Sugar Free Pecan Pie Recipe

Sugar Free Pecan Pie Recipe

INGREDIENTS

1

Pillsbury Refrigerated Pie Crust (from a 15-ounce box)

2/3

cup sugar free breakfast syrup

1

tablespoon cornstarch

3

large eggs

2/3

cup sugar free caramel ice cream topping (as thick as you can find, from a jar not a squeeze bottle)

1

teaspoon vanilla

1/3

cup butter, melted

1 1/2

cups pecan halves

DIRECTIONS

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Unroll pie crust and fit it to a 9-inch glass pie pan. Roll edges over once and flute. Set aside.
• Mix 2 tablespoons of the syrup with the cornstarch and stir until completely smooth and no lumps remain. Add eggs to the bowl of a stand mixer and mix. Add the syrup-cornstarch mixture to the eggs, along with the remaining syrup, caramel, and vanilla. While continuing to mix on low speed, slowly add melted butter. Beat on low for 2 minutes until mixture is smooth and slightly bubbly. Remove bowl from mixer and stir pecan halves in by hand.
• Pour mixture into pie crust and bake for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, cover edges with foil and continue to bake another 10 to 15 minutes, until pie is set. Remove from oven and cool completely, then refrigerate 2 hours before cutting and serving.

Sugar Free Chocolate Coconut Balls

Sugar Free Chocolate Coconut Balls

1/2 cup 100% nut butter

1 cup mixed unsalted nuts finely chopped 

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa or cacao 

1/2 cup shredded coconut (plus extra for rolling)

5 Tbsp coconut oil at room temperature

1/2 tsp vanilla essence (or peppermint flavour)

1 tsp cinnamon

(optional adding flaxmeal or chia)

Combine everything in a bowl and mix squishing the coconut oil with a spoon to help blend and melt it slightly so it mixes in evening.   Either roll in balls and into the extra coconut or spoon onto grease proof tray and sprinkle with coconut.  Place in the fridge to harden.  Store in the fridge or freezer. Why not add some blueberries (fresh or frozen) or raspberries  spread the mixture out onto a tray and refrigerate until hard then cut up, you have a healthy kinda cherry ripe thing (cherries aren’t suitable on the low fodmap diet so this is the next best thing).
