Sugar Free Low Carb Keto Grasshopper Pie (Nut Free) (2024)

This decadent, creamy Keto Grasshopper Mousse Pie is a nobake dessertmade sugar free, low carb, gluten free, keto and nut free as well! Just 3 gnet carbsper serving!

A Grasshopper is a sweet, mint flavored after dinner drink with itsgreen colorcoming fromcreme de menthe.

It was created in 1918 in the French Quarter of Louisiana. While this something I have never drank or want to drink, thegreen colorand themint flavorwork perfectly for celebratingSt. Patrick's Daywith a family or even Easter with the fun, lightgreen color!

Thesecret ingredientfor this lovelyspecial treatfor St.Patrick's day, is using a small amount of avocado to achieve that naturalgreen color. You won't notice any flavor of avocado because thepeppermint extractand peppermint stevia will overcome that avocado taste.

St. Patrick's Daywas never a holiday we'd celebrate when I was growing up, in my Italian household. My mom never made green food and I never ateCorned Beef and Cabbageuntil I met my husband and married. But I must be honest, I love all the traditional holiday menu items and enjoy carrying on traditions for my kids!

My children see and hear about all things green during this time of year so I feel obligated as a momma to provide them some of these traditional favorites during this time of year.

Carbs in Grasshopper Pie

According to Cronometer, the app I use daily for myketo diet, says that one piece of a 9 inch pie withchocolate crusthas 47.3 g total carbs and 432 calories.

That amount of carbs is too high if you're on aketo diet. It may work for those on a low carb diet, but if you're watching your sugar intake because you're diabetic or have sugar cravings, this pie has 32 grams of sugar.

Traditional Chocolate Cookie Crust

You can use anypie crustyou like. The nutrition info includes my own no bake crust recipe and I think chocolate is the favorite for this type of pie.

But I've got others if you're not into the no bakechocolate crust.

All my crusts are nut free since my youngest has a tree nut allergy.

This is a baked Chocolatepie crust,or try my Easy Keto Pie Crust or the crust from thisNo Bake frozen Strawberry Pie.

Can I change the peppermint stevia?

If you don't have peppermint stevia it's not the end of the world but it adds an extra punch to thatmint flavor. You can use any sweetener you enjoy, I would say just ½ cup.

Since this is a nobake pie, you can truly use anylow carb sweeteneryou like and taste as you go along. I would not recommend anylow carb sweetenerthat is granulated for this creamy mousse pie.

For example lowcarb erythritol, because this is a nobake pieand therefore the granulated sweetener will not incorporate well into thepie filling. It would leave you with a grainy texture in my experience andhumble opinion. I'd recommend a low carb powdered sweetener or just use liquid sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit.

Here's my UltimateLow Carb SweetenerGuide to help you decide how much of anothersugar substituteto use instead of the ones I used in thewhole pie.

Can I replace avocado?

If you have an allergy to avocado and can't use it, replace it with morecream cheesein the same amount and then use somenatural food coloringto achieve the lightgreen color.

Can I make this aPaleo Grasshopper Pie?

If you want to make this grasshopper pie dairy free you will need to replace thecream cheesewith a vegancream cheeseand replace theheavy creamwith cannedcoconut milkorcoconut cream, just the white part of the can, which is nice and thick.

​Can I use fresh mint leaves?

If you want to usereal mintleaves instead of mint extract, you could do that. I'd recommend processing it with a small amount of water in a blender to make more of a puree that can easily be mixed in with thecream cheeseandheavy whipping cream.
