Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 recipe Almond flour pie crust
3/4 cup Unsalted butter
3/4 cup Besti Powdered Monk Fruit Allulose Blend
1 1/2 cups Heavy cream
1 tsp Sea salt
1/2 tbsp Vanilla extract
3/4 tsp Maple extract
1 large Egg ((at room temperature))
2 1/2 cups Pecans ((2 cups chopped coarsely + 1/2 cup halves for topping))

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C).
  • Make the almond flour pie crust according to the instructions here.
  • Meanwhile, make the filling. In a large saute pan (not a saucepan!) over medium-low heat, heat the butter and Besti for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until dark golden brown.
  • When golden, add the cream and sea salt. Bring to a gentle simmer. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, until bubbly, dark golden and thick. The caramel sauce should coat the back of a spoon.
  • Remove the sauce from heat. Stir in the vanilla and maple extracts.
  • Let pie crust and caramel sauce cool separately for 15 to 20 minutes, until warm but not hot. While they are cooling, you can either leave the oven on (you will need it again) or preheat it to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C) again when the cooling time is almost up.
  • Once caramel sauce has cooled enough not to cook an egg being added to it (warm is fine), whisk in the egg.
  • Place chopped pecans evenly into the crust. Pour the caramel/egg mixture over the pecans. Top with pecan halves.
  • Cover the edges of the pie crust with foil, leaving the center open.
  • Bake for about 30 to 35 minutes, until the top is dark brown and the filling is bubbly, thick, and almost set (it should no longer jiggle but will still look a little wet).
  • Cool completely to set. For best results, chill for at least 1 hour before slicing.

This is my go-to crust for either pies or cheesecake. It's low carb, sugar free & holds together well when you cut the pie. Personally, I think this is a much yummier alternative to graham cracker crusts & much healthier!

Time 20m

Yield 1 Crust, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 cups whole pecans
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup Truvia, baking blend (stevia & erythritol, not the stuff with sugar)
1 pinch kosher salt
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 egg white

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a food processor, process pecans on high until they are a fine meal. Add the Truvia, cinnamon & salt. Pulse a few times.
  • While food processor is running on low, add the melted butter & egg white until dough is completely blended & clumped together.
  • Lightly spray pie pan with Pam. Add the dough & cover with a piece of plastic wrap. Using your fingers or the bottom of a glass, gently press to cover the bottom & sides of the pie pan. Remove the plastic wrap.
  • Bake the crust for 10 minutes. It will puff a bit in the middle but will flatten again as it cools. If you use this crust for a baked pie, when you bake it again cover the edges with foil so that it doesn't over-brown.

Tips:

  • To achieve the best texture for your crust, use finely ground pecans. You can make your own by grinding them in a food processor or blender, or you can purchase them pre-ground.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can use a rolling pin to crush the pecans until they are finely ground.
  • Be sure to measure the pecans correctly. Too much or too little can affect the texture of the crust.
  • If you find that the crust is too dry, you can add a little bit of water or egg white to help it bind together.
  • Don't over-mix the dough. Over-mixing can make the crust tough.
  • Be sure to preheat your oven before baking the crust. This will help ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • If you are using the crust for a pie, be sure to blind-bake it before filling it. This will help prevent the crust from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

The ground pecan crust is a delicious and versatile option for low-carb baking. It is easy to make and can be used for a variety of desserts, including pies, tarts, and cookies. With its nutty flavor and crumbly texture, the ground pecan crust is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
