paleo-friendly butter substitute as far as I’m concerned.

What sugar-free Chocolate Chip Pecan Pie tastes like

This Chocolate Chip Pecan Pie vanished in less than an hour in my household. It’s a real winner – a true chocolate lover’s dream! It’s really a double-chocolate pie, since the pecans and dark chocolate chips are in a dark chocolate pie crust.
The texture gets its subtle crunch from the luscious blend of pecans, melted dark chocolate chips and gooey dark chocolate chunks that grace the top of the pie.
This pie also isn’t overloaded with sugar. Instead, I keep the sweetener down, letting the tasty dark chocolate flavor prevail. This mouthwatering pie could almost be called a dark chocolate-pecan brownie.

What to serve with Keto Chocolate Pecan Pie

To complement the sumptuous dark chocolate, I recommend serving this pie with a scoop of sugar-free vanilla or butter-pecan ice cream which adds some sweet to the pie. But you don’t have to stop there. You can melt a dark chocolate bar and drizzle it over the pie or over the ice cream. Everyone will be impressed!
