I first discovered I may simplify the filling and make your life simpler whilst I created a caramel glaze for my low carb Pumpkin Caramel Bundt Cake. It had huge consistency and I figured I may just sub it in because the “syrup” facet for sugar-free pecan pie.
I experiment drove this concept whilst I created my low carb Pecan Tassies previous this year. I also discovered that the crust may be simplified as well, and I may skip the xanthan gum altogether. Once you placed all that gooey filling over top, it truly doesn’t need the further structure.

I was delighted whilst I ran the numbers on this new model and saw that it had nearly 3g fewer carbs than my unique recipe. At first I thought that may be a mistake but then it dawned on me why. Lily’s Chocolate! Back within the vintage days (aka 4 years ago), I needed to depend on both 85% cacao chocolate comparable to Lindt, which nonetheless incorporates some introduced sugar, or I needed to make my very own low carb darkish chocolate chunks.
But getting to know Lily’s Chocolate a number of years ago has made my keto baking life ever so lots easier. For this recipe, I used Lily’s Baking Bar and merely chopped up 2 ounces. But you may use the chocolate chips or the normal darkish chocolate bar instead.

I don’t suppose I ought to clarify why I selected to make over this vintage vacation pie recipe. Who doesn’t love gooey pecan pie at Thanksgiving? It’s lengthy been one in every of my favorite desserts, with or with out just a bit chocolate.
As a kid, I would scan the dessert menu of each restaurant and in the event that that they had pecan pie, I would at all times keep room for dessert. It’s that gooey, caramel-like filling with the severe flavour of toasted pecans that has a solid hang over me.
CAN KETO PECAN PIE BARS TRULY BE GOOEY?
While I was creating the chocolate pecan pie bars recipe, getting to know a solution to make a gooey, low carb filling was paramount to me. Let’s face it, our low carb sweeteners just don’t behave the method sugar does. And facet of what makes ordinary pecan pie bars so gooey is the corn syrup. It’s difficult to emulate that.
But by means of means of creating a caramel sauce with Swerve and utilizing that in location of the corn syrup, you get a prosperous deep flavour and a gooier texture it's lots just like the actual thing.

I also recognise that of us will ask for the ones who can turn this pecan pie bars recipe right into a complete chocolate pecan pie. I suppose yes, you'll be capable to. You will perhaps need further pecans for the filling and you'll provide you the option to use the pastry from my low carb Press-In Pie Crust.
Par-bake it for 10 minutes and watch these edges intently because it bakes. If they're browning a lot, disguise them with foil. The baking time will vary.
