My easy Chocolate Pecan Pie is as good as it gets when it comes to healthy holiday desserts.
I worked on this low-carb pie recipe for years, perfecting it back in 2013 which is when I first shared it with you here.

Low-Carb Pecan Pie
This Chocolate Pecan Pie is not quite as low-carb as some of my other recipes.
However, it certainly gets low-carb billing when compared to traditional chocolate pecan pie.
That dessert is made with cups of corn syrup, plus sugar, and milk chocolate served in a high carbohydrate white flour crust.
Elana, Where Do You Get Recipe Inspiration?
I based this Chocolate Pecan Pie recipe on one from my dear friend Karin, founder of Sweet Mary Jane.
I studied her recipe, making several alterations so that it would be gluten-free, dairy-free, refined sugar-free, and lower in carbohydrates –this is the stunning result.
Kid Friendly Chocolate Pecan Pie Recipe
Back when I first shared this kid friendly Chocolate Pecan Pie recipe recipe in 2013, the boys were in 8th and 9th grade.
Kid Friendly Gluten Free Pie
They sampled and critiqued this healthy dessert recipe. The boys and their friends were more than happy to be my testers for batch after batch.
In fact, I remember they had a sleepover back then with a bunch of friends and “snuck” some of this pie as a midnight snack.
They all looked adorably sheepish and guilty the next day.
Kid Friendly Low Carb Dessert
Little did they know they were eating a healthy, low-carb dessert filled with good fat from the nut-flour crust and pecans, and a hefty dose of antioxidants from the organic dark chocolate.
Recipe with Under 10 Ingredients
The filling for this Chocolate Pecan Pie recipe has only 5 ingredients, and you can whip it up in a jiffy. We’ve been in a pie phase of late.
My older son loves making rustic pumpkin pie from scratch each year when he comes home to visit. He told me he might post the recipe here on my website –fingers crossed.
Gluten Free Pie with Dairy Free Whipped Cream
If you’re on a Dairy-Free Diet, you’ll surely want to serve this with my Coconut Whipped Cream.
How to Whip Heavy Cream
If you’re able to eat dairy, this pie is phenomenal with my Homemade Whipped Cream in a Mason Jar.
Since they were very little, the boys have lent a hand and whipped up heavy cream for me each and every Thanksgiving.
It’s a decadent and elegant topping for my healthy low carb dessert recipes.
