Keto French Silk Pie — No-Bake, Single-Serve Indulgence
Keto French Silk Pie for one is the no-fuss, ultra-chocolatey fix you didn’t know you needed — silky, rich, and totally doable in under 30 minutes with zero baking. If you’re into Low Carb Dessert vibes (guilt-free but fully decadent), this little pie packs insane flavor and healthy fats into a mini package.
Let’s dig in: I’ll walk you through why this works, what to buy, how to make it perfectly, genius tweaks, and smart storage tricks so your pie stays dreamy. Expect short paragraphs, bolded pro tips, a splash of sarcasm, and actual advice that won’t make you roll your eyes.
Why you’ll fall head over heels for this single-serve Silk Pie
- It’s silky: the avocado + coconut milk filling gives a velvet texture that imitates classic French silk—no tempering chocolate or whipping eggs required.
- It’s fast: assemble in about 20 minutes, chill 15–60 minutes, and you’re done.
- It hits keto macros: high-fat, low-carb, and tastes like a chocolate crime scene (in a good way).
- It’s flexible: swap sweeteners, change crusts, or add boozy flair.
Pro tip: Use a high-quality unsweetened cocoa or raw cacao — flavor is everything here. Dutch-processed will give darker, smoother chocolate notes; raw cacao lends a brighter, more fruity cocoa taste.
The story behind this pie (short and relatable)
This recipe grew out of dessert-for-one frustration. I wanted something rich, not enormous, and not full of junk carbs. Enter the avocado-silk hybrid — part mousse, part pie, all cozy. The “oreo” crust is basically a low-carb shortcut that gives you that satisfying crust-to-filling contrast without a baking marathon. You’re welcome.
Ingredients breakdown — what each part does
For the crust (the “keto oreo”):
- Almond flour: base texture and structure.
- Cocoa powder: chocolatey backbone.
- Powdered erythritol/allulose/xylitol: powdered sweetener binds better than granulated.
- Instant coffee (optional): intensifies chocolate flavor — tiny pinch = magic.
- Melted butter or coconut oil: binds and adds richness.
Why toast the almond flour? Browning it lightly develops nutty depth and cuts any raw flour taste. Don’t skip this step — trust me.
For the filling (silk mousse):
- Full-fat coconut milk: creamy base; use the solid part if you want a firmer set.
- Avocado: gives creaminess, healthy fats, and satiety.
- Cocoa or cacao: chocolate intensity — taste as you go.
- Powdered sweetener: powdered is key so the texture stays smooth.
- Vanilla, pinch of salt, optional instant coffee: flavor boosters.
Sweetener notes: Allulose and powdered erythritol work beautifully. Lakanto is popular (note: it can taste slightly cooling). Avoid stevia heavy blends for chocolate—they can bring a bitter aftertaste.

How to make the pie — step-by-step (no-bake, no drama)
- Make the crust: Toast almond flour in a dry skillet 2–4 minutes until fragrant. Mix with cocoa, powdered sweetener, coffee and salt. Stir in melted butter until it clumps like wet sand. Press into a small (about 4–4.5 inch) ramekin or pie tin. Chill to set.
Bold tip: Press firmly for a compact crust that won’t crumble when you cut into it. - Blend the filling: Combine avocado, coconut milk, cocoa, powdered sweetener, vanilla, a pinch of salt and optional instant coffee in a blender or food processor. Blend until velvet-smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness or cocoa. If it’s too thick, add a splash more coconut milk; too loose, add a tiny extra avocado or more powdered sweetener.
Pro tip: Use an immersion blender if you want fewer dishes. - Assemble: Spoon the filling onto the chilled crust and smooth the top. Chill in the fridge until set — 15 minutes in the freezer will firm it fast, or 1 hour in the refrigerator for a gentler set.
- Garnish (optional but fun): Crown with whipped cream (sugar-free or real), shaved dark chocolate, or a dusting of cocoa. Serve cold and savor slowly.
