Update: This post was originally published in 2015 using sugar free Jello chocolate pudding as that was all that was available at the time. This recipe now uses keto-friendly chocolate pudding from Simply Delish which contains NO ASPARTAME. If you prefer to use the Jello, you can find the details after the recipe card.
I'm going to start off by listing the amazing features of this pie:
- It only needs five ingredients
- It only needs fifteen minutes of preparation time*
- Chocolate + hazelnut - HELLO?!? Nutella pie, anyone?!?
- No cooking or baking involved
- Aspartame free - Simply Delish is sweetened with erythritol and stevia
- No artificial colors or flavors
*There is also some waiting time while the pie is in the fridge, but that doesn't count as actual work!
How to Make Low Carb Chocolate and Hazelnut Pie
To make the crust, mix together some hazelnut meal, low carb sweetener (I used classic Lakanto), and melted butter.
Press it into a 9" non-stick (or foil) pie plate, pushing the mixture up the sides to form the crust. Place it in the fridge to harden.
For the filling, empty a packet of Simply Delish chocolate pudding into a bowl. Simply Delish is an all-natural keto-friendly alternative to regular gelatin-based desserts. It has a fantastic rich flavor and just the right amount of sweetness.
Add some unsweetened almond milk and whisk until smooth. I use an electric hand mixer to make sure I can get it as smooth as possible!
Pour the filling into the chilled crust. Return to the fridge for at least three hours or overnight.
Just before serving, sprinkle with unsweetened cocoa powder and/or powdered sweetener.
Cut into six slices and serve! The gooey chocolate pudding filling goes so well with the hazelnut crust!

Could I use heavy cream instead of all other liquid?

It would make it higher in fat but it would probably still taste fine. If you try it, please let me know how it goes!
