No Bake Chocolate Keto Crust
This easy gluten free pie crust was made out of my pure laziness with not wanting to make, then bake crust for a low-carb pie.
You see I have a chocolate pie crust recipe that could have easily been used for the new Samoa pie I recently posted, but I was just not interested in baking that day.
So adapting it I did and it turned out to be such an incredible tasting pie crust I knew it really needed it own post to do it justice!
The crust ingredients are mixed in a food processor and pressed into a pie pan with your hands!
It takes a few minutes to even it all out, but I have to tell you it is so much easier than rolling dough!

Not sure what happened to mine, but it was runny..so I added more coconut flour, and popped it in the fridge...
Ashley
Hello:)
I’m wanting to make a pumpkin pie cheesecake no bake pie, but I don’t want to use the cocoa powder. Anything I can substitute with so I can still have a no bake crust? Thanks!:)
Terrie Erhardt
I don't have a food processor. What can I use instead, to process the raw sunflower seeds? Would a regular blender work?
Brenda
I think a blender would work, they might not get as fine as a food processor though.
Mary
Can you leave out the sunflower seeds and have it still work or are they an absolute ingredient?
Brenda
You'll need to replace them with something.
Rachel
Hi! This is absolutely delicious, but I would like to point out that this is not "nut free," as coconut is a tree nut.
Brenda
Coconut is actually not a tree nut, it's actually a fruit called a drupe. Commonly known as a stone fruit like a nectarine or peach.
Rachel
My doctor told me it's considered a fruit, seed, and a nut. I personally can't eat them anymore because they react the same as tree nuts in my body, but I know not everyone is the same.
Ana
Hi! Looks awesome!
What would you need to adjust to make a non-chocolate version of this?
thanks!

This may be a stupid question, but could you bake it. If you wanted to make a baked pie filling, could you bake the crust or would that ruin it?
Brenda
I'm not sure as I haven't tried it. Why not just try one of my baked pie crust recipes instead: https://www.sugarfreemom.com/recipes/low-carb-nut-free-grain-free-chocolate-pie-crust/
sam

Teddi Jo
Could you use coconut oil in place of butter.
Brenda
I'm sure that would be fine.
Diane
Do you have a weight for the butter please? My butter always comes out of the fridge and trying to figure out 8 tablespoons of hard butter isn't easy! Many thanks
Nathalie
Hello Brenda, I tried your Samoa pie.
A lot here told me it was the best Keto dessert they had !
Congratulation for this delicious pie!
But...the crust was like powder, I don't know why.
Is this crust recipe holding well together? Better than the other one?
Thank you !
Brenda
This is the exact crust from the Samoa pie and it holds well together.
Maureen
I only have salted pumpkin seeds. Could I substitute them for the sunflower seeds?
Brenda
I think so although because they are salted you may want to reduce the butter, use half and see how it looks. If it still looks too dry, use a quarter more. I'm just thinking the pumpkin seeds with salt may make the crust a bit oily.
Sandra
I've never used Swerve! I've seen coupons in the paper, but I haven't found it in stores. So I just searched Amazon and - of course - they have it, but they have both granular and confectioners. Does it matter, and which should I use? Should I buy both, I wonder?
Thank you for these awesome desserts - can't wait to try them all!
Brenda
You can buy Swerve online at iherb.com and use my discount code YAJ035. Either kind will work in this recipe. But for no bake recipes that require smoothness, like custard, mousse, etc I prefer the confectioners.
KATHY
Meijer carries it and so does Whole foods. I use the powder one for everything. Due to the fact that the powder one sems to be the only one on the shelf every time I go to buy it. I don't see a difference.
Jennifer
Hey! Can this be made vegan with vegetable shortening?
Brenda
Sure!
