Make Ahead Options
Yes, you can make this in advance! In fact, I almost always make my keto pecan pie ahead. There are several ways you can do it:
Keto Pie Crust:
Choose from one of these options:
Almond Flour Crust – This is my favorite keto pecan pie crust, so it’s what I’ve got on the recipe card below. It’s easy to make and has only 5 ingredients! I highly recommend making this with Wholesome Yum Blanched Almond Flour, because it has a finer texture than other brands. Coconut Flour Crust – You can consider this if you have an almond allergy, but tolerate pecans just fine. Of course you’d need the pecans for the filling. Pecan Crust – If you really love pecans, you can use them for the crust itself in addition to the filling! Just grind the nuts to a fine meal in a food processor, then replace half of the almonds in my almond crust (above) with the pecan meal. You could try replacing all of the almond flour with pecan meal, but I’d recommend a blend because it will stay together better, since almond flour has a finer consistency.
Make the pie crust ahead. You can keep it on the counter for a day, or store it in the fridge for a few days before filling and baking. After baking is fine, too. Make the caramel sauce ahead. You can store it in the fridge in a glass container. It will solidify, so just reheat it on the stove over very low heat to make it pourable again. Be very careful not to overheat, because the filling can separate and clump if it gets to hot. If this happens, sometimes you can bring it back together in a blender. Make my entire keto pecan pie recipe ahead. This is my favorite option! Plus, doing the whole thing at once avoids any risk with the filling separating during reheating. You can store the prepared pie in the fridge for up to a week. Freeze. Wrap the pie in plastic wrap or foil, and keep in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge at least overnight.
Turkey – Make my foolproof Thanksgiving turkey and all your guests will be amazed at how juicy it turns out! For a smaller gathering, try my Crock Pot turkey breast or roasted turkey wings. Don’t forget the sugar free cranberry sauce and keto gravy! Sides – I’ve got you covered with low carb versions of the classics: keto green bean casserole, cauliflower stuffing, and keto sweet potato casserole. Biscuits – My simple 5-ingredient keto biscuits are the most popular around here, but you can also try my keto Cheddar Bay biscuits for more flavor.

Tips: See my recipe tips above to help you get the right gooey, caramelized texture in your keto pecan pie filling! If done incorrectly, it can separate or burn. I’ve also got tips for slicing the pie cleanly. Make ahead: There are several ways to prep this recipe in advance, including just certain components or baking the whole pie. You can store it in the fridge or freeze it. See my meal prep details above! Note on serving size: 1/12 of the pie might not seem very big for a serving, but this sugar free pecan pie is very filling! After a whole meal, it’s plenty.
