This pie is a dream for someone who is sugar-free. I haven’t had an on plan chocolate pie, ever. My family and I have a hard time with the textures of low carb desserts and the sweeteners with their cooling affects.

Your Go-To Low-Carb Chocolate Pie for Special Occasions

Let’s be clear: while this pie is incredibly delicious and sugar-free, it’s a rich, satisfying “S” fuel on the Trim Healthy Mama plan. Unless you’re in a weight-loss phase where you need to be extra mindful of fats, this isn’t an everyday treat. But for holidays, celebrations, or when you want to truly “wow” your guests, this chocolate silk pie is absolutely perfect.

If you’ve been missing that classic, creamy, intensely chocolatey chocolate silk pie, prepare to be amazed. I’ve meticulously adapted my popular low-carb chocolate mousse recipe to create a pie filling that is so close to the original, you’ll swear it’s the “bad for you” kind. It’s mousse-like, incredibly creamy, and utterly decadent.

Secrets to a Silky Smooth, Stunning Low-Carb Pie

Achieving that perfect, luscious texture in sugar-free desserts often comes down to a few key techniques. Here are my top tips for making this chocolate silk pie truly shine:

Room Temperature Ingredients are Non-Negotiable: This is probably the most crucial tip! Ensure your cream cheese and butter are at true room temperature. This ensures they blend smoothly and completely with the cocoa powder and sweetener, preventing any lumps in your luscious pie filling. Plan ahead and take them out of the fridge a few hours before you start.

Xanthan Gum for Stability: I’ve found that adding a touch of xanthan gum to the whipped cream, both in the filling and for the topping, works wonders for stabilization. It helps the whipped cream hold its structure beautifully, giving you that perfect, pipeable consistency.

Optional Garnishes for a “Wow” Factor: While the pie itself is stunning, a little extra effort with the topping can elevate it. I grated a Trim Healthy Mama chocolate bar for simple elegance, but feel free to use any sugar-free chocolate shavings, curls, or even a dusting of extra cocoa powder. If you’re a skilled decorator, this is your canvas!

Quick Assembly (with a little prep): Despite its impressive appearance, this pie can be assembled in about 30 minutes (after your crust is baked and cooled), especially if your cream cheese and butter are already softened. Don’t let the elegance intimidate you!

1 t Vanilla
12 oz Cream Cheese, room temp

Instructions

Mix almond flour, coconut flour, salt, sweetener and baking powder together.
Add butter, vanilla and beaten egg.
Mix until combined.
Roll out between two pieces of plastic wrap.
In a grease pie pan, place your pie crust, carefully. Trim the edges to fit and fix any tears. Poke holes in the bottom and sides. Bake in a 350 degree preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until done. If edges get too brown, cover with the edges with foil.
When cooked, remove from oven and let cool.
In a mixer beat your heavy cream until it starts to thicken. Add 1 teaspoon of xanthan gum, 2 teaspoons of vanilla, and 3/4 cup of powdered sweetener.
When thick, like whipped cream, remove to a small to medium bowl.
Add cream cheese, cocoa powder, and butter to the bowl. And beat until combined and no lumps remain.
Add the cream mixture back to the mixing bowl. Mix until combined. Taste and add more sweetener if desired.
Carefully into your baked and cooled pie shell. Smooth the top.
In a clean mixing bowl add the 3/4 cup of heavy cream and beat until thickened. Add xanthan gum, vanilla, and sweetener. Beat until thickened and pipeable. Top with shredded chocolate.
You can eat this right away. Store in the fridge.
