Ingredients
Pecan Pie Filling
- 8 tablespoon salted butter
- 1/2 cup Besti Brown Sugar Sweetener
- 1/2 cup keto sweetener I used allulose
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 3 large egg
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Start by making the pie crust under the instructions of whichever you choose.
- Preheat oven to 325°F
- In a medium pot melt butter on medium heat. If you want brown butter do that now. If not add in heavy cream, both sweeteners and vanilla extract.
- Melt everything together until smooth, remove from heat. Allow to cool to the point you can touch it without burning yourself but don't let it get cold.
- Beat then pour in 3 eggs. Mix well.
- Pour filling into pie crust. You can pour on top of pecans or you can sprinkle them over after you pour the pie filling.
- Bake for 45-60 minutes depending on oven. Center can be slightly jiggly when you remove it. Allow to cool fully then cover and place in refrigerator to set. You can skip this step if you like you pecan pie even more gooey.

Notes
Helpful Recipe Tips
- All sweeteners are not created equal. In this recipe I used Besti brown sugar and allulose. Anything with erythritol will crystalize once it is cool. What this means is your pie "may" become a hard, crispy texture over being soft and gooey. I use Besti because it uses allulose. Swerve brown uses erythritol. Now, it can work but just make note of the changes that can occur.
- Making brown butter, you don't have to make it but it will help provide a nuttier flavor than just the brown sugar sweetener alone.
- Add extra sweetness, I think for someone new or someone who like things on the sweeter side should add 1 teaspoon of liquid monk fruit or stevia to this. The sweetness is very light in this recipe for someone who doesn't like super sweet things. This will be a personal choice of course.
