Why Sugar Free Pie is Best
Everyone deserves to indulge in the sweet, chocolatey desserts they love.
After whipping up our favorite chocolate pudding, we went to the itchen and decided it was time to make a pudding pie!
Whether you’re avoiding sugar altogether or just looking to cut back where you can, you’ll love this easy Sugar Free Chocolate Pudding Pie!
- All the satisfaction, none of the sugar crash!
- Made with natural ingredients.
- Creamy chocolate pudding filling.
- Keto approved and gluten free so everyone can enjoy it!
Ingredient Notes
- Super fine almond flour – Not to be confused with almond meal (which is much coarser) this fine gluten free flour creates a crust with the perfect light crumb.
- Monk fruit sweetener – A naturally occurring sugar alternative, this sweetener is calorie free and leaves none of the chemical aftertaste of common artificial sugar substitutes.
- Heavy cream – Beating cream into stiff peaks makes fluffy homemade whipped cream that, when blended with chocolate, butter and eggs, makes the pudding thick enough to stand up on your spoon while staying light and airy.
- Unsweetened Chocolate – We use baking squares for the chocolate flavor in this pudding. Make sure to check the ingredient label to ensure the brand you use contains no added flours or sugars.
Easy Instructions
Make the pie crust:
- Combine all the ingredients for the pie crust in a bowl. Once the pie crust reaches a crumbly texture, press it into the bottom and sides of a pie plate.
- Bake the crust until golden brown and let cool completely.
Chocolate Pudding Filling:
- Start by beating the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Let the whipped cream chill in the refrigerator while you prepare the rest of the pie filling.
- For the chocolate pudding, whisk together the eggs and sweetener in a sauce pan. Bring the egg mixture to heat on the stove, then whisk in chocolate and butter until melted and combined.
- Let the mixture cool slightly before blending in the chilled whipped cream.
Assembly:
- Pour the pudding mixture into the cooled pie crust.
- Let the Chocolate Pudding Pie chill until firm (at least 2 hours or up to overnight).
Tips and Tricks
- Serving suggestions: Top each slice of pie with a dollop of homemade sugar free whipped cream. A few shavings from an unsweetened chocolate bar add a nice flourish too!
- Storing: Keep chocolate pudding pie covered in the refrigerator until you’re ready to enjoy it! It stays good for up to 3 days.
- Mini pies: For individual miniature pies, divide the crust into oven safe ramekins or even a muffin pan before baking.
Recipe FAQs
Generally speaking, the higher quality chocolate you use, the better the finished pudding will taste. I’ve used Ghirardelli brand 100% cocoa squares and the no-sugar Baker’s Chocolate squares with good results.
Not in this recipe. Almond meal has a coarser texture and nuttier flavor than super fine almond flour and would make the crust too crumbly to stay together. Make sure to use almond flour (also labeled “superfine” almond flour) in this crust recipe.
Yes, this is an excellent make ahead keto dessert idea. I like to assemble the pie the night before then let it chill overnight in the refrigerator.
