Special Notes:
If you’re chocolate lover, this keto dessert is the best for you. If you are more of a chocolate fan, you can use the crust recipe above OR you can also switch it up for a coconut flour crust.
To make a coconut flour crust, simply add 2 eggs, 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 10–15 drops liquid stevia and 1/4 tsp salt to food processor and blend for about a minute. Add in 1 cup of coconut flour and blend again for 30 seconds. Lastly add 1/2 cup cold butter and blend until well incorporated. Press into pie pan and bake for 10–15 minutes.
If you are using a smaller pie pan, keep the crust ingredients amount the same, but simply divide the filling ingredients in half and it will be a perfect fit.
The silk pie is best stored in the refrigerator and should last for about 3–4 days. If you don’t have a food processor, you can simply use an electric mixer. You can also make this recipe dairy-free by using the dairy alternatives listed in the recipe ingredients. You can also swap butter for ghee which is more well tolerated by people who do poorly with dairy products.
Dr Jockers Comments
This French chocolate keto silk pie is a beautiful and tasty recipe that is great for birthday parties and other special occasions. It is low-carb and full of healthy fats and fat-burning ingredients you will love!
Minimally processed dark chocolate or cacao is rich in polyphenols which are antioxidants that reduce inflammation and support gut health, mitochondrial health and anti-aging. We recommend looking for organic, pasture-raised dairy products which are rich in healthy fats and fat soluble nutrients such as vitamin A, D, E and K2.
If you do poorly with dairy protein, we have dairy-free alternatives made out of coconut milk and other ingredients in the links in the recipe ingredients section. While this recipe is easiest to make by using Swerve, I personally do better without the sugar alcohols and do best by using stevia in this recipe.

Would this be just as good with cacao powder? Be honest cause I don’t want to mess this up.
Yes try that out and let us know how it comes out!
I cannot use almond flour in any dessert. I have a history of oxalate stones and almond flour is an oxalate. Any suggestions for a substitute ?
You can use coconut flour and then you will need more eggs as the coconut flour is more drying.
