Recipe for Crustless Gluten-Free Pecan and Chocolate Pie

Jump to recipe

This is the easiest pecan pie I have ever made.  After reading Shirley’s Easy Crustless Gluten-Free Peacan Pie I thought I had to give it a try.   I wanted something sweet for my sweetheart but fast and easy for me to make.  I don’t think you have to try and equal the amount of time you spend in the kitchen to how much you love someone.  Just making something scrumptious to eat says I love you.

Thank you Shirley for all the great recipes you create on gluten free easily and showing us how it really can be easy to live gluten free.

There were a few ingredients I either didn’t have or don’t eat from Shirley’s recipe, so I made substitutes and this is what I came up with.  Now some of the changes I made probably made it a little different but everyone who ate the pie loved it.  So, it’s a keeper.  I think the next time I make this I’m going to use either a few small pie tins so I can easily freeze the leftovers or use my muffin pan to make the serving sizes more manageable or I should say controllable.  One can really start digging into this pie with a spoon and the next thing you know you’ve eaten two servings worth, burned your mouth because you didn’t wait for it to cool and you’re running around trying to make it look like you didn’t eat as much.  But I’m sure that will never happen so never mind.

Sometimes when folks serve a Crustless Gluten-Free Pecan and Chocolate Pie they want to top it off with whipped cream.  Go right ahead.  I make a dairy free version from coconut milk.  If you want a little more chocolate you can just add a little cocoa powder right into your whipped cream and use that as your topping for this pie.

Now here is the good part.  Lets say it’s Valentines Day and you’ve made a wonderful dinner.  Before you sit down to eat pop this into the oven.  It will take a little while to cook and then cool but that will give you time for a nice, long, leisurely dinner and maybe a little walk afterwards.  Then you can have this wonderful pie waiting for you.

So what are you going to make for your Valentine?  Check out these gluten-free sites for some great inspiration:

Recipe for Crustless Gluten-Free Pecan and Chocolate Pie

Ingredients:

3/4 cup agave (you can leave this out or even sub coconut nectar or honey)

1 cup maple syrup

6 organic eggs whipped

2 TBS non-dairy butter melted (Earth Balance soy free)

2 tsp Mexican vanilla

2 1/2 cups organic pecans

1/4 cup chocolate chips (Enjoy Life GF,DF,SF)

Directions:

Pre-heat your oven to 325 degrees.  Mix all the liquid ingredients in a large bowl.  Add in the pecans and pour into a greased deep dish pie plate.  Bake for 50-60 minutes.

As soon as you remove from the oven sprinkle the top with the chocolate chips.  Feel free to add in more if you’re really in that chocolate mood.

Wait until the pie has cooled before digging in.  Trust me on this one.

Keep in mind this is not a low calorie dessert so serve accordingly.
