Keto Easy Strawberry Pie
Dessert is one thing I hate giving up. That is why this Easy Keto Strawberry Pie recipe is an excellent choice for a keto or low-carb lifestyle. It gives me the flavor and sweetness I love without adding sugar to my diet.
EASY KETO STRAWBERRY PIE
I love anything strawberry flavored. Fresh strawberries are my most favorite fruit, and thank goodness they are keto-friendly in moderation. After I made my Very Best Keto/Low Carb Lemon Pie, I thought that I could create a keto-friendly strawberry pie as a spinoff of that recipe.
This Low Carb Strawberry Pie is so easy to make and delicious. From start to finish, it only takes a few minutes; in fact, you’ll spend more time waiting for it to set up in the freezer than making it. Also, if you don’t love keto-approved flours, this recipe doesn’t contain any flour at all.
Ingredients:
- Pecans – chopped finely for the crust
- Butter – used as a binder to combine the ingredients for the crust
- Lakanto Monkfruit Powdered & Classic – keto-friendly sweetener you can also sub Swerve sweetener of the appropriate variety (Confectioners for Powdered or classic for granulated)
- Strawberries – washed, stemmed, and diced
- Cream Cheese – softened so that it creates a smooth pie filling
- Heavy Whipping Cream – part of the base of the pie
- Vanilla Extract– adds flavor
How to Make this sugar free fresh strawberry pie
For the Crust:
Step 1: Preheat the oven degrees. Crush pecans finely. I used a chopper/mini processor. You could also use a blender or food processor.
Step 2: Add butter and Monkfruit Classic to crushed pecans and mix thoroughly. I added the ingredients to my mini processor and pulse until all of the ingredients were combined.
Step 3: Add the crust mixture to a greased pie pan. Grease the back of a spoon and use it to carefully smooth the pecan mixture in the bottom of the pie pan and up the sides. Bake and allow to cool.
For the Low Carb Strawberry Pie Filling:
Step 1: In a large bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until it forms stiff peaks.
Step 2: In a separate bowl, using a hand mixer, beat on medium speed the cream cheese, Lakanto Monkfruit Powdered, diced strawberries, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth. The strawberries will break apart as you mix them together, which will turn the filling pink.
Tip: If you find that your cream cheese is still a little clumpy, let the pie filling sit out for 5-10 min and then mix it again.
Step 3: Put together the two bowls and beat with a mixer until everything is mixed.
Step 4: Pour the filling mixture into pecan crust.
Tip: Many people that have made this pie double the recipe for the crust to make it thicker. I kept it thinner to keep macros in mind as it would make the calories, carbs, and fat much higher.
Step 5: Freeze the Keto Strawberry Pie for 1 to 2 hours before serving or until it sets up. (You may store pie in the fridge and pop it in the freezer for about an hour or two before serving or keep it in the fridge and set it out on the counter 30 before servings.)
Serving Keto-Friendly Strawberry Pie
It is so important to be patient while it sets up in the freezer. Since you aren’t using gelatin in this strawberry pie recipe to help set it, you have to depend on the freezer.
When you pull this out of the freezer to serve, run a knife under hot water before slicing. This little tip makes sure you have nice clean cuts and that the Keto strawberry pie recipe will be easy to serve. Top each slice with a sliced strawberry and a sprig of mint for a beautiful serving option!
Can you use frozen strawberries in this strawberry pie?
You can, but you need to be very careful with frozen fruit. It tends to hold more liquid than fresh fruit, and that liquid will release once it starts to thaw. In addition, frozen fruit often times contains more net carbs than fresh fruit. This can cause your pie to become a sugary, soggy mess if you’re not careful. Personally, I prefer to use fresh.
What other fruit can be used to make this homemade keto pie?
If you want to switch out the fruit and have different flavors, you can! Blueberries, blackberries, or raspberries would work. Have fun changing up the fruits to change up the flavor fast! Make sure to check out my easy and delicious recipes for Keto Lemon Pie, Keto Key Lime Pie, or Keto Pumpkin Pie that use the same pecan pie crust as the base.
How to Store this low carb strawberry pie
If you have any low-carb pie leftover, store it in a container with a lid and place it in the fridge. I prefer to store it in the freezer then set it out for about 30 min before enjoying it.

Holy smokes! Been eating keto for 3 years now and this is hands down the best dessert I have had. Used strawberries out of my garden and is awesome! Thanks!
Hey, Bree, glad you liked it!
So easy to make… taste wonderful….
Awesome! So glad you enjoyed it!
Only problem— my husband want me to make 2 for his company’s next potluck. LOL
I made this strawberry pie for my husband’s birthday. We are diligent on the keto gig (at least currently). This pie was WONDERFUL! Followed the recipe exactly and was very pleased with the results. Will definitely make again. Yummo all the way!
Awesome!! Glad you both enjoyed it!!
I made this pie for our July 4th celebration, and it was a COMPLETE hit!!! I was asked to share the recipe with all the families that were attending (even non keto families).
This was so very easy to make, which I loved. I do have to admit after it sat in the freezer overnight there was no cutting it with a hot knife. We just let it set out and thaw a bit so that took a bit longer than expected.
Thanks you for this. I may try a few other flavors this way now.
Glad the pie was a hit!!
I have made this 3 times now and and passed out the recipe multiple times. One of my favorite Keto dessert recipes! I can’t wait to try your other recipes!
That is awesome! Thanks for passing on my recipes.
Can you fix the recipe. It says strawberry but the recipe is for key lime pie. My family loves the strawberry pie! We make it for every family get together!
Irene,
Thank you so very much! I am not sure how that got changed. I have a new keto lime pie coming out this week. Somehow when that recipe was added it changed the strawberry one. It has been corrected. Blessings!
Thank you
Easy to make and tastes delicious!
Glad you enjoyed it. It great to serve to company.
My hubby LOVED this one!
I’m glad your hubby loved it!
My daughter in law made this for me while I read the directions, OMG it is the BEST! Wish I could post a pic.
That’s awesome! It’s a great dessert for company.
Your recipes sounds fantastic and this Strawberry Pie recipe is no exception. I will definitely be making it. I did notice however that parts of a Lime Pie recipe is mixed in with it. I thought you might want to know.
Thank you so much. That info has been corrected.
You still have one sentence at the end in your notes about lime juice. Just FYI. 😊
Thank you!
Creamy and delicious
Absolutely wonderful! Even non-ketoers rave about it!
What is the monkfruit? Is that a sweetener? If I can’t find it, can something else be substituted?
Monkfruit is a calorie-free sweetener. If you click on Monkfruit in the recipe card, it will take you to Amazon where they have it available for purchase.
Made this today. Had to substitute the monkfruit for other sweeteners because I couldn’t find it in stores here, and I’m not patient enough to wait for an Amazon shipment! So I used alternative zero calorie sweeteners, both granular and confectioners. I also forgot to add the vanilla! But despite that, omg it was amaaaaaazing! My husband is going back for seconds. I’m totally making this for the holidays!
