This keto lemon pie is one of those desserts you dream about. Perfect creamy lemon filling in an easy low carb pie crust. It really doesn’t get any better than this.

There are some desserts that just stick with you. And I don’t mean this in a bad way, as in making you too full or uncomfortable, or sticking to your hips or thighs or love handles. I mean it in the sense that it was so delicious, you can’t stop thinking about it.

You carry it around on your brain rather than your body, wishing you still had some and wondering when you can get around to making it again.

For me, that’s usually a rich chocolate dessert of some sort, but this time that honour goes to lemon. Specifically this keto lemon sour cream pie. So so good. Did I say it was good? I mean it was so SO good!

I have a lot of great keto pie recipes. Like my Keto Pecan Pie and my Strawberry Cream Pie. But this lemon pie recipe definitely ranks up there near the top. And since it’s such a fan favorite, I decided it needed a new instructional video too!

See how easy it is to make!

How To Make Keto Lemon Pie

Being such a dessert fanatic, I am always on the lookout for recipes that I think will convert well to a healthier version. I spied this pie from Ashlee Marie quite some time ago and saved it in my Pinterest folder for makeover recipes. It looked creamy and refreshing and perfect for a spring dessert.

Plus I have a bit of a thing for sour cream in sweet recipes these days, including my Low Carb Cranberry Muffins. That tanginess plays particularly well with fruity flavours and I knew it would make a great low carb pie.

The crust, obviously, needed to be revamped so I used my easy almond flour pie crust. It’s a delightfully simple press-in crust that takes only a few moments to make. And in this cake, you are pre-baking it, since it’s a cold no-bake filling.

But I know my keto foods and so I also knew I would have to work a little harder to get the filling to set properly.

In a recipe such as this, sugar has the effect of thickening and setting a filling, and it goes without saying that I am not about to use sugar. So I used one extra egg yolk and some xanthan gum, as well as replacing the milk with heavy cream.

As with any custard-like filling, you need to watch it carefully. Don’t walk away while it’s cooking. Just hang out there right by your stove, whisking and watching. It will take less than 10 minutes.

I also did something a little different than I’ve done in the past and that was to add the sweetener to the custard AFTER it had been cooked.

One of the tricky parts with working with erythritol-based sweeteners like Swerve is that it wants to recrystallize and I’ve found that heat accentuates this property. So when Swerve gets cooked along with the other ingredients in a smooth custard-like recipe, you sometimes get that funny little grittiness as it cools and recrystallizes.

I have been testing out this new method a bit for creamy fillings and I find that if you can add the sweetener at the end, you get little to no grittiness (for some recipes, it still makes sense to add the sweetener along with everything else).

I do recommend the Swerve confectioner’s in this lemon pie recipe. Because Swerve contains oligosaccharides, a prebiotic fiber, it helps the filling set properly. If you do choose to use another sweetener, you may want to add a little additional xanthan gum.

Dig in to this deliciously low carb lemon sour cream pie. Keto and grain-free!

This is where you need a little patience. A custard based pie like lemon sour cream pie needs to set for a long while. At least 4 hours, if not more. So be forewarned. If you are planning on making this for an event, make it at least a day ahead!

The end result? Oh friends, if you like creamy lemon desserts, you are going to go nuts for this keto lemon pie. It was so smooth, so tangy, so lemony and delicious. It’s one that will stick with you. But being a low carb recipe, at least it won’t stick to your hips!

This creamy, tangy low carb sour cream pie will become your favourite spring dessert. With an easy grain-free press-in pie crust, it's simple to make too.

Ingredients
Instructions
  1. In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine cream, egg yolks, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Cook, whisking frequently, until mixture thickens, about 5 to 8 minutes (but watch carefully, you do not want it to curdle).
  2. Remove from heat and add butter and lemon extract. Sprinkle with xanthan gum and whisk quickly to combine. Stir in sweetener to taste (I like mine rather tart).
  3. Whisk in sour cream until no lumps remain. Pour into pie shell and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to set - the longer, the better, so overnight is best if you can wait that long. (It's also awesome if you pop it in the freezer for an hour after being refrigerated).
  4. Top with lightly sweetened whipped cream.

  1. Love your recipes. Planning to make this one for my family. Thank you for all your research and work.

  2. Ohhhhh man, I cannot wait to try this one. I love lemon and your press-in pie crust recipe looks incredible too.

    Reply

  4. Carolyn, this reminds me of a Key Lime Pie recipe I have been wanting to try that uses sour cream. I have egg yolks I need to use and want to try this today! I like to make my pies in sheet form so they can be cut into smaller servings. Do you think if I double the crust and keep the filling the same, that would work in a 9×13 pan? Thanks!

