Sugar Free Keto Chocolate Pie Recipe (2024)

This decadent sugar free keto chocolate pie is the perfect way to indulge without the guilt! One bite of the flaky almond flour crust, smooth chocolate, and sweet whipped cream topping is sure to satisfy even the most demanding sweet tooth.

Looking for a treat to share with friends and family this holiday season? Or simply craving a dreamy chocolate dessert? Then you absolutely have to try this keto chocolate pie.

Treat yourself to smooth, creamy chocolate topped with sweetened whipped cream on an almond flour crust. I promise, you’ll be glad you did. And if you plan to share, your friends and family will be too!

The chocolate layer is adapted from my Creamy Keto Chocolate Pudding Recipe. The modified pudding makes the pie wonderfully rich. To keep it from feeling too heavy, the chocolate layer is then topped with a fluffy whipped cream.

Gelatin is used to help stabilize the cream layer. I found the topping to be similar to meringue rather than a soft whipped cream that I’ve used on other pies. It really balances the chocolate layer.

You can also choose to make this low carb chocolate pie with or without dairy. It’s up to you based on your dietary preferences. Both versions are delicious!

This pie is perfect to share during the holidays. It’s also a simple treat you can enjoy year round.

Take it from me, someone who doesn’t have much of a sweet tooth. I loved this pie so much, I plan to make it regularly!

Make ahead crust

To simplify the preparation, you have the option to make the crust ahead of time.

The crust is the only part of the pie that needs to bake. Everything else will chill in the refrigerator to set.

To make the crust ahead of time, simply allow the pie crust to cool after baking and then freeze. You can keep the crust in the freezer for up to three months until you’re ready to use.

This crust is very versatile, so don’t hesitate to make and freeze a few. It’s never a bad thing to have extras ready! Especially if you know you’ll be making multiple pies throughout the holidays. Save yourself some time and bake the crusts ahead of time.

If you prefer a crust that uses both almond and coconut flour, I recommend the crust from my sugar free coconut cream pie.

How to make a sugar free keto chocolate pie

To make the crust, pour your almond flour, salt, coconut oil, and dissolved gelatin in a food processor. You can choose to add low carb sweetener if desired. Pulse all the ingredients together until dough forms.

Form the dough into a ball, then flatten on a piece of parchment paper. Cover with plastic wrap and roll out to fit a 9-10” pie plate. Press into pie plate, then bake at 350°F for 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned.

Crust can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months until needed.

To make the chocolate layer, heat heavy whipping cream and add in egg yolks to thicken. Stir in low carb sweetener, xanthan gum, and baking chocolate. Once the chocolate is melted, remove the mixture from heat and stir in vanilla extract and salt.

Spoon the chocolate mixture into a medium bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and allow to chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.

Lastly, you’ll create the cream layer. In a chilled mixing bowl, whip heavy whipping cream until fluffy. Slowly add dissolved gelatin water, stevia and vanilla extract to the cream. Continue whipping until soft peaks form.

When you’re ready to assemble your pie, spread the custard layer into the cooled crust and then cover evenly with the whipped cream mixture.

Serve chilled and enjoy!

How many carbs in sugar free chocolate pie

I calculated my nutritional information based on cutting this pie into 10 even slices. Each slice came out to be 11 total carbs with 5 grams of fiber. So a single serving has a total of 6 net carbs.

Please note that carb count will always depend on the exact ingredients you use. If you want the exact nutrition for your pie, you’ll want to enter the ingredients into a macro counter like MyFitnessPal.

If you calculate your own macros, remember to subtract sugar alcohols when adding your low carb sweeteners. Otherwise, your carb count will look much higher than it really is. Because sugar alcohols do not impact blood sugar, we do not need to count them in our total carbs.

Substitutions for a dairy free

Looking for a diary free keto chocolate cream pie?

I personally avoid dairy since it can aggravate autoimmune conditions like my Graves disease. In fact, I originally developed this recipe to be dairy free.

To make the switch, simply use canned coconut cream instead of heavy whipping cream in both layers. The pie still turns out incredibly rich, creamy, and all-around delicious. In fact, I doubt you’ll be able to tell the difference!

For the cream layer, you’ll want to chill one can of coconut cream plus a mixing bowl in the refrigerator overnight. This helps the cream whip easier.

If you can’t find unsweetened canned coconut cream, you can use canned coconut milk instead. Chilling the can will cause the milk to separate into liquid and cream. Discard the liquid and scoop out the cream.

The perfect sugar free chocolate pie

I am so pleased with how this pie turned out. I plan to make this recipe year round, not just for the holiday season.

And it’s perfect for anyone avoiding gluten, dairy, and egg whites, which are some of the top inflammatory foods to avoid!

This low carb chocolate cream pie will stay fresh for about a week in the fridge. The gelatin stabilizes the cream layer, so you don’t have to worry about it going flat. Prep this pie ahead of time for a party, or simply store it in the fridge to enjoy throughout the week.

If you are bringing it to a party, you’re welcome to dress it up! I like to sprinkle on some shaved baking chocolate for a decorative touch. No one ever minds a little extra chocolate.