Quick science: why this texture works
Avocado provides a fatty, smooth matrix that traps air when blended, creating a mousse-like silk. Coconut milk (the thicker, full-fat kind) stabilizes the structure and keeps it from tasting “green.” Powdered sweeteners dissolve instantly and avoid grainy mouths.
Variations to try (because variety = joy)
- Boozy Silk: Add 1 teaspoon of coffee liqueur or rum to the filling. Risk: you might make two.
- Nutella-ish: Stir in a tablespoon of almond butter for extra nuttiness.
- Citrus kick: Add a pinch of orange zest to the filling — chocolate + orange = classic win.
- Firmer cheesecake style: Use the solid coconut cream only and chill overnight.
- No-avocado swap: Use 60–80 g of softened cream cheese instead (not paleo) for a cheesecake-like silk.
- Berries on top: A few fresh raspberries cut the richness nicely.
Also, for folks chasing other keto pie vibes, this basic approach converts into a Keto Chocolate Mousse Pie Recipe (just omit crust for parfaits) or be adapted into a Keto Chocolate Chess Pie–style custard by changing the thickener and sweetener ratios.
Serving suggestions — make it feel fancy
- Serve with a dollop of unsweetened whipped cream and a single raspberry.
- Plate with a biscotti or low-carb cookie for crunch.
- For a dinner party, make mini pies in small jars — cute and practical.
- Want a Chef’s Touch? Torch a light sugared top (use superfine erythritol mixture) for a brûlée crack—unusual, but cool.
FYI: Eating this out of a small glass or ramekin feels luxurious and keeps portion in check.

Storage & leftovers — how to keep it fresh
- Fridge: Store covered for up to 3 days. Avocado oxidizes slowly; a thin layer of plastic wrap directly on the surface helps prevent browning.
- Freezer: You can freeze the filling (no crust) for up to 1 month; thaw in fridge overnight. Texture may soften slightly after freezing.
- Make ahead: Crust and filling can be prepared separately and assembled the day you want to serve.
Important: If you use xylitol as sweetener, keep this treat away from dogs. Xylitol is toxic to pets.
Pro tips for perfect results every time
- Toast the almond flour. Seriously, do it. It deepens the flavor.
- Use powdered sweetener. Granular sweeteners can leave grit.
- Taste and tweak. Always taste the filling before chilling—add a smidge more sweetener, cocoa, or salt as needed.
- Texture control: Want silkier? Use a high-speed blender. Want firmer? chill longer or use more solid coconut cream.
- Coffee trick: A pinch of instant coffee amplifies chocolate without making it taste like coffee.
Bold tip: If your coconut milk separates, warm it gently in a water bath and whisk back together before blending.
FAQ — quick answers to the obvious and not-so-obvious
Is this truly keto and paleo?
It can be both, depending on sweetener. Use maple syrup and omit strict keto sweeteners for paleo; use powdered erythritol/allulose for keto. Note: paleo folks typically avoid erythritol/xylitol.
Can I skip the avocado?
Yes—substitute with cream cheese (not paleo) or a blend of heavy cream + mascarpone for a richer, dairy version.
How many carbs?
Net carbs vary by ingredients and sweetener choice. Using almond flour crust, avocado, and erythritol, you’re typically around ~5g net carbs for the whole mini pie (estimate; track your brands).
What’s the best cocoa?
For flavor, Dutch-processed cocoa (e.g., Valrhona) gives the most indulgent, smooth profile. Raw cacao = nutritional perks, slightly different color and bright notes.
Any concerns for texture?
If the filling seems gritty, you likely used granulated sweetener without powdering it. Blitz it to a powder first or use powdered versions.
How this relates to other keto chocolate pies (so you can branch out)
If you love this, try riffs like a Keto German Chocolate Pie (add coconut and pecans), or a denser Keto Chocolate Chess Pie (egg-based custard, baked). This recipe sits closest to a Keto Chocolate Mousse Pie Recipe in texture—airy, satiny, and slightly givey.
