INGREDIENT NOTES:
CREAM CHEESE:
- We use cream cheese to provide a strong foundation in the filling. We can also use high-fat cheese that is keto by nature and provides deep flavor without any change in texture.
BROWN SUGAR:
- This sugar produces a caramel-like topping. For the keto diet, you can use a brown-style erythritol mixture that gives the same taste as it does.
CHOCOLATE COOKIE CRUST:
- Regular cookie crumbs give sweetness and structure to the pie. For keto, make ground almond flour cookies or a combination of almond flour, butter, and a low-carb sweetener.
POWDERED SUGAR:
- We use regular powdered sugar to sweeten the filling. To keep the filling smooth on keto, you can use powdered monk fruit sweetener or allulose alternatively.
CHOCOLATE CHIPS:
- A semi-sweet chocolate chips deliver a regular and smooth chocolate taste to improve the flavor. The use of keto versions also works well, as long as they melt uniformly. They are sweetened with stevia or erythritol.
COCONUT AND PECANS:
- They provide crunch and an original German chocolate flavor. Both ingredients are keto by nature, so you yo don’t need to do any changing.
