Keto Chocolate Cream Pie

Low Carb Chocolate Cream Pie Recipe

This sugar free keto chocolate mousse pie boasts a silky-smooth filling and crunchy chocolate graham cracker inspired pie crust. It has a unique texture that allows for a wonderful experience with each bite. This creamy keto chocolate cream pie is formed by layering a chocolate crust, a velvet chocolate filling, and a fluffy whipped topping. To provide a rich chocolate flavor, a special ingredient called Cacao Bliss is added to the crust and filling of this silky pie. I partnered with Cacao Bliss with this recipe as their raw cacao powder has a special superfood blend that adds a unique flavor to our cream pie that regular cocoa powder can’t do alone. There is absolutely no better way to add superfoods to your diet than with this creamy keto pie.

Keto cream pies are perfect for the warmer weather as they are served cold  or chilled. Besides sugar free chocolate cream pie, coconut cream and banana cream pie are some favorites you can make on the keto diet.

Cacao Bliss Superfoods

The pie crust and filling are flavored with a raw cacao powder superfood blend called Cacao Bliss. It is not your ordinary cocoa powder. Cacao Bliss is a raw cacao powder that contains a blend of superfoods like turmeric, Himalayan salt, black pepper, cinnamon, MCT powder and lucuma. All of these ingredients help to control blood sugars.

I love to use Cacao Bliss as a replacement to unsweetened cocoa powder in my keto baking. The cinnamon and turmeric yield a different flavor that enhances your chocolate dish. Cacao Bliss is lightly sweetened with monk fruit too so you can often get away from using extra sweetener in your recipes. Try it in your morning coffee or smoothie for a special treat!

Keto Chocolate Pie Crust

This keto pie crust acts as a low carb and gluten-free alternative to traditional graham cracker crusts. While graham cracker crust is crunchy and tasty, it does contain significant amounts of carbohydrates and sugar.

We combine almond flour, coconut flour and a bit of Cacao Bliss powder into the crust to provide the chocolate flavoring in the crust. Although, feel free to use traditional cocoa powder if that is all you have on hand at home. We recommend making this easy-to-make keto pie crust in advance to save time. It may be stored in the refrigerator or at room temperature for up to three days. That will save you time in the kitchen when making this creamy keto chocolate cream pie with almond flour based pie crust.

Chocolate Cream Filling

Sugar-free chocolate is melted down to create the chocolate mousse filling. For this recipe, I used keto chocolate chips by the brand ChocZero. The brand boasts sugar-free and alcohol-free recipes for each of its keto chocolate flavors.

For a unique and more prominent flavor, add a few tablespoons of Cacao Bliss to the mixture. The keto cocoa powder provides a hint of cinnamon, making for a delicious combination in this silky chocolate filling. Another epic idea is to add a layer of peanut butter or add some nut butter into the filling for a chocolate peanut butter cream pie.

What if My Eggs Curdle?

It is essential to avoid overcooking your custard egg mixture. Overcooking the eggs allows them to curdle. Remove the mixture from the stovetop as soon as it coats the back of a spoon. Additionally, the internal temperature of the custard should read about 150 to 160 degrees on a food thermometer.

While baking, if you come across this issue, strain the mixture through a mesh sleeve to get rid of the curdles. The result will be a smooth custard mixture that is perfect for this keto chocolate mousse pie.

Sugar Free Whipped Cream

A scrumptious sugar free whipped cream is featured as a topping for this beautiful keto chocolate cream pie. It is effortless to make with heavy cream, vanilla extract, and erythritol, a powdered sugar-free sweetener. This fluffy keto whipped cream frosting tastes sweet without any added artificial sugars. This homemade whipped cream also pairs incredibly well with fresh berries as a light keto-friendly snack but it is the finished topping to our keto french silk pie.
