These Keto Pecan Pie Truffles are easy to make and so delicious! They are a perfect no bake sugar-free treat for any time of year.
In case you hadn’t noticed, I am a pecan pie fiend. A pecan pie aficionado, a pecan pie fanatic, a pecan pie maniac. I just can’t get enough of that gooey, rich, caramel scented pecan flavor. And I am always looking for new ways to incorporate that pecan goodness into other recipes.
Of course I enjoy the pie itself, and I highly recommend my Keto Pecan Pie recipe. It’s one of my all time favorite keto desserts and I make one every year for Thanksgiving. But there are so many other delicious ways to enjoy that same rich taste, and these Keto Pecan Pie Truffles are high on my list too.
They are so delectable, and so easy to make that you can whip them up any old time. No need to wait for the holidays to enjoy little pecan pie bites enrobed in rich dark chocolate.
So the real question is: What are you waiting for???
Updated Pecan Pie Truffles Recipe
I actually first created and published this recipe back in November 2015. They were absolutely delicious, but a little higher carb than I would have liked, because of limited access to really great keto ingredients.
But things have changed quite a bit in the intervening 5 years and I thought it was time to make these again and truly make them keto friendly.
One thing that helps bring down the carb count is my updated Sugar Free Keto Caramel Sauce. I used to have to rely on a bit of coconut sugar or molasses to get a proper caramel color and consistency. But now I use Swerve Brown and BochaSweet, which gives it the perfect color and flavor, and it stays soft and gooey.
I also found I could reduce the almond flour a bit, making the truffles a little softer and more tender. Now these truffles are melt-in-your-mouth delicious.
How to make Pecan Pie Truffles
These really are so easy and can be whipped up in about 45 minutes, start to finish. You do have to have a little patience to chill the truffles before dipping in chocolate. But then you’re ready to bite into some little bites of keto pecan pie heaven!
Here are my best tips for getting it right:
- Make the caramel sauce first – it’s built right into the recipe for you. It’s part of what gives these keto truffles their distinct pecan pie flavor. Because it’s a small amount (it’s a half batch of my usual keto caramel sauce), you need to keep a close eye on it so it doesn’t burn.
- Grind the pecans finely… but not too finely! You want the majority to resemble coarse crumbs, with a few bigger pieces in there for texture. And if you grind too long, it can easily become pecan butter.
- Set aside 3 tablespoons of the chopped pecans for decorating the truffles.
- Stir the dry ingredients together, and then add the caramel sauce. It’s the “glue” that holds these together, so work it in well until the dough begins to hold together.
- Roll the dough into balls and freeze for an hour to allow them to firm up. This makes it much easier to dip them in the melted chocolate.
- Always melt your chocolate double boiler style to keep it from heating too quickly and seizing. I also like to add a touch of cocoa butter to help it melt more smoothly and thin out a bit.
- For the chocolate coating, I recommend either ChocZero or Lily’s dark chocolate. I find these to be the best quality, so they’re less likely to seize.
- Top the truffles with the reserved pecans quickly after they are dipped. Because they are frozen, the chocolate will set quickly, so sprinkle some on right after you dip each truffle.
That’s really it! Ready to make some delicious Keto Pecan Pie Truffles?

