Keto Maple Pecan Cream Pie Ingredients:

- heavy whipping cream
- Pyure granular or your choice of granular sweetener
- for the crust, almond flour, butter and sweetener
- pecans
- maple & almond extract
Try these pies with the same filling base:
In this recipe I do use 2 different kinds of sweeteners. These are 2 that I have become familiar with and so you are more than welcome to use whatever sweetener that you would like. The heavy whipping cream is mixed with a granular sweetener called Pyure
The cream cheese mixture is combined with a Swerve Confectioners, both of these I purchase as my local Wal-Mart.
The two sweeteners are the mostly costly ingredient in this recipe. But, they both make this Pie very delicious and keep the recipe sugar free and low carb. The heavy whipping cream and the cream cheese I purchase at Aldi, they have the cheapest price on these 2 items.
Usually, the cream cheese is only $0.79 each and the heavy whipping cream is $1.55, both cheaper than the other local supermarkets in my town.
What is the Keto Diet?
The ketogenic diet focuses on high fat, low carb foods like eggs, meats, dairy, and low carb vegetables. Also, it consists of food that are sugar free and gluten free. A lot of individuals believe it is just a lot of protein, like a lot of bacon, but it is more than just eating a lot of bacon. It is limiting carb consumption to around 20 to 50 grams per day and filling up on fats, such as meat, fish, eggs, nuts, and healthy oils.

Tips!
- Cut this pie up into slices and freeze. I have froze these pies many times and they will thaw perfectly.
- Choose a different topping. If you are not crazy about pecans then choose a different nut or add strawberries, blueberries, blackberries or a can of sugar free cherry pie filling. I like to cut up strawberries, place the strawberries in a bowl with some sweetener, like Pyure granular and set in the refrigerator for a couple of hours. Then, pour the strawberries and juice over this pie. This is so good!
- Take this recipe and instead of making a pie – spoon this filling into cupcake tins. I have done this and I leave out the crust. I like to make mini cupcakes using those mini cupcake tins and then I’ll freeze them and I have a lot of mini desserts to always have on hand when I want something sweet.
