    Have you ever heard of Kentucky Derby Pie? Well, this right here is the keto-friendly version and it is positively dreamy. Dreamy, I tell you!

    Sometimes it’s hard to pick between two beloved sweet treats, but with this keto pie recipe, you don’t have to. It’s the perfect union of keto pecan pie and keto chocolate chip cookies.

    Those are two of my favorite desserts in the whole wide world, and I know I am not alone. Topped with a little keto vanilla ice cream, this pie is absolutely out of this world.

    Favorite Keto Pie Recipes

    When you first embarked on a keto diet, you probably thought that pie was off limits for a while. Perhaps even forever.

    What a sad state of affairs that would be! Imagine having to forego pie at Thanksgiving and Christmas. It breaks my heart just thinking about it.

    However, you will be glad to know that many of your favorites are actually easy to keto-fy. And I’ve got tons of keto pie recipes to prove it.

    Fan favorites include my keto pumpkin cream pie and keto coconut cream pie, both of which are amazing.

    But I created this gooey Keto Kentucky Derby Pie for my book, The Ultimate Guide to Keto Baking, and I was blown away by how good it was. It’s absolutely one of my favorites from the whole book, and that’s saying something!

    FYI, “Kentucky Derby Pie” is a trademarked name, which is why my official title is “kentucky chocolate chip cookie pie” ????.

    How to make Keto Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie

    A good keto pie recipe starts with the best keto pie crust. From there, the rest is as easy as pie! Here are my best tips for getting it right:

    1. Prepare the crust – This is my easy keto pie crust recipe and it really is the best! But this time, you treat it a little differently so make sure you read the recipe directions carefully.
    2. Freeze the crust – The pie bakes for quite a long time and freezing the crust helps ensure it doesn’t get over-baked.
    3. Make the filling – It really is like a mash up of chocolate chip cookies and gooey pecan pie. The consistency of the filling should be like a thin cookie dough that’s almost pourable.
    4. Use the right sweeteners – If you want a truly gooey Kentucky Derby Pie that has the flavor of a chocolate chip cookie, use a combination of Swerve Brown and allulose or BochaSweet.
    5. Fill the pie – Spread the filling in the frozen pie crust, all the way to the edges.
    6. Bake until golden – You want the crust to be golden brown and the filling to be mostly set, with the littlest bit of jiggle in the center.
    7. Let it cool – This is the hard part, right here! If you dig in right away, it will be too fragile and filling will just ooze all over. Wait 30 minutes, and while it’s still warm, cut it into slices. If you want your pie to be more set, wait until it cools completely.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    I don’t like coconut flour, is there a good substitute?

    You need a bit of flour to thicken the filling, but you can try using ¾ cup of almond flour. It will raise the carb count a bit.

    Can I use a different sweetener?

    I highly recommend using a brown sugar replacement like Swerve Brown for a classic Derby Pie flavor. And the allulose helps keep the filling more gooey and soft. If you use erythritol based sweeteners only, the filling will firm up and recrystallize as it cools.

    I’m dairy-free, can I still make this keto pie?

    You bet! Try using coconut oil or ghee in the crust and the filling. You could also try palm shortening.

    Can this pie be made ahead?

    Yes, you could make this pie a day or two in advance and refrigerate it. I recommend letting it come to room temperature before serving, or warming it gently in the oven for maximum gooeyness.

    Storage Information

    Keto cookie pie should be stored in the fridge, tightly covered, for up to 5 days. I have not tried freezing this recipe but it should work as well.

      My husband has intestinal issues with nut pieces. He loves them but should not eat them. Could I grind the pecans? Should I add more chocolate chips instead? Other suggestions? Derby pie is his absolute favorite!

      Is there any reason to be concerned about thermal shock with taking a ceramic or glass pie plate from the freezer and putting it in a 325 oven?

        I haven’t had any issues with either my Pyrex glass dish or my white ceramic dish. Pyrex website indicates that you can go from freezer to oven. I think cheaper dishes may be an issue, though.

        I used a metal pie pan for this reason exactly. Turned out fabulously! I did use a different keto crust recipe, because it is our favorite. No issues with it burning or sticking. I’ve tried a few chocolate pecan pie recipes in my 5 years of keto, and FINALLY, one where the filling tastes legit!! I almost didn’t try this one, but so glad I did! Thank you, Carolyn!

        No, I think you’re not seeing that right. There is no top crust, it’s just the top of the filling and how it bakes.

      My Dear Carolyn,
      I am writing to give You a 5 Star Review!! I am 82 years young and you are my FAVORITE FOOD BLOGGER!! I want you to know that from the very first day I saw you on your site, I fell in love with your wit, spunk, talent and integrity!!!! When I was 8 I fell ill and was out of school for one semester. During that time my Mom taught me how to bake cookies and cakes. I reached a point where “I sold some of “em to my Mom’s friends”. In the recent couple of years reading your site (MY FAVORITE), along with a few others, has become my most enjoyable past time. (With all the Negativity in Our Culture, I found I could not handle watching all of the stressful TV. As a result, I went online and returned to one of my favorite memories as a child……Baking!!
      I could go on and on, but I need to let the other folks tell you how GREAT your Recipes Are!!! You Keep on Doing What You Are Doing and there’s No Telling Where You Will Go!!! You are the Real Deal!!
      YOU GO GIRL!!!!

        In any recipe, if it’s not stated, assume granular. Because when we say “sugar” we usually mean granular….

      Hi Carolyn,

      What is the difference between allulose and Bocha Sweet. I have some bocha sweet that I purchased to make your pecan pie recipe, but may not have enough. I do have Wholesome Yum allulose on hand. Would it be the same? Do you prefer one over the other?

      • Carolyn says

        October 15, 2021 at 7:17 am

        They aren’t the same per se, but they do have the same affect in a pie like this so you can use either one here. Or a bit of both.

      Still trying to learn the sweetener tips/secrets… I don’t tolerate BocaSweet or Allulose very well. Could I use Swerve and Xylitol? Thank you Carolyn! I am a fan – started with the Southern Smothered Pork Chops and then “Oatmeal Cookies” and latest fav is the Pecan Shortbread Cookies – I have always loved Pecan (Pah-kahn) Sandies and these are perfect.

        Hi Jill… this article on sweeteners will help. https://alldayidreamaboutfood.com/best-keto-sweeteners/

        but if you don’t tolerate them well, you can do all Swerve. You will just find that the filling is going to recrystallize some. You can also try doing 3/4 Swerve and only 1/4 of the other to see if that can help offset the re-crystallization.
