Keto Sugar Free Strawberry Pie
{THM:S, Keto, Low Carb}
***Update 6/26/2023: Exciting news! We now have a ketogenic, sugar free STRAWBERRY JELLO option available, and I'm so excited because we don't have to make our own strawberry gelatin or use sugar free jello brand (with unhealthy sweeteners! I've updated the recipe and pictures to reflect this change. So exciting!
I love eating Keto (98% of the time, because there are about 4 special days a year when I eat carbs…gasp!)
But if there is still one thing I crave, it’s fresh fruit, so I’m finding ways to still incorporate some low-carb fruits into my diet.
In fact, it’s that berry, fruity taste that I really crave every now and then – hence my Sunshine Lime GoodGirl Moonshine, Tropical Punch Good Girl Moonshine, and of course my Keto Gummies (coming soon!).

One of my best memories of food as a child were church potlucks. Not only was there a huge quantity of food, there were some excellent cooks in my church growing up, and the variety allowed me to try some foods that I wouldn’t normally. My family was pretty conservative food-wise (although it was good!)
So when I think about summer, my mind immediately goes to a church potluck when I tried fresh strawberry pie for the first time. The fresh strawberry flavor combined with the jello that was sweet, but not too sweet, and of course the cool and creamy whipped cream was a flavor combination I immediately fell in love with!
I still love many of those dishes that I first tried at church potlucks, but I’ve been converting them to Keto recipes (or low carb recipes in this case, since it’s technically outside of Keto Macros).
It comes out to 5 net carbs per serving, which is about twice what I would normally allow in a Keto dessert. However, when I’m craving fruit, or have a special occasion, a few extra carbs is not going to be the difference between succeeding on Keto and failing.
Plus, fresh berries are a great source of nutrients and taste SO fresh. For full nutrition information, scroll down below the recipe card
So don’t sweat the small stuff
And Keto Strawberry Pie is also easy for you to make. Here’s what you’ll need:
For The Crust:
Almond Flour
Coconut Flour
Melted Butter
Water
Lakanto
Vanilla
Ingredients for Strawberry Pie Filling:
Strawberries, sliced
Lakanto Classic
Sugar Free Keto Strawberry Jello (or alternate, see below) Simply Delish gelatin is a wonderful keto jello!
Water
Xanthan Gum
Low Carb Whipped Cream (uses heavy whipping cream)
How To Make Keto Strawberry Pie
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix all of the pie crust ingredients in a bowl until combined. Press into your pie pan. (If you don't have a mixer, you can absolutely use a food processor to mix up the crust ingredients.)
Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes until the edges just start to turn golden brown. Take out of the oven and let cool completely before mixing up the filling.
To make the strawberry filling:
combine the water, Lakanto, and xathan gum in a medium saucepan, whisking well until the xanthan gum and Lakanto are dissolved in the water.
Heat the mixture over medium heat until it comes to a boil and turns clear.
Remove from the heat, then add the Simply Delish sugar free jello mix (or alternate I listed above). Stir well until dissolved.
Put the sliced strawberries into the prepared crust, then pour the slightly cooled strawberry mixture over it. Set in the refrigerator to chill for 4 hours, or overnight. Top with low carb whipped cream (or simple Keto Ice Cream!) and serve!
(To Make Keto Whipped Cream: Add heavy cream, a bit of vanilla, and keto sweetener in a bowl and whip until stiff peaks form)
For those of you who don’t like/can’t have sugar free jello – I totally understand.
But it’s easy, which is why I created the original recipe with it – and I definitely don’t eat a whole pie myself!
As an alternative to the Sugar Free Jello, you can use Great Lakes Gelatin combined with Strawberry Extract and a bit more Lakanto Classic Sweetener.
I no longer use regular store brand gelatin, and instead use quality gelatin that I know has been sourced from grass-fed beef:
Great Lakes Gelatin – one of the most commonly found grass-fed gelatins. The beef is sourced from pasture-fed cows in Argentina and Brazil. Also a great price point.
Vital Proteins – Pasture fed beef from Brazil, comes in a really nice container and easily found on Amazon and Thrive Market.
Instead of the Sugar Free Jello use:
2 T gelatin (or 3 packets store-bought gelatin)
3/4 cup Lakanto (instead of the ½ cup in the recipe)
1 tsp Strawberry Extract
Directions:
Soften the gelatin by soaking in the cold water for a few minutes in a large bowl.
Add the boiling water and stir until gelatin is dissolved.
Add the remaining ingredients, stirring until thoroughly blended.
Then, add the fresh strawberries, pour mixture into prepared crust ,and refrigerate 4 hours or overnight. Top with fresh low carb whipped cream and enjoy!

Keto Sugar Free Strawberry Pie FAQ's
Can I add cream cheese to the base of the keto strawberry pie?
Yes! Combine softened cream cheese with your favorite keto sweetener to taste. (My favorite keto sweeteners are Lakanto and Allulose, found in my store). Spread the prepared cream cheese into the keto graham cracker crust.
Can I make this in a 9×9 baking dish instead of a pie dish?
Yes! While making this sugar-free strawberry pie in a pie pan is beautiful, using a square baking dish makes for beautiful squares of strawberry pie.
Can I Use Pre-Made Pie Crust?
I'm not aware of any pre-made low carb or keto pie shell that can be bought. However, if your local grocery store carries one, definitely use it for the strawberry pie recipe.
Can I use sugar free cool whip?
I'm not usually a fan of sugar free cool whip because they use sweeteners with undesirable side effects. But, as with most foods, it is your choice.
How Many Net Carbs in Strawberry Jello Pie?
The full daily values can be found below the recipe card, but this easy has 5g net carbs per serving.
Trina says
I don’t wish to use sugar free jello so I’m thrilled there is an alternative! The directions say to soak the gelatin in the water for a few minutes to soften it. Which water is this referring to and how much? The only water listed is one cup and that’s the water to be boiled, correct? I’d appreciate some clarification here. Thank you! My garden is giving me LOTS of berries right now!
Kelly Charbula says
Thanks for the recipe and the alternative to JELLO brand gelatin. I have a lot of gelatin from THM and am always looking for an option to use it. Is the strawberry extract necessary? I do t have any.
