    A keto strawberry pie that is vegan! This pie has an almond flour and coconut oil crust filled with with strawberries and a vegan jelly. What would summer be without strawberry pie?

    The crust is delicious and tastes great with the sweet strawberries in a keto vegan friendly jello mixture. You don't have to be on a low carb diet to enjoy this summer dessert. Or vegan either!

    CAN YOU EAT STRAWBERRIES ON KETO?

    Strawberries are a great low carb fruit with a 100 gram serving being just over 5g net carbs. A single medium strawberry can be 0.6 grams each. As with all berries and low carb fruit, portion control is key.

    Strawberries are low in calories, high in fiber and a great source of vitamin C and antioxidants.

    Enjoy a simple low carb strawberry dessert and serve them with a bowl of cream.

    WHAT INGREDIENTS YOU NEED

    We have made this keto strawberry pie vegan by using a flax egg and coconut oil to bind the almond flour.

    Many strawberry pies use jelly as a filling but since that contains gelatin is not suitable for either vegans or vegetarians. We have used Agar Agar as a gelling agent.

    strawberry pie ingredients

    For the sweetener we used allulose as it dissolves well in water. Any other low carb sweetener such as monk fruit or erythritol can be used.

    WHAT IS AGAR AGAR?

    Agar agar is a keto-friendly plant based jelling agent produced from red algae and is available in powdered or flake form. It's used similar to gelatin in that it needs to be dissolved in hot liquid and will set. It might have less jiggle than jelly but is animal free.

    HOW TO MAKE A FLAX EGG

    This crust is vegan and to bind the flour together without an egg or butter we have used coconut oil and a flax egg. To make a flax egg, a tablespoon or two of ground flaxseed is dissolved in a couple of tablespoons of water and let sit for at least 5 minutes to firm up.

    HOW TO MAKE KETO STRAWBERRY PIE

    This is an easy recipe to make but needs to be made at least 4 hours before serving so that the filling can set. The crust needs to be made first and as it's cooling you make the strawberry filling.

    HOW TO MAKE THE VEGAN PIE CRUST

    almond flour pastry

    Place all ingredients in a food processor

    pastry processed in food processor

    Blend until mixed

    pastry case in dish

    Press the pastry into a pie dish, keeping it firm.

    baked pie crust

    Bake for 15 minutes until the edges are golden.

    MAKE THE STRAWBERRY FILLING

    Fresh strawberries make a great pie filling and the agar agar sets great with no taste, allowing the fruit to be the star of the pie.

    blender with strawberries

    Place half the strawberries into a blender and blitz until smooth

    Make the Agar Agar as per the packet instructions.

    puree to agar mixture

    Add the strawberry puree to the agar mixture and whisk.

    filling into strawberry pie

    Place half the strawberries into the pie case and pour the strawberry jelly over them.

    VARATIONS

    This low carb vegan pie does not have to be made with strawberries. The pie crust recipe can be used for any other low carb dessert too. Try a few variations for the filling using the agar agar as a setting agent:

    • Blueberries or blackberries.
    • Lemon or lime juice
    • Sliced star fruit

    STORAGE

    Keep this strawberry pie in the fridge, covered with cling film and it should last up to 3 days. Maybe 4 days but ours have never lasted longer than that. (The husband loves his desserts!)

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

    Can I use another low carb flour?

    Coconut flour could be substituted for the almond flour for a keto pie crust but the volume should be reduced to about ¾ cup. We would advise adding water too until you have a pliable dough.

    Where can I purchase Agar Agar?

    Large supermarkets may stock this, or health food shops.

    My pie filling has not set

    Before pouring the strawberry mixture into the pie crust, test it by taking a spoonful of the mixture and allow it to rapidly set on a cool surface. If the mixture does not set for a few minutes, add more agar agar power or flakes and simmer for a few more minutes.

    Ingredients
     
     

    Pie Crust

    • 2 cup almond flour
    • 1 tablespoon flax egg
    • 3 tablespoons allulose or other low carb sweetener
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • ¼ cup coconut oil
    • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

    Strawberry Filling

    • 3 cups strawberries
    • 3 tablespoons agar agar powder or flakes
    • 3 tablespoons allulose or other low carb sweetener
    • 1 ¼ cups water

    Instructions
     

    Make the Pie Crust

    • Preheat the oven to 180C/350F degrees. Lightly oil a 7 inch pie dish (you could use a 8 inch dish)
    • Place all the pie ingredients into a food processor and pulse until combined.
    • Spoon the mixture into the pie dish and press down to form a crust.
    • Bake for 15 minutes until the edges are golden and slightly firm.
    • Set aside to cool whilst you make the filling.

    Strawberry Filling

    • Slice the tops off the strawberries and place half into a food blender and puree until smooth.
    • Pour the water into a small saucepan and sprinkle the agar agar on top. Bring to the boil then simmer for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until it has dissolved.
    • Add the strawberry puree into the mixture and stir until combined.
    • Place the remaining half of the strawberries into the pie crust. Either whole, halved or sliced.
    • Pour the strawberry jelly mixture over the strawberries in the pie crust and place in the fridge for at least 4 hours to set.
    • Serve with whipped coconut cream.

    Notes

    We used a 7 inch pie dish but you could use a 8 inch dish. The pie crust will be thinner.
    The net carbs will be the total carb count minus the fibre count. Carb count excludes sugar alcohols.