These Keto Pecan Pie Truffles are easy to make and so delicious! They are a perfect no bake sugar-free treat for any time of year.
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 1/2 tbsp Swerve Brown
- 1 1/2 tbsp BochaSweet
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 1/4 cups toasted pecans
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/3 cup powdered Swerve
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3 ounces sugar-free dark chocolate chopped
- 1/2 ounce cocoa butter
-
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, Swerve, and Bocha Sweet. Bring to a boil and cook 2 to 3 minutes (be careful not to burn it).
-
Remove from heat and add the cream. The mixture will bubble vigorously. Set aside to cool.
-
In a food processor, finely chop the pecans. They should resemble coarse crumbs with a few bigger pieces. Reserve about 3 tbsp of the chopped pecans for decorating the truffles and transfer the rest to a large bowl.
-
Add the almond flour, powdered sweetener, and salt, and stir to combine. Stir in the caramel sauce until the dough begins to clump together.
-
Using about 1 tbsp of dough at a time, squeeze together with your hands and then roll into balls. Place balls on a waxed paper-lined cookie sheet. Freeze until firm, about 1 hour.
-
In a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water, melt the chocolate and cocoa butter together until smooth.
-
Working with one ball at a time, dip into melted chocolate and toss to coat. Lift with a fork and gently tap against the side of the bowl to remove excess chocolate. Quickly sprinkle each ball with a little of the reserved chopped pecans before the chocolate sets.
-
Refrigerate until set. Serve at room temperature for best taste and texture (can be stored in the fridge).
Lynn A. Reynolds says
I used to dip pretzels in chocolate and make potato candy (cooked potato, confectioners sugar, coconut, and bittersweet chocolate. But now I just love to eat my dark chocolate. It’s just my dad and me now and no point in making all the fancy candy when I can just enjoy my daily fix.
Jennifer says
I definitely can just eat chocolate on its own. I love to mix it with anything salty, dipping gluten free pretzels, drizzling over popcorn or salted nuts.
Heather says
These look amazing! I like to dip chocolate squares in almond butter. Simple but delicious.
Kay says
This is my kind of treat!
Louise says
“Straight”…if it’s not broken…don’t fix it…or just enjoy those broken pieces!
Marcia says
chocolate is my go to sweet – love the contrast of chocolate with nuts, or something salty but I also love unadulterated chocolate on it’s own!!
Courtney says
I’ve come to find that using chocolate bar to chop and use in recipes makes a much better product than using chips in my opinion. I love Green & Black’s organic chocolate. It’s definitely a staple in my house. I can’t wait to try this recipe as there are so few ingredients and the pictures look so delightful!
Laurie says
Green and Blacks 85% Organics is my FAVORITE! I always keep a bar (or three) in my pantry! For my LCHF lifestyle I can have a bite or two and stay on plan.
Will definitely be making these truffles and soon!!!!
peggy says
where can u buy that brand of chocolate?
Carolyn says
Well, lots of places! Amazon, of course, but I see it now in plenty of regular grocery stores.
Lisa says
Vitacost is a great online store and usually have some of the best prices. They also provide free shipping if you spend $49 or more. I’ve used them for over 10 yrs now and they’re really great.
Anne says
Okay, I made these “sort of” I didnt have any boca sweet, so I used a combo of choczero maple syrup and caramel syrup plus softened butter. Oh my gosh! These are sooo good!
Thanks for the recipe!
Carolyn says
Sounds amazing!
Jess says
I’m a drizzled kind of gal! I love to (heavily) drizzle chocolate on cookies, pies, ice cream, salty snacks, bacon…you name it!
Suzy says
Every year I make some kind of chocolate candy treat for family and friends but since I’m on a low carb way of eating, I don’t know if I could trust myself around chocolate these days… But this chocolate seems to fit the bill, these look scrumptious!

Karin says
Dark chocolate is great on its own as a special treat, or sometimes I did prunes in a little melted chocolate. I use that for a special treat when I’m exercising and my blood sugar is a little low.
Gina says
I incorporate chocolate every way I possibly can! I love rich homemade hot cocoa, cookies dipped in chocolate, luxury candies and of course straight chocolate.
Kathy E. says
Chocolate is always on my mind and is a large part of my ingredient list for holiday baking! I have grown to love dark chocolate and prefer it over any other type of chocolate. I use it in many of my recipes for the holidays and chop it, melt it, drizzle it, dip it, any way that I can think of to enjoy its flavor and goodness!
Michelle says
As far as chocolate is concerned, I consider every day a holiday! I literally eat dark chocolate every day, usually as my dessert/treat at night (though often it’s beside my cup of coffee in the morning, too). At Thanksgiving and Christmas I’ll typically make some kind of decadent chocolate dessert to get us in the holiday spirit.
Elaine Markley says
For good dark chocolate like Green and Black, I like to let it slowly melt in my mouth as I savor every wonderful nuance of flavor!
Mandy Blackmon says
I had planned on making a chocolate pecan pie for Thanksgiving but your truffle recipe seems a better choice. I can make them ahead of time too–huge bonus for me. Every Christmas my kids and I make peppermint bark with both white and dark chocolate. We give some away as gifts and it’s our favorite holiday treat, next to real chocolate hot cocoa and homemade brownies. Dark chocolate rules!
Denise M says
Chop to add to cookies, melt for peppermint bark and eat it straight out of the bag
Cammi Lewis says
I love making cheesecakes with chocolate ganache.
Carolyn says
Me too…da best!
Robin R. says
I’m going to try Green and Black’s chocolate now! Your description of it as well as imagining the bittersweet along with the sweet of the truffle was perfect. I love that it’s fair trade and appreciate the shout out on their behalf. I will make these…right after getting the chocolate! Thank you!
Angela says
I love to just eat the chocolate straight. I stock up on my chocolate bars when they go on sale and keep them in the refrigerator. I can’t wait to try this recipe. This sounds wonderful. I want to make a batch for my family too but my mom hates dark chocolate. Do you think making a batch with milk chocolate would taste good too?

