Rich chocolate, pecans, and coconut come together in this delectable Keto German Chocolate Pie. All gooey filling, this crustless pie is so easy to make and will delight your tastebuds!
Coconut, chocolate, and pecans, oh my! All baked together in a deliciously gooey keto pie. How does that sound to you? If I Iisten carefully, I am pretty sure I can hear you salivating? Or is that just me?
Not to worry, this Keto German Chocolate Pie is so easy to make that you can that we can all enjoy it whenever we want. And believe me, you will want! It has all the perfect gooey, rich flavor in a sugar-free dessert.
My husband liked it so much that he’s requested it for our Keto Thanksgiving Menu this year. And I am hardly about to say no to that delicious idea!
Why you will love this recipe
Given how popular my Keto German Chocolate Brownies are, I know this recipe will have many fans. It has all that same wonderful flavor, but it’s baked into a gooey crustless pie.
And it takes only about 40 minutes to make! You simply mix everything up in the same pan and pour into a greased pie plate. No fuss, no muss, just absolutely decadent low carb dessert.
It is rather like one big keto brownie baked in a pie plate. But of course it has texture and crunch from the pecans and coconut. And the rich caramel chocolate flavor makes it spectacular!
Best of all, it has only 4g net carbs carbs per serving. I highly recommend topping it with some whipped cream and maybe a drizzle of my keto caramel sauce for an extra special treat!
Ingredient notes
- Butter: This helps create the caramel-like sauce that starts as the base. You could use coconut oil or another butter replacement if you needed to be dairy free.
- Sweetener: I used a combination of brown sugar substitute and allulose for maximum flavor and gooeyness.
- Heavy whipping cream: This helps create a rich, thick batter.
- Cocoa powder: I recommend Dutch process cocoa for a deeper chocolate flavor. It also blends in more easily with the other ingredients.
- Eggs: Use large eggs and make sure they are room temperature.
- Shredded coconut: Use unsweetened shredded coconut or flaked coconut.
- Pecans: Use chopped pecans for better consistency.
- Sugar free chocolate chips: Adding in some chocolate chips also gives more flavor.
- Pantry staples: Vanilla extract and salt.
Step by step directions
1. Dissolve the sweeteners: In a large saucepan over medium low heat, combine the butter and sweeteners, whisking until the sweeteners are dissolved.
2. Add the cream: Stir in the cream, vanilla, and cocoa powder, and whisk until the mixture is well combined and there are no lumps of cocoa powder.
3. Stir in the eggs: Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the eggs until well mixed, then stir in the coconut, pecans, and chocolate chips.
4. Bake the pie: Spread the mixture in a greased 9-inch glass or ceramic pie plate and bake at 325ºF for 25 to 35 minutes, or until the pie is mostly set but still jiggles a little in the center.
5. Let cool a bit: Remove and let cool in the pan. If you serve it warm, it may be hard to cut into slices, but it will still be amazing!
Tips for Success
Make sure you grease the pie plate well. It will help the pie come out in cleaner pieces.
I prefer to use shredded coconut in this recipe, because it allows you to cut cleaner slices. Flaked coconut works too, but it does make it harder to slice. Make sure you use a nice sharp knife!
Don’t over-bake this pie! It should be set around the edges but you still want a little jiggle in the center. It will continue to cook and firm up out of the oven. When it’s warm, it won’t come out in nice slices but it’s pretty tasty just scooped out!
You can also warm slices gently in the oven or microwave if you want it to be gooey and softer again.
