Strawberry Jello Cream Pie [Low Carb & Keto]

This recipe for low carb and Keto strawberry Jello cream pie is the perfect summertime dessert.  And each slice has just 4g net carbs.

“Give in! Give in! Give in to the taste!” -1980’s Sugar-Free Jello commercial

Today I’m going to share a recipe for low carb Keto strawberry Jello cream pie, but first I want to show you something funny. It’s gif made from a 1980’s Sugar-Free Jello commercial. This was back when Sugar Free Jello started using this brand new sweetener called NutraSweet. This lead to a renewed interest in Jello, and apparently, some extremely happy aerobic dancers.

But you have to admit, the old Jello commercials make some good points.

Jello really is one of the easiest desserts you can make. And luckily for us, Sugar-Free Jello has just 5 calories and zero carbs per serving, so it’s low carb and Keto compliant to boot.

This recipe is based on a classic easy Jello Pie that uses a pre-made graham cracker crust and a mixture of Jello and Cool Whip.

But when you are doing low carb, almost nothing is this simple. Both Cool Whip and ready-made crusts are full of sugar and therefore off limits. So for this low carb Jello cream pie, I used a great faux graham cracker crust from the gnom-gnom blog. You’ll make the low carb graham cracker crust, and then fill it with a mixture of Jello, cream cheese, heavy whipping cream and sugar-free sweetener. Soon you’ll have a slice of low carb strawberry Jello cream pie with only 4g net carbs.

So just give in, give in, give in to the taste!

5.  Press the graham cracker crust into the bottom and up the sides of the pie pan.

6.  Bake for 15-18 minutes until browned around the edges.

Notes

*If you take this pie to a party, make sure to clearly mark that it contains nuts.  Most people don’t expect a pie to use almond flour, so people with nut allergies might inadvertently eat it.
