If you use sugar is NOT keto and no good for diabetics like me. I am very glad she made it like this because now I know how to make it and be able to enjoy it too
I made this pie for Thanksgiving. It’s really a Keto Caramel Pecan Pie. Mine was so ugly I was not about to serve it the regular way so I cut the best looking parts into bite size pieces and it was a hit! Everyone loved it and we didn’t have to serve dessert later bc we ate it while prepping then after our meal. It makes plenty and it’s satisfying so you don’t want a lot. I highly recommend this recipe! Even though I was impatient & didn’t allow it to cool enough before adding the egg and I had small strips of egg in it it still turned out delicious! Thanks Maya!
My mouth is watering already! I cannot wait to try this with my Christmas dinner. Thank you so much for your wonderful recipes that make Keto a breeze!
Could this pecan pie be made by mixing the ingredients together and pour into the unbaked pie shell like a regular pecan pie, with sugar, instead of cooking the ingredients together first?
Hi, I am a new subscriber. Thank you for this channel and this pecan pie recipe. My husband is a brittle diabetic and he loves pecan pie. I am looking for a way to make food in general safer for him. Food is also a challenge for me, too, as I have multiple allergies, especially to fruits. I noticed on your sweetener bag that it says Monk Fruit. Do you know of a natural sweetener, not fruit based because I don't want to risk anaphylaxis with an unknown fruit, that would meet the needs of my diabetic husband? Thank you for any help with this.
Thank you for subscribing, Suzanne! Monk fruit is not usually allergenic but it’s in the melon family, if you’re ok with that then monk fruit is fine (but unlike other melons there are no carbs or calories). If you don’t want to take the chance you can use plain allulose: www.wholesomeyumfoods.com/shop/sweeteners/allulose/allulose-sweetener/ you’d need about 30% more of that to achieve the same sweetness.
@@WholesomeYum You're welcome and thank you, too. :) I haven't yet had an adverse reaction to watermelons or cantaloupe, but my allergies have been stepping up over the last few years. I used to be able to eat strawberries without a problem, but not any more. Oranges and grapefruits have caused adverse reactions since childhood, so I avoid them. Thank you for letting me know what kind of fruit Monk fruit is. I've never had it before. I will look into the plain allulose. Thanks for the link. Have a blessed day. :)
I do have a recipe here: www.wholesomeyum.com/recipes/easy-keto-low-carb-pumpkin-pie-recipe/ there’s a video on the recipe card but it’s a quick one, not like the pecan pie. I’ll try to make one, will see if I get to it before the holiday! I do have sugar free cranberry sauce coming up on RU-vid also :)
Hi, Maya. How do you feel about using one of the store bought Blue Diamond nut crusts with this recipe-they’re made from pecans and walnuts and are about 11 gs of carbs per slice.
Hi Andrea, I'm not super familiar with those or their ingredients. 11g net carbs per slice might add up to higher than you'd want on a keto diet by the time you add the filling (and a meal before the dessert), but if it works for your macros or you're just cutting sugar but not keto, it could work! From a recipe standpoint it should be fine.
Thank you for this great-looking recipe. Are the instructions printed anywhere? I watched the very helpful video but I won't have it when I'm making this.
Amazing! I’m wondering if it works to not use the powdered sweetener and use stevia drops instead for the filling, I’m guessing it might not work as it wouldn’t caramelise maybe? … HMM should I try? 🧐
Hi Alessia, I haven't tried it with stevia drops specifically, but don't think that would work well. The sweetener adds bulk so that's one issue. Another is stevia drops definitely won't caramelize the way Besti does.
You could do that but they are more evenly distributed if you put them in the crust first and then pour the caramel on top. Either way would probably work though.
I’ve never tried that! I’m not sure if it would go bad, normally the caramel needs to be refrigerated but that’s without canning. Let me know how it goes if you try.
The store is out of Swerve granulated sweetener, and I have already tried the recipe with Splenda Allulose which gave off a bitter aftertaste, can I use the Swerve Confectionary Sweetener and if so do I need to double the amount called for?
All forms of Swerve tend to crystallize so I don’t recommend them for pecan pie. You can still try it but the texture is not the best. Don’t double the amount. The sweetener I recommend for this recipe (and really all my baking recipes) is available here: www.wholesomeyumfoods.com/shop/sweeteners/monk-fruit/monk-fruit-allulose-blend/ this is the granulated (normally I do powdered for the filling) but this one dissolves very well so will work fine for both crust and filling (other brands will be gritty in the filling). The powdered is out of stock right now but will be back soon.
Hi Maria, I haven't tried that so am not sure, sorry! In theory it should work, but the flavor and texture might be different. Let me know how it turns out if you try that swap.
I believe allulose is the sweetener that carmelizes like that. The erythrithol in the lekanto cristalizes when it cools down and doesn't brown as well.
@@joshuapineiro2323 you’re exactly right :) I use Besti which is a blend of monk fruit and allulose so it’s sweeter than plain allulose but works the same way.
I don’t, but you could roast the ones for the filling lightly if you like. I wouldn’t roast the ones that go on top, because they already brown while baking.
Hi Marion, I cover the recipe in the video, but here is a written version if you prefer that: www.wholesomeyum.com/the-best-keto-sugar-free-pecan-pie-recipe/
@Wholesome Yum I wish! Not yet. I have to get the ingredients, find the time, and work up the nerve to go for it!! We also have a six-year-old daughter here who may or may not try to "help," but cause a big mess instead 🤣🧜♀️.
