Keto Pie and Quiche Crust
Following a Keto lifestyle doesn’t mean missing out on classic comfort foods. This is why we share with you the best Keto recipes, including this Keto pie pastry recipe. It is very versatile and can be customized to many sweet or savory pie recipes. This recipe requires just a handful of ingredients, is easy to prepare, and tastes very similar to non-Keto pie crust.
What Keto recipes can you make with this Keto pastry?
This low-carb crust can be used in various savory recipes, including quiche, meat pie, chicken pot pie, and many more. You can also use it for sweet recipes by adjusting the dough slightly. This pastry dough is perfect for preparing Keto-friendly sweet pies and tarts.
Is this recipe gluten-free?
Yes, it is! Regular pie dough is made with wheat flour, which contains gluten. This Keto meat pie pastry recipe, however, uses coconut flour which is gluten-free, nut-free, and naturally low in carbs. Just to stay safe, it’s better to read the label of the coconut flour you’re using.
Can you make a sweet version of the Keto pastry dough?
Yes, you can. Just add ¼ - ½ cup of powdered sweetener to the wet mixture before adding the coconut flour. Make sure to whisk well until the sweetener dissolves.
Do you have to sift the coconut flour?
Coconut flour often forms lumps, especially if it’s stored in a humid environment. Sifting it ensures an even dough without flour lumps.
Do you have to pre-bake this Keto pie pastry?
It is much safer to pre-bake this crust, especially if your filling contains a lot of liquid. We recommend pre-baking if you’re making this Keto pastry for quiche. Since the base of the filling is raw eggs, the crust might get soggy if you bake it with an uncooked pie crust.

Step 1
To a large bowl, add the butter and microwave it until it melts. Add the eggs and salt. Whisk until combined.Step 2
Sift in the coconut flour over the wet ingredients. Mix using a spatula until a dough forms. If it’s too sticky, add a little more flour.Step 3
Preheat your oven to 200 C/ 400 F. Form the dough into a ball and wrap it with cling film. Transfer it to the freezer for 15 minutes.Step 4
Take the dough out of the freezer and unwrap it. Place it on a piece of parchment paper and roll it out using a rolling pin. Stop when it’s 1/8 inch thick, or 3 mm.Step 5
Turn the rolled dough onto a 9-inch / 22 cm pie pan or dish. Fit it into the pan/dish and cut off the overhangs. Prick the bottom with a fork.Step 6
Bake for 10 minutes or until the dough is almost cooked. If the edges start browning quickly, cover the pan/dish with aluminum foil. Take the pie crust out of the oven and store it for later. Or add the filling and continue baking it.

Useless as a pie crust, unfortunately. Following the directions exactly - or- making adjustments, too crumbly to roll or do anything with except press into the pie dish.

I also dusted with coconut flour before rolling and it did well. I will half the recipe yet again to have more dough to make a thicker crust.

Hmm? Wonder what the photos are from? Too bad. Wish I could post my pix. You have to use a light weight rolling pin or it will not work. With a marble rolling pin it just crumbles. When I transferred to a pan it did crack but was easily mended. However, during baking it did split! Maybe making it thicker than 1/8" would help? I used a tart pan with removable bottom which was immense help with serving. Tastes great! Pleasant texture. But it is not the easiest nor a quick recipe to make. Sad. Making a Tomato & cheese pie today, a season specialty. Will post how it turns out.