    Reply

    • Carolyn, I made your pie in a 9×9 pan with a removable bottom after seeing how much volume I was dealing with. It turned out great and was received well by all! Perfect on a warm summer day. 🙂 Thanks for posting!!

  6. I use so many of your recipes!!! I love them!!! I noticed Swerve occasionally gives me a funny taste in the back of my throat so I only use it in some recipes. Could I use truvia in this recipe? I would use 12-18 packets.
    Oh, on another note!!! I USD to use Bobs Red Mill Almond flour but finally ordered Honeyville super fine. Wow!!!! Enormous difference. So fluffy and delicious!!!

    Reply

    • Well, guess what? Bob’s is coming out with a superfine almond flour and I had a chance to try it. Works beautifully and less expensive than honeyville! And yes, you could use Truvia here. Not sure how many packets.

      • Wonderful news, w need a break Almonds were in abundance in 2015(California) and yet the prices of Almonds and related products did not go down ! So I am look forward to
        Bob’s new almond flour.
        Thank you Caroline.

  9. Oooh… this looks like one I’m going to love, I love lemon… I was just thinking that you haven’t done a lemon tart… this is close! I’ve been using your crust from your lemon meringue pie recipe in all kinds of recipes (I just omit the sweetener when I want to make a quiche). What would you say are the differences between that pie crust and this one? Particular reasons to use one over the other? Also very excited to find out Bob’s Red Mill is making a superfine almond flour! I have to ship my stuff via vitacost or iherb, and they don’t ship Honeyville, so I can only get that when I have a family member visiting America… but they ship Bob’s Red Mill!

  10. Just saw Bob’s super fine almond flour at local store yesterday. This recipe looks delish. I too thank you for the work you put into these recipes.

  12. This filling is so good! I just made it as a custard and skipped the crust. I’m glad I only added 1/4 cup of swerve, this was sweet enough for me. It’s very tart but tastes perfect. Thank you for the recipe. A bite of this here and there will help curb my sweet cravings this week.

  13. We are in lemon heaven. My all carb husband loved it. He had seconds. I left a pic of it on your FB page. We used essential lemon oil in place of the extract. Yum!

  15. Made this last night and just ate a slice. This pie is lemon perfection! Thank you so much for this recipe!

    Reply

  16. I made this yesterday and we all had a slice last night for dessert. THIS IS A WINNER! The sweet/tart was perfect. Son and hubby (who both live for carbs) also gave it 2 thumbs up.

    I had never cooked a custard from scratch before and I had a little problem determining at what point it had thickened enough. I was pretty sure that by the time the 8 minutes cooking time were up and I had added the sweetener, and xanthan gum (but not the sour cream), that it wasn’t thickened enough so I turn the burner on and heated it more, watching and whisking. I was glad I did because I would have ruined a beautiful pie shell because the custard never would have set. But it all turned out perfectly and next time, I’ll know what I’m looking for as far as the thickness of the custard.

    The only problem was getting the slices out of the pie plate, because it stuck so the presentation was not pretty.

    Thanks for a great lemon pie recipe.

  17. Oh my goodness — this is the perfect pie (and crust)!! I made this for a party as the low- carb offering for myself and my hubby and everyone LOVED it. :). The crust was perfect and the lemon sour cream filling was sweet & tart and I only used 1/2 cup of swerve. OH and the pie pieces came out perfectly – the crust didn’t stick nor fall apart!! Oh my word — this pie is heavenly. Thanks!!!

    This recipe looks wonderful! I have a question…after reading it a few times I don’t see instructions on what to do with the strained lemon zest. What am I missing here?
    Thanks!

    • Strained lemon zest? I don’t know what you mean. There is lemon zest and it goes in the first step, as stated. I never mention “strained” lemon zest.

  24. Wow!!! I made this for a special meal over the weekend and it was delicious. Perfect. You have outdone yourself with this one! Thank you!

  25. I made this, this week. But I forgot to whisk in the lemon extract and butter, which I had all cubed, ready to go, but in the fridge. It still set up nicely overnight, though, and is super yummy, anyway! LOL

  27. Loved this and so did my company. I generally am only attracted to dark chocolate recipes, but my visitors can’t have caffeine even just what is found in chocolate so it was great to have a delicious non chocolate dessert to offer them.