I clicked on the Official Rules link, and I got a 404 (think it was) error – access to page denied.

I don’t have twitter or a blog site.

I don’t see my original post, which stated that I got an error message when I clicked on the rules link (404 I believe). Possibly because I used the wrong email address on it. Oops!

Oh and thank you for this chance to win!
I Love chocolate, especially dark chocolate. (Even the amount of sugar that is in 82% scares me tho.

Oh man I love chocolate. Dark chocolate! I usually incorporate it into my breakfast if possible and eat some everyday whether plain or with something!
Jan says
Chocolate any way, any time 🙂 I typically use it chopped and included in cookies,scones or other baked goods. I am a fan of Green & Black Organic chocolate – I buy it at my local health food store.
Vivian Ruble says
“C”… all of the above! We still make candy and dip it, but I have also learned to eat unsweetened chocolate straight and I love it with hot coffee for a snack! (along with my unsweetened tea, coffee, etc. chocolate is just another taste I have grown to love straight and unsweetened)!! I am planning on making these for Thanksgiving this year! They look yummy.. grandkids will love them!
Carolyn says
Thanks, Vivian!
BT says
Yum! Dark Chocolate Bark with dried cranberries, unsweetened coconut and raw almonds. The perfect Holiday Bark!
Kelly says
I like to chop it up in various baked goods
Amanda says
All of the above!! I love dark chocolate, and I can’t wait to try this recipe! It looks amazing!! 🙂
Danielle says
My absolute holiday favorite is actually the cookies with the Hershey’s kiss in the middle! I can’t recall for the life of me what they’re called, but to me they are a holiday tradition.
Jan says
I love grating a little chocolate into my coffee, adding some chips into my pumpkin pies, swirling some into my cheesecake…yup…just eating it, too!
P.J. Stietz says
I love to chop up some nuts, add a bit of sea salt, and coat in dark chocolate. Then I drop by spoonfuls on to waxed paper to make nut clusters. So good!
Carolyn says
Yum!
Jillian M says
I make holiday gifts of chocolate dipped pretzels, truffels, chocolate covered oreos. I go through massive amounts lol!
D'Ann Martin says
This will be my first THM Christmas, so I plan to find new creations like this to incorporate chocolate. I used to dip buckeyes, so I’ll have to find a THM version of it this year:) I would like to add that your dessert recipes are the only fail-proof ones I’ve found so far! I have no fear making one of your desserts and taking it to work or sharing with my family without tasting it first. I can’t say that about so many other THM desserts I’ve dabbled with. Thank you for all the effort to make this site so tasty and wonderful 🙂
Carolyn says
That is so lovely to hear, thanks for the compliment D’Ann.
NancyE says
Both! Can’t go wrong with chocolate.
Debbie Jennings says
I always have to make traditional fudge and then low carb treats for myself but have been converting everything over to low carb slowly so the family doesn’t revolt…lol. These truffles are absolutely on my to-make list.
Beth Novak says
I usually have great intentions of making wonderful things with chocolate, but end up just eating it as is! Green & Black makes wonderful chocolate.
Marsha says
Would this work well with Lindt 90% cocao? I have a stash of Lindt and prefer the 90%.
Carolyn says
Sure.
Amber says
Everything is better with chocolate and I do love this brand!
Sarah G says
Well, I have a daughter whose birthday is always right before, right after, or on Thanksgiving. She is asking for a double layer cheese cake and chocolate frosting. So, I’m using your chocolate ganache on top this year. She wanted the same thing last year so maybe it’s a new sorta-Thanksgiving tradition as she is my Thanksgiving baby.
I do love Green and Black chocolate! Sometimes my husband will bring home a dark chocolate bar for me. 🙂 It’s the best. I prefer it over Lindt, for sure.
Carolyn says
Happy early birthday to your daughter!
Sarah G says
Thanks! She’ll be so excited you said that. They all know you. If I bake something I usually get asked, Is this Carolyn Ketchum or Maria Emmerich? Lol!
Sarah G says
Oh my. I told her. She said, “WHAT?! She is a famous person and she said ‘Happy Birthday’ to ME?” I think that made her day.
Carolyn says
Oh my heavens, I am not famous but that is seriously cute!
heather says
I incorporate chocolate in to the holidays b melting it when I make fudge.

