Pecan pie is one of my favorite holiday desserts. You’ll never believe this recipe is for a sugar free pecan pie because it’s just as sweet as a pie that calls for sugar! This delicious pie only requires only 15 minutes of prep time, and its an easy addition to your holiday menu. From our family to your, Happy Holidays!
Making Sugar Free Pecan Pie For Your Holiday Table
Start by preparing and par baking the crust. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Grease a 9 inch pie pan and set it aside.
Combine the almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, and swerve in a large mixing bowl. Add in the butter. Mix it in using a fork until it forms a crumbly dough.
Next add in the water until the mixture comes together. You’ll want to add in about a teaspoon at a time. You don’t want it to become too wet or sticky.
Now press the dough evenly into the prepared pie pan, going up the sides. Par bake the crust for 8 minutes until just beginning to brown.
While the crust is baking, prepare the pecan filling. In a large saucepan over low heat melt the butter, brown Swerve, and maple syrup. Mix the ingredients together for about 2 minutes, until bubbling. Remove from heat and whisk in the xanthan gum, vanilla extract and salt and set aside.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs until well beaten. Slowly ladle in about 1/4 cup of the sugar mixture into the eggs. Make sure you are continuously whisking the entire time. Do this two more times. Slowly pour the egg mixture back into the pot. Continue to whisk to combine everything together until smooth.
Place the pecans in the par baked crust and pour the filling over the top. Return to the oven and bake for 30 minutes uncovered. Now cover it with aluminum foil and baking for an additional 15- 20 minutes, or until the filling is mostly set. The middle should still jiggles slightly when shaken. Don’t worry – it will set more as it cools. Let set for at least 10 minutes before serving.
