Creating a truly indulgent yet healthy dessert can be a delightful challenge, and this keto strawberry pie rises to the occasion. The first time I experimented with a no-bake keto pie, I was skeptical about achieving that perfect creamy texture without traditional sugar and crust, but the combination of gelatin and whipped cream in this recipe proved to be a game-changer. This keto strawberry pie is designed for those who crave a vibrant, sweet treat without the guilt. It’s an ideal choice for ketogenic dieters or anyone looking to reduce their sugar intake, offering a refreshing burst of strawberry flavor in every bite.
Keto Strawberry Cream Pie: No-Bake Bliss!
Ingredients
Method
- For the crust, combine almond flour, 1/4 cup powdered Swerve, and salt in a medium bowl. Pour in the melted butter and mix well until crumbly.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes while you prepare the filling.
- For the filling, combine chopped strawberries and water in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook until strawberries are soft, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and mash the strawberries lightly.
- In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over 2 tablespoons of cold water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom, then stir it into the warm strawberry mixture until fully dissolved.
- In a large bowl, beat heavy whipping cream, 1/2 cup powdered Swerve, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the cooled strawberry-gelatin mixture into the whipped cream until just combined, ensuring no streaks remain.
- Pour the filling into the prepared crust and spread evenly. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until set. Serve chilled and enjoy!
- Slice and serve your dreamy Keto Strawberry Cream Pie!
Notes
– When dissolving the gelatin, make sure the strawberry mixture is still warm but not boiling hot. Excessive heat can reduce gelatin’s setting power.
– To achieve perfectly stiff peaks for your heavy whipping cream, make sure both the cream and your mixing bowl are very cold before you start beating. Nutrition information is an estimate, calculated automatically. Values vary with brands, substitutions and portion sizes.
Pro tips