Sparkly Jules says
First, I want to say how much I appreciate your blog. As a WLS patient, I need to limit my carbs for health and other reasons (like immediate side effects *ahem*), and so far everything I’ve made from your blog has turned out perfectly. Not one failure, so thank you!!
As for chocolate? I would eat it even if I melted it on my shoes. So many options. I can’t pick just one.
Thank you,
Jules

Tracie says
I have to have choc. Chips in everything! Back as far as I can remember I wouldn’t eat a brownie without chips and I always insisted that chips be put in my shakes cuz I like something to chew on. People used to think I was nuts, but now they are in everything
Ann says
That’s an easy question! I use chocolate in every way imaginable during the holidays. I melt it to make bark, I chop it to add to the top of cakes/cupcakes, I chop it to use in cookies/bars AND I melt it into my homemade pudding. I am the original chocoholic!
betsy says
This is an easy one – I love hot cocoa!
Ruth says
My favorite is your caramel sauce, pecans, and dark chocolate all mixed together ! The best
Kristen says
I’m a certified chocoholic, so I incorporate chocolate in just about every way possible! Cookies, cakes, brownies, chocolate-dipped pretzels, chocolate-dipped cookies, chocolate-dipped dried fruit, chocolate-dipped anything really. 🙂
I especially love a mug of good rich hot cocoa. It reminds me of when I was young and my mother used to drive us around town to look at Christmas lights. We’d always stop somewhere for a hot beverage to keep us warm. Nothing makes me feel the holiday spirit more than holding a hot mug full of chocolaty goodness!
Pam says

My husband makes the most delicious fudge, and chocolate covered pretzels, neither of which are remotely low carb, sadly. We usually buy one box of Belgian truffles to share with the family, but this year I read the ingredient list, and I think I can make them better and heathier fairly easily.
Carolyn says
Good for you!

I love to make chocolate gifts for the holidays! My favorite is chocolate covered carmel pretzel sticks. (So bad, but so good) I also make chocolate spoons I gift with a cofee mug at Christmas.
Leslie says
Oh dear…I love to chocolate all the things! Honestly, Green & Black is one of my favorite chocolates, and has been for years now. I love to eat it straight, or even add some to your low carb hot chocolate recipe (which is a cold weather favorite of mine). I always aspire to make yummy things like truffles, but I find that I end up eating the chocolate before I ever get around to making them. :p
Denise Burchard says
Since having a stroke, I find that making treats (much as I love them) is just too difficult one-handed, but I can still manage to eat them if someone else makes them. If not, I can still eat the bar.
Kathleen says
I eat it straight up plain! Yum!
Jennifer says
Oh Carolyn, words cannot describe how awesome these are! I am a huge chocolate pecan pie fan and now that my husband and I are sugar and grain- free, I thought I would never again enjoy the flavor of the dessert I so dearly loved, but you have duplicated it in this amazing recipe! I am making my second batch in as many days. This will be go-to recipe for candy this Christmas season and beyond! Thank you, thank you!

Yay, so glad you like them!

Green & Black’s chocolate is my favorite. I eat it straight. I also coat truffles with it. I love coconut truffles coated with 85% Green & Black chocolate. They’re like mini-Mounds bars, but less sweet. I do them low carb with Swerve and stevia.