  28. I’ve made this three times in the last month! We just couldn’t stop devouring this fantastic pie. My daughter is due to visit next month and I’ll just have to make it again, poor us, lol. Thank you so much for your meticulous creations and your wonderful blog. I’m always so excited to find your next posting in my email.

  29. I made this over the weekend for our family mid-winter Christmas dinner, although the taste was great (I like it extra tart too!) It didn’t set and was mostly pretty soupy in the middle 🙁 I feel the instruction to heat ‘until mixture thickens’ confused me a bit. I didn’t know how thick it was supposed to be and I didn’t want to overcook it as stated so i took it off the heat at 8 minutes but it was only slightly thicker than heavy cream at that stage. Can you give any kind of descriptor of what level of thickness it needs to get to before its ready? I’d love to make it again! (oh and the pie crust worked great as well – my first time making a pie EVER 🙂

    Reply

    • I have made this three times so far – and will definitely be making it again and again. It’s so good! I use twice the xanthan gum that the recipe calls for and it turns out thick enough to set up. Like you, the first time I made it, it was soupy even when chilled.

      Reply

  30. Made this tonight and it is every bit as good as it looks! Since my son and his little girls arrived at 9 o’clock, we broke out the pie after it had been in the fridge a little less than 5 hours. It was still soft like pudding, but heavenly, nonetheless. This will be my go-to for taking to pot lucks or serving to guests from now on!

    Reply

  31. Lovely site! I live in Mexico so it is hard for me to get some ingredients. I have not found guar gum or xantham gum YET. Until I do, is there a substitute. I know it is the binder. Thank you!

    Reply

    • Hmmmmm, I don’t know of any other substitutes that would be easy to find, like gluccomannan (I am sure that’s even harder to find!). You could try an extra egg yolk to thicken and if it doesn’t set properly, freeze it for a while until it’s firm but still sliceable?

      Reply

      • Yay! I found a source! Someone that has lived here a while also suggested guar gum in case anyone else ever asks. 🙂 Looking so forward to this as lemon and lime are my favorite. Thanks!

        Reply

  33. Your tip about the sweetener was spot on! The erythritol didn’t crystallise at all. I just made this pie and it tastes AMAZING. I can’t wait til tomorrow, when I can eat it!

    Reply

  34. Carolyn – Love your recipes! Was wondering if this recipe might work with liquid sucralose or must I used erythritol (Swerve). Don’t have any on hand at the moment, otherwise I would make this exactly as you’ve written. Thanks for doing all the hard work for us!!

    Reply

    • I think the filling will work with another sweetener but I can’t be positive. Swerve has fiber in it so it may help thicken the filling somewhat.

      Reply

  36. I made this pie today. It was sooooo delicious!! The crust taste like shortbread to me. I waited about a hour before I just had to taste it. After that I put the pie in the freezer to speed up the chilling process. I’m going to let my family try it. They are very picky eaters. I’m sure they will love it too. Thanks so much for sharing your recipe!!?

    Reply

  37. The crust was great but we did not care for the sour creamy filling. It was too tart but not in a lemony way. I would recommend using significantly more lemon juice. Thats what I would do if I ever remake this. I do like some of the other recipes, but this one was a huge miss for my family. Everyone else commenting seems to love it but it just had an odd flavor to me.

    Reply

    • I’ve thought about using True Lemon – the crystallized lemon that comes in a box that I found in the sugar and flour aisle. The recipe does make a pie with a light lemon taste so I think the True Lemon might give it more lemon flavor without watering it down. Haven’t tried it yet. I may do that the next time I make it.

      Reply

  39. I just made this lemon pie last night, and it was fantastic! I must have spent ages bouncing between three popular low carb blogs, trying to decide which lemon pie recipe to try this weekend… And I’m so glad that I chose this one! It has the perfect balance between lemony/creamy/sweet/tart flavors… I’ll be making this again, that’s for sure.

    In the end, I chose this recipe because it had the most reviews from people who had actually *made it* and reported back. (I find too many blog recipes overflowing with “reviews” from people who simply say something like “Sounds/looks delicious! I’ll try it sometime!”) Well, I’m here to say that it not only looks and sounds delicious, but it tastes even better.

    I can understand a little bit of confusion regarding the curd thickening. I feel like I must have simmered/stirred mine for a good 20 minutes without any significant thickening OR curdling. Eventually I gave up, proceeded with the recipe, and added a little bit of extra xanthan, just in case. It set perfectly.

