Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or square baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, combine the finely chopped pecans, Swerve, and melted butter for the crust. Mix well until all the pecans are coated.
- Press the pecan mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream with Swerve and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined. Spread this cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled pecan crust.
- In another bowl, prepare the sugar-free chocolate pudding according to the package instructions, using 1 cup of water. Once the pudding has thickened, spread it evenly over the cream cheese layer.
- Chill the dessert in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours, or until set.
- Once chilled, spread the sugar-free whipped topping over the chocolate pudding layer.
- Optional: Sprinkle additional chopped pecans on top for garnish.
- Serve chilled and enjoy your decadent Keto Chocolate Pudding Dessert