Apparently it is still a family favorite as my kids are now doing that with their children. I also love pecan pie so I am very much looking forward to trying these!
Carolyn says
I love chocolate just on its own and Green & Black’s is one of my favorites!
Tresa says
I was always a milk chocolate gal until I started LCHF now I am warming up to Dark Chocolate. I ‘ve read good things about Green and Black’s and look forward to trying it especially with this truffle recipe. I think sounds delicious.
Allison Swain says

Hello, Carolyn. I really look forward to your e-mails. Love your recipes and your outlook on life. My chocolate never seems to make it into many recipes because I love to eat it square by square with a nice cup of tea or coffee. It makes a totally satisfying dessert in the evening. I have not had Black and White but I’d love to try it.
Lisa Bousson says
Only once per year I make homemade peanut toffee and spread dark chocolate over it. For the holidays, this year I’ve found a recipe for low carb toffee and I look forward to having my treat healthified! 🙂
Karen says
These candies look pretty delicious, but chocolate plain, pretty much anyway it can be used is good.
Sarah says
I combine it with nuts and dried fruit.
Shertie Lee says
I have been a chocoholic for as long as I can remember, it’s the 5th food group as far as I’m concerned. Thanks to you, I get to eat it again and without cheating! The best chocolate is in my mouth. 😉
Peggie T says
I like to add chopped macadamia nuts to melted chocolate and then sprinkle it with kosher sea salt.
Lisa says
I like to incorporate chocolate into my holidays by both eating it straight and by baking with it. I tend to eat a lot of chocolate candy during the holidays and I also like to make cookies that have chocolate in them.
Kris Reeves says
You know, a little square of chocolate and a good red wine are so satisfying after a good dinner!
Emily says
We truffle it:)
Dee says
We are all chocoholics in my household so we tend to eat chocolate in all shapes + forms. I personally buy dark chocolate bars to divide it into small portions which I slip into snack baggies. I can get my chocolate fix yet feel that I’m practicing portion control.
Terri Welborn says
I love gifting chocolate. I either give it as full bars or with the bake goods I make.
Elle says
I melt different types of chocolate and make chocolate dipped pretzels, fruit and different kinds of nuts.

Jo says
These look fabulous. When I eat sweets, it usually involves something caramel in flavor. As for chocolate, if it’s not surrounding something caramelish, I am enjoying it more and more just straight up – sans sweetener. Amazing from someone who in my previous sugar-filled life used to crave Cosmic Brownies.
maria cantu says
I prefer mine straight.
KEVIN says
The cold, hard, dark truth is I love to serve and eat it an hour or two after a great meal with great friends and family, just that way……cold, hard and dark… right out of the fridge, broken into shards of “wake up, the nights not over yet” crumbled deliciousness! Oh yeaaah! 😉
Dawn says
Is there a wrong way to eat chocolate? Eating it straight – break off a piece, and let it melt in the mouth — ahh… heaven! YUM!
Mia says
I eat it straight with toasted nuts.
Stacey says
Oh yeah! With toasted nuts and coconut! Yum!
Bryan Pagni says
We love hot chocolate and chocolate muffins and at special occasions we set up the chocolate fountain.
Jennifer D says
I eat it straight! My mom makes peanut butter balls and I eat them!
Christine C says
I have found that over the holidays eating a small amount of plain chocolate is enough to help me feel like i’ve indulged and helps me avoid the higher carb choices that surround me when out and about.
Jae W says
I like to chop it into something i bake! Yum, or drizzle chocolate over the top.
Jodi says
I like to melt in my chocolate pumpkin chiffon pudding that I came across Elana’s Pantry. We drop the pudding into mini pie tarts as the perfect bite size dessert.
Lynda says
I find chopping chocolate to be therapeutic, for some reason. I would at the chopped chocolate to your delicious pecan pie muffins.
Leslie S says
Love to dip a little dark chocolate in peanut butter. Always a good combo & instant treat.
Judy says
It is always a Holiday tradition to have Mexican Hot Chocolate or Champurrado. I can’t wait to try the 85% Green and Blacks Dark chocolate in the recipe. I have been looking for a dark chocolate that I don’t have to add oils for it to melt smoothly. Happy Holidays!
Becca F says
I love dipping treats in chocolate but I do end up eating most of it before It gets melted for dipping
Frenchie in the Beautiful Bluegrass says
Oh my, yes! Dark chocolate. I can eat milk chocolate to be polite but one of the pleasures of dark is that edge of bitterness. It never palls! Bliss when one discovers a dark chocolate with velvety meltability.
Ecstasy in the mouth! If you don’t like dark chocolate, that’s okay. More for me!
Laura Samuelson says
I love Green & Black dark chocolate as my go to treat after meals. It’s so creamy and I love that it is fair trade. It is also a treat that I don’t have to share because my kids don’t care for dark chocolate!
Lillian says
Very nice website and delicious recipes.
Thank you, Carolyn.
To your good health,
Lillian
Connie says
These truffles are da bomb!!! So awesome! Made them for a holiday dinner with friends who are now asking for the recipe link. 🙂 And I need to go hide the last few from the hubby so I have some left! Thanks for the amazing recipes. Especially the ones with chocolate!
Stephanie lee says
I really want to try this chocolate and this recipe. My great grandmother use to make chocolate gravy she use to put it on ham and biscuits. But these days I mainly put it on biscuits with a tad bit of coconut oil or a lil slice of butter. So glad to keep chocolate recipes in the family!
Cynthia C says