    Reply

  41. This is pretty much the best dessert ever! I think we could eat it every week. The crust is so easy and terrific, I’m eager to try a savory version and make a quiche. This is so tangy, rich and delightful, no one would ever guess it’s sugar free.

    Reply

  42. Has anyone added/do you think the filling would stand up to adding in fresh blueberries? My husband’s fav pie is a lemon blueberry pie made with sweetened condensed milk and I think this will be a great THM sub for it so I can have some too. But I want it to be amazing because he’s been not super impressed with the things I’ve been making 🙁

    Reply

  43. I don’t have Swerve, but have Xyla which is a xylatol sugar replacement. I also have pure liquid stevia but don’t love the taste. Would the Xyla be a good supplement and also keep the carbs low?

    When I looked at the Swerve carb content it says 3G per tsp vs Xyla which says 4g per tsp. It seems like a lot of carbs to end up with less than 4g net carbs per slice. I’m new to Keto and baked Keto goods so maybe I don’t understand how these replacement sweeteners work.

    Any insight or recommendations would be greatly appreciated! I was hoping to make this today for Easter weekend!

    Ps. I’ve made it before with stevia and it was glorious! I just don’t LOVE the stevia flavor and that is why I was wondering about using Xyla.

    Thank you!

    Reply

    • Hi Allison,

      Erythritol and xylitol both technically have carbs. In the case of erythritol, those carbs never enter the blood stream (excreted directly through the urine) so they don’t have any affect on blood glucose and no glycemic affect. Some of the xylitol carbs do enter the blood stream so most people only subtract HALF the carbs in xylitol.

      As someone who tests her blood sugar, I can say that erythritol has no affect on my blood sugar but xylitol does a bit.

      Hope that helps!

      Reply

  44. Hi, this looks amazing! Can’t wait to try! One question: can I leave out xanthan gum? If not, any suggested replacement? Thank you!

    Reply

  46. Do you have any suggestions on how much Xanthan gum should be added when making things? Do you go by the amount of eggs you have or by the amount of flour you have, or if it is too liquidy? So does adding just a small amount of Xanthan Gum work or do you need a full tablespoon for a batch recipe? Thank you!

    Reply

    • Whoa! NEVER EVER use a full tablespoon of xanthan gum. Typically no more than 1/2 teaspoon. I am not really sure what you are asking here, though. Do you mean for any recipe, as in a formula? It really varies recipe to recipe.

      Reply

  47. Hi, Carolyn . . .

    I love your recipes, and don’t remember. Do you *ever* use Splenda? I am going to try this recipe, it sounds fabulous and wonder if Splenda will work.

    I don’t expect you will necessarily know, but cannot resist asking.

    Thanks.

  48. I made this pie and I was obsessed with it. So delightful, creamy, lemony wonderment. I finished by myself in 3 days(no kids yet!) I used Steviva sweetener. I feel like I can enjoy it more without all the sugar because I’m focusing more on the flavors and I don’t feel yucky while/after eating. Thanks! I’m going to be getting your cookbook when it comes out! Also is there an equivalent to gelatin, as I do not eat pork or pork products but eat other meats?

    I’m assuming that by saying egg yolks, you mean for the whites to be removed?

    Also, I have had trouble locating xanthan at my local stores–could you suggest an alternative? Would corn starch work?

    Thank you!

  54. Have you tried using the confectioners sugar from Swerve?

    The first and only fat bombs I’ve made were made with the granulated Swerve. Needless to say the candy is gritty even though I melted the coconut oil and tried to dissolve the granules. I bought confectioners Swerve to use for my next attempt.

  59. AMAZING!!!! I love lemons and this pie did not disappoint, it was delicious! I will admit I used 1/2 cup of lemon juice and 1/4 tsp more lemon extract, so I did add just a pinch more of the xanthan since I increased the lemon juice. Added a pinch of salt as well. I also used at least 3/4 cup of the powdered swerve…maybe even one cup, I tasted it for sweetness and added a little more until I thought it was the correct amount. My husband loved this pie too! Winner!!!!

  60. I am on my second go round of making this recipe and it is AMAZING! The first time I brought it to a family dinner so I could have dessert…but everyone skipped the full sugar dessert and dove into this. There were no leftovers and it was requested that I bring it for dinner again tonight. 5 stars!!

