Here it’s, y’all. The pièce de résistance!
Ketofied pecan pie.
Yes, I did that. It got here to me at some point as I used to be strolling by way of my native grocer and stumbled upon this lovely new product: liquid Allulose. As I’m standing there within the baking aisle, taking a look at this little bottle of pleasure, it occurred to me that it was throughout the realm of chance for these things to face in for the corn syrup in pecan pie. Thus was born this recipe.
Once I had the liquid allulose, the filling half was tremendous simple. It was only a matter of changing the opposite sweetener with granulated keto-pleasant brown stuff and tweaking flavors slightly bit. The arduous half was really the crust. Initially, I believed to do pecan pie bars, however the filling was simply so gooey that not one of the cakey or cookie sort backside stuff held up. Then I made a decision on pie correct. It arrange superbly, however my press-in crust dissolved into that gloriously gelatinous pecan filling.
What to do…
I settled on my Salted Caramel Pie Crust, and it labored splendidly. It’s very sturdy and held up properly sufficient that I may really choose up a slice by the crust and eat it with my arms (not that I’m doing that on the common or something). And from right here on out, my ketofied Southern Thanksgivings and Christmases are full.
Notes (there are fairly just a few, so don’t skip this part): Yes, you have to use liquid allulose. No, there isn’t a working substitute. Sorry.
For the brown sweetener, you’ll be able to completely use Swerve or Lakanto. For the document, I’ve made this with Swerve Brown a number of instances in trials and it turned out simply superb. However, the perfect tasting trial run was made with Sukrin Gold granulated brown sweetener. Sukrin Gold accommodates one ingredient (malt extract) of which I’m not a fan and don’t actually suppose belongs on a ketogenic protocol. At the identical time, exterior of my testing section, I’m actually making this a couple of times a 12 months, most, and I feel that’s unlikely to interrupt my keto financial institution, in order that’s the brown sweetener I like to recommend on this dish. If you’d slightly go together with one thing else, go proper forward. It’s nonetheless great.
I added a contact of maple extract simply to extend the depth of taste. Most pecan pies are made with corn syrup (many use the darkish sort) or molasses, and since you’re not getting that very same, wealthy favor out of liquid allulose the maple extract helps make up the distinction. If you’d like to go away it out, whatevs, simply know to anticipate a a lot lighter style.
The macros I calculated embrace the whole pie crust recipe. There was really an excellent bit I reduce off, and so in the event you wished to scale back waste you’ll be able to reduce the crust recipe by half. It will probably be a bit thinner than in the event you made the complete recipe, however that’s OK. I really bought slightly dorky with my crust scraps and made slightly Santa hat reduce out with which to brighten my most up-to-date pie (as proven beneath). If you’d like to make use of the scraps to do one thing comparable, be at liberty. I like to recommend including the to the highest of your pie within the final ten minutes or so of bake time. The pie middle will not be totally set at that time, so be very cautious when putting them.
Last, however definitely not least, is a little bit of a cautionary notice. Due to the character of this pie, it’s going to be very heavy in sweetener. While the NET carbs are fairly low, the entire carb rely may be very excessive per slice, so in the event you occur to rely complete this can be a recipe you need to skip. Even for individuals who rely NET, I like to recommend holding this strictly to the vacations. It’s one factor to have a whole lot of low-carb pleasant sweetener in your Christmas and Thanksgiving desk. It’s one thing else completely to eat like this on a regular basis. Outside of this particular time of 12 months, this isn’t a recipe I’d usually put up as a result of it’s simply so dang heavy in sweetener and I don’t like going complete hog in on sweeteners. And due to the abundance of allulose and erythritol (or monk fruit), be very conscious that in the event you dive in and inhale most of this pie by your self, there’ll in all probability be some extent of digestive upset. I counsel stopping at one piece at a time.
So, now that you just’ve been duly cautioned, on to the recipe.