I have two favorites. I make very simple buckwheat muffins that I keep on hand for an easy ready to eat item. To make dessert like I like to make a sort of dark chocolate thin ganache. I dip the top of my muffin in and my muffin turns (almost) cupcake like.
Next up is, of course, a dark chocolate hot chocolate!
Carolsue says
I use it to make brownies, fudge, cookies, etc. Just about anything that I can think of with chocolate gets made!
Tebazilena says
I prefer chocolate dark, spicy and soft (melted in the wrapper on the dashboard so I have to lick it off makes me happy). My favorite desserts are truffles, fudge & brownies (always spicy if I’m making it just for me!). A favorite candy bar I make has nuts, sea salt, cayenne, curry, & cinnamon. Once in a while, to switch things up, I add toasted coconut, ginger chunks, orange peel or coffee.
Gina M says
I love to add it into cookies however I can!

I usually eat 85% chocolate all by itself but every now and then, I like it drizzled over popcorn. Love that salty sweet combination.
Sarah says
I use chocolate around the holidays to make healthy treats to enjoy and not feel deprived! 🙂

Dip a peanut butter cookie in chocolate! I also just like to put a piece of chocolate in my mouth and just let it melt. (Ok, my mouth is watering now, have to find a piece of chocolate).
Kelly R. says
I love to melt in down & pour over walnuts or pecans. Sometimes I add peppermint extract & macadamias.

I love dark chocolate just like it is with a nice hot cup of Bustelo with heavy cream. Puts a smile on my face.
When my son was 3 or 4 years old, after a long day he’d say, “I need some chocowit or sumpin’!” I usually agreed…

I love incorporating chocolate all kinds of ways during the holiday- by cooking with it (melted or in cake or cookie mixes), by buying it to eat just by itself or buying it to give as gifts- chocolate covered nuts or regular boxed chocolate! I can’t imagine life without chocolate !

My husband and I like to eat a square of Green and Black chocolate with coconut oil spread on top after dinner. I like a sprinkle of Himalayan salt on top of mine. I don’t have a lot of time to make things and this is a wonderful quick dessert that hits the spot!
beth says
My favorite thing to make is chocolate covered dog bones. The white chocolate dogs can have and they LOVE it!!
MJ says
I dip salted caramel rice cereal treats in dark chocolate and sprinkle with sea salt. I also make a chocolate chip cookie with grated dark chocolate instead of chips and sprinkle with sea salt.
Roxann Browne says
I love to “eat” my chocolate by stirring in my cup of hot coffee, with half & half and some stevia. So delicious. Love!
J Miller says
I love me some chocolate. Not much I would not be willing to try it it had chocolate attached to it.
Claudia says
Can you make these ahead and freeze them?
Carolyn says
You can freeze them before they are dipped in chocolate.
Marcy says

I suppose so but your caramel sauce may re-crystallize so you may experience some grittiness in the truffles.