Final thoughts — keep it simple, make it decadent
This French Silk Pie for one proves you don’t need a full pan or a giant grocery list to feel indulgent. It balances Low Carb Sweets satisfaction with real ingredients, and the single-serve format keeps portion control honest. Whether you call it a Keto French Silk Pie, a Silk Pie, or your new favorite Keto-friendly Chocolate Dessert, it deserves a spot in your dessert rotation.
Craving more? Try swapping the crust for a crunchy pecan base and call it a Keto German Chocolate Pie mini — or spoon the filling into cups for an impromptu Keto Chocolate Mousse Pie experience. Bottom line: keep experimenting and keep the cocoa high-quality.
Go on — make one tonight. You’ll look at avocado differently forever.

No-Bake Keto French Silk Pie For One — Irresistible Low Carb Dessert
- Prep Time: 20 minutes
- Total Time: 20 minutes
- Yield: 1 serving 1x
- Category: Dessert
Description
Ultra-smooth, deeply chocolatey, and ready without turning on the oven — this little no-bake French silk-style pie is a perfect one-person treat. Make one for yourself or double the recipe to share (or to hide in the back of the fridge).
Ingredients
Chocolate crust (low-carb “oreo” style)
- 25 g almond flour
- 2 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2–3 tsp powdered erythritol (or powdered allulose / xylitol)
- 1/8 tsp instant coffee (optional, but it amps the chocolate)
- Pinch of kosher salt
- 2–3 tsp melted grass-fed butter, ghee, or coconut oil (as needed to bind)
Silky chocolate filling
- 80 ml full-fat coconut milk (use the thicker part for a firmer set)
- 5–10 g cocoa powder or raw cacao (adjust to preferred chocolate intensity)
- 2–3 tbsp powdered erythritol or preferred powdered low-carb sweetener (to taste)
- ~50 g ripe avocado (about half a medium fruit)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp instant coffee (optional)
- Pinch (about 1/8 tsp) kosher salt — adjust to taste
Instructions
Make the crust
-
Warm the almond flour in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2–4 minutes, stirring often, until it smells toasty and turns slightly golden. Browning brings out flavor — don’t skip it.
-
Let the toasted almond flour cool briefly in a small bowl. Stir in the cocoa, powdered sweetener, instant coffee (if using), and salt.
-
Pour in the melted butter (or ghee/coconut oil) and mix until the mixture holds together like damp crumbs.
-
Press the mixture firmly into the base of a small (roughly 4½-inch / 12 cm) ramekin or mini pie dish. Pop it in the fridge while you prepare the filling.
Make the filling
-
Decide on texture: use the thick solid portion of chilled coconut milk for a firmer mousse, or briefly warm the can in a warm water bath to combine solids and liquids for a lighter, softer filling.
-
Place the avocado, coconut milk, cocoa, powdered sweetener, vanilla, instant coffee (optional), and salt into a blender, food processor, or tall container for an immersion blender. Purée until completely smooth and silky. Taste and tweak sweetness or salt as needed.
-
Spoon the chocolate mixture into the chilled crust and smooth the top. Chill in the refrigerator until set — about 30–60 minutes. If you’re short on time, a 10–15 minute stint in the freezer works, but watch it so it doesn’t freeze solid.
To serve
-
Garnish with a small swirl of whipped cream (keto or coconut-based), a few shaved dark chocolate flakes, or a sprinkle of cocoa. Enjoy cold.
Notes
- Notes & Tips
- Powdered sweeteners dissolve better and give a smoother texture than granulated; blitz granulated sweetener in a spice grinder if needed.
- If you follow a paleo protocol, swap the powdered sweetener for maple syrup (note: this raises carbs and changes texture).
- Use instant coffee sparingly — it deepens chocolate flavor without adding coffee taste if used in small amounts.
- This dessert keeps in the fridge covered for up to 3 days. Freeze only the filling (no crust) if you want longer storage; thaw in the fridge.
- Pet safety warning: xylitol is toxic to dogs. If using xylitol, keep this pie far from pets.
- Nutrition note
- Estimated net carbs will depend on your exact ingredients and sweetener choice. For a standard setup using erythritol/allulose and the amounts above, expect very low net carbs per single serving. Adjust ingredients as needed to match your macros.