  61. Made this pie today and WOW! Outstanding. I will definitely be making this regularly. I only had one problem and saw someone else had the same issue. I couldn’t get it out of the pie plate. It was very very stuck to the glass pie plate. Any ideas or suggestion as to why or to how to keep this from happening?

    Reply

    • That never happens to me with that pie crust but next time, try greasing your pie plate first. I don’t have to and maybe it’s’ my pie plate (although it’s just a regular glass one!).

      • Today it came out just fine. Maybe it just needed to be refrigerated longer. You’re right – so good the longer it sits!!
        Oh, One other thing I remembered that I forgot to do when I was making my piecrust was to poke it with a fork all over. I wonder if that made a difference too. Thank you for your response. Love your recipes!

  62. I did a trial run of the filling only. I probably did not get it thick enough. It did not firm enough as to slice. I put it in the freezer. We ate it as you would ice cream……….wonderful! Do you have any thoughts how to do this with strawberries? Maybe just puree and a little extract? The texture is unbelievable. Thank you

  63. Made this lemon sour cream pie last week. WOW! All I can say is this pie is decadent & rich and reminds me of a dessert I would get in a Southern Tea Room. I love tart lemon desserts and this is my first sour cream pie to make. I added raspberry puree on top, the flavors compliment each other. You would never know this pie is low carb and sugar free. It is absolutely delicious and will be making it again. THANK YOU for the recipe and all your hard work with your blog, cookbook & many other yummy low carb recipes.

  64. Thank you for this recipe! I was really needing a low carb dessert that was not a “fat bomb” texture. I had to eliminate the pie crust and xanthum (because I didn’t have) and I halved the rest of ingredients to make a lemon pudding. It made 2 servings and I chilled in fridge. It was so very good. Thanks, again.

    Reply

  65. I literally made this a day and a half ago, and its already gone! The crust was perfect, but my pie didn’t set well. I’m making another one tonight but I’ll let it cook a tad longer to thicken. Regardless, we would have used a straw if necessary to eat it! It was literally the best dessert I’ve made ever!

  67. I decided on my way to the DMV this morning that you are an Angel! I made this pie on Saturday for Easter Sunday dessert and it was AMAZING!!! I’m fairly new to keto and have had a couple of baking things not turn out very good so I was a little nervous. I cooked the egg mixture for 8 minutes and used the 1/2 cup of swerve. It set-up perfectly overnight! If I did not tell you that this was a keto dessert I swear you would have had NO IDEA!!! This is the 2nd recipe of yours that I have tried and have had stellar results with. You will definitely be my go-to resource for desserts!!! Thank you for all of your hard work!

  68. I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve made this. Sometimes with lemon and lemon zest, other times with lime and lime zest. It never disappoints and even non-keto folks love it! Now, I’m going to put it in individual half pint mason jars and sprinkle it with the crumbs of a leftover pumpkin pecan waffle I have frozen.

    Reply

  69. So if I make the filling only, no crust the total carbs per serving would be 2.14? I just want the filling!

  70. I’m assuming the bottled lemon juice & fresh lemon juice are entirely two different things? I used the bottled and it’s too lemony. I will try again cause I think I’d love it. Do U think there’s a big difference?

    Reply

    • Huge difference. Bottled lemon juice is “from concentrate”…much stronger flavor and it doesn’t taste like real lemons, in my opinion.

  71. I am making this as part of a meal for someone with cancer who is requesting Keto foods. Can I sub cornstarch for the xanthan? I really don’t want to have to buy a whole bag and then likely not use it again.

  72. This Lemon Sour Cream pie is the best ever… I am totally into the creaminess and how it melts in my mouth. Took it to work and everyone loved it. The crust is also unbelievable. So close to the typical Graham cracker crust… you are amazing! Thank you…

    • Sorry to hear it but if it never thickened at all, then you did something wrong. Did you use a different sweetener, by chance?

      • Mine didn’t set either. Did I not cook it long enough? What is it supposed to look like? In any case, it tasted amazing! I will definitely try again!

  75. Omg I just made this for a Mother’s day treat. Between the 3 of us ladies we could’ve easily eaten the whole pie in one sitting. Delissimo!!! Thanks so much for sharing this beauty.

  76. I was looking for a good use for the eight egg yolks I’m left with when I make my coconut flour tortilla shells, and this is such a winner! I don’t bother with the pie crust and just eat it like a pudding. I also have tried it with lime, and I use vanilla extract instead of lemon and it’s delicious. Lastly, I’ve poured these into Popsicle forms, and even my kids love them. Thanks for the fantastic dessert!!
