Many people with diabetes seek desserts that satisfy their sweet tooth without affecting blood sugar levels. Sugar-free pecan pie offers a delicious alternative to traditional recipes, allowing everyone to enjoy a classic dessert guilt-free.
Ingredients for Sugar-Free Pecan Pie
- 1 pre-made or homemade low-carb pie crust
- 1 cup sugar substitute (such as erythritol or stevia)
- 1 cup light corn syrup substitute or sugar-free syrup
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups pecan halves
Preparation Steps
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the pie crust in a pie dish and set aside. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar substitute, eggs, melted butter, vanilla, and syrup substitute until well combined. Stir in the pecans.
Pour the filling into the prepared crust. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and golden brown. Allow the pie to cool before serving to ensure it firms up properly.
Tips for Success
- Use a high-quality sugar substitute for the best flavor.
- Ensure the pie cools completely before slicing.
- Serve with whipped cream or a sugar-free vanilla ice cream.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
