  2. Hi, quick question. Where is the 1gm of sugar coming from for this Pecan Pie recipe? Since this Keto and I am cutting all sugar out of my diet, I need to understand what ingredient(s) has the sugar. The recipe looks great and I would like to try it. Thanks in advance for your response.

    • Hi Jay,

      The “sugar” in the nutritional information comes from the lactose in the heavy cream – not from actual sugar. I hope this helps.

How many carbs are in a keto pecan pie? ›

How many pecans a day on keto? ›

Light and dark corn syrup can be used interchangeably in almost every instance, with slight flavor variances.

Dark corn syrup, in addition to sweetness, will add color and a more robust, toasty flavor.

Why is my homemade pecan pie runny? ›

A pecan pie is essentially a custard pie, and a liquid center is almost always the result of underbaking. The Karo Classic Pecan Pie recipe calls for baking the pie for 60 to 70 minutes at 350 degrees. In some ovens, however, the pie can take 75 minutes or more.

Can you rebake a pecan pie that is undercooked? ›

Can I leave my pecan pie out overnight? ›

You can only keep it at room temperature for two hours. Since pecan pies contain eggs, they have more chances to get bad and make you sick.
