There're so many wonderful pies and tarts that you get to enjoy on Keto! But, the real key to any delicious pie starts with a good crust. Almond flour pie crusts allow you to enjoy your favorite desserts without all the carbs.

I make Lemon Mascarpone Tart, Strawberry Cream Tart and my favorite Mini Lemon Curd Tarts using this basic Keto pie crust recipe. But, don't stop there! With this versatile pie crust recipe, use it with any of your favorite pie fillings.

Get creative and fill with anything you like, pumpkin, berries, chocolate, coconut... you name it! You can even add your favorite mousse to it for a great no bake pie!

This Almond Joy Chocolate Mousse used as a filling will really make an impression on your guests at your next get-together! Or if you want something a little lighter, this no bake Strawberry Coconut Cream Mousse filling is an awesome alternative.

What Ingredients are in Keto Almond Flour Pie Crust?

  • Super fine almond flour
  • Grass-fed unsalted butter
  • Egg
  • Swerve confectioners
  • Vanilla extract

*Exact measurements are listed in the recipe card below.

How to Make Keto Pie Crust

Preheat oven to 350F.

Add all the ingredients to the bowl of a food processor and mix until a dough is formed.

Place the dough in a pie dish and press out, going up the sides.  

I greased mine with some butter, but this step is optional, depending on your dish. As you work the dough into the dish, make sure it is evenly distributed.

If needed take a little dough from one area and add it to areas that are too shallow. This gluten free pastry is so forgiving it will allow you to manipulate it where needed.

Prick the dough with a fork and bake for 12-15 minutes or until slightly golden.

Add your favorite pie filling and continue baking or allow to chill in the fridge if you're making a no bake pie.

Is Almond Flour Pie Crust Keto?

It's perfect for Keto baking. Super fine almond flour is basically almonds, without the skin, ground to a really fine texture.

This gluten free pie crust is a good source of protein, fiber and healthy fats, and only 4 net carbs. Almonds host so many health benefits. If you'd like to read more about the nutrients in almonds, check out this article.

Tips for the Best Keto Pie Crust

  • If the dough is a little to tacky to work with, add another teaspoon of almond flour until it comes together in the food processor.
  • Like wise, if the dough it sticking to your fingers are you're pressing it into the pie plate, dampen your fingers slightly to help release the dough.
  • Be sure and cook low carb pie crusts long enough. This ensures it will stay together once cooked and cooled.
  • If the edges of the crust begin to brown before the rest of the crust is done, tent the edges with a little aluminum foil.
  • To ensure the dough combines well, but sure to start with room temp eggs.
  • If you're not going to use the dough immediately, wrap it with plastic wrap and place it in the fridge. When you're ready to use it, allow it to sit out for a few minutes. You can roll it out with a rolling pin between two pieces of parchment paper if you're having issues getting it spread evenly.
  • You can divide this crust up into individual, mini tart sizes and just adjust the cooking accordingly.
  • Allow the crust to cool completely before trying to remove it from the dish. Almond flour will be delicate until cooled.

Keto and Low Carb Recipes That Use This Pie/Tart Crust

  • Lemon Mascarpone Tart
  • Strawberry Cream Tart  
  • Mini Lemon Curd Tarts

Can I Use Coconut Flour Instead of Almond Flour?

This is partially a personal preference. You can use a combination of almond flour with coconut flour, but you will have to add additional egg to the dough because coconut flour is much more absorbent. You should let dough that you make with coconut flour rest in the fridge before baking it to allow the moisture to soak up.

5 stars
This pie crust is so quick and easy to make, there are no excuses! I actually didn't make a pie with this but made a 'sugar'-cinnamon mixture to dust on top of it before baking. I then broke up the crust into small pieces after it was cooled and am going to put the pieces of crust into a 'banana' cream pie ice cream - but I have to confess I've been breaking off pieces of the crust to eat and it is really good just by itself! WINNER!!!

Question on your nutrition facts - is this for the whole crust? So, if it has 6g carbs, and 2 fiber, that would be 4 net carbs for the entire crust? Also, have you tried this to make meat pies? That's what I'm interested in doing with it. (Already used it for the custard tarts - yum!
