Keto pecan pie cheesecake with crunchy pecan crust and pecan keto caramel topping is one of the best keto desserts.

My keto family and other non keto family members and friends love this cake! Crust is with roasted pecans and so flavorful. Cream cheese layer is everything what a cheesecake should be. Topping with roasted pecans is just divine.

Don’t skip any of these delicious layers! You will get a really special keto treat you can make for every family gathering or celebration.

TIPS FOR MAKING KETO PECAN PIE CHEESECAKE

Roasted nuts

Roast your nuts before grinding! This will elevate the flavor of nuts, it will be so much tastier. Don’t skip this part because it makes huge difference. Also, don’t roast for too long. 2 minutes on a hot pan or 5 minutes in a preheated oven will be just fine. Pecans are burning fast so you need to be especially careful with them.

Keto pecan pie cheesecake topping

To get that pecan pie flavor combined with cheesecake you need delicious topping! Don’t be afraid of that butter you use on top and use some good quality butter with good grass fed buttery flavor.

Good quality low carb sweetener will also give “original taste” to this low carb pecan pie cheesecake. It would be great if you could use brown low carb sweetener. However, you may use a combination of erythritol with a few drops of stevia and a result will be very satisfying. I was using erythritol and it worked perfectly. It didn’t get that deep brown color but the taste is really amazing.

Serving keto pecan cheesecake

Serve this pecan cheesecake as a keto dessert for any celebration! It’s fantastic as a keto breakfast with a cup of coffee or tea. I like to have keto sweets in the evening with a cup of tea. That’s my favorite part of the day!
