Have you ever had ooey gooey butter cake? There are a zillion recipes for it out there but they all tie into three ingredients: sugar, butter, and sometimes cream cheese. One day after a friend of mine was on a things-I-can’t-eat-on-keto recipe sharing binge, I thought to myself: OK, enough. It’s time to get on this butter pie, KETO STYLE.
When I first started using Steviva, my first impression was that this was the first Stevia/Erythritol blend that didn’t feel overpowering with the cooling effect that can come with some other products I’ve tried. The only downside is eating too many treats. 🙂
As it turns out, it’s never been a very complicated recipe with regular grains and sugar, so it’s a very simple ketogenic recipe, as well! And it’s super filling, so you can cut it into 12 servings or more. And it’s goooooood! And also, best when chilled for at least two hours.

Oh My Goodness!!!! I cannot wait to try this!!! Thanks for posting it!
Just cut into this, and it was delicious!
Hi Amanda!
Do the pie need vanilla extract or some other flavoring? Also, the links provided to Steviva are not working.
Thanks, Amanda!
Hi Donna,
I was out of vanilla at the time, so I didn’t use it and it came out great (and didn’t seem to need it). I’m sure it would be fine to add, if you prefer!
I think the email I just sent out might have broken their site but I replaced the one above with an Amazon link. 🙂
Hey how do you think this would taste if I didnt add Stevia? Thanks!
I think it might be more like quiche. Try it out and let me know!
I am thinking of making it without the crust. Do you think it would work
It might be harder to cut into distinct slices, but if you give it a try, come back and let me know!
I made this over the weekend without the crust. It was delicious and cut just fine but I would cut the baking down time next time. I ended up over-baking it. It got pretty evenly brown at 30 minutes so maybe start watching it closely around 20-25 minutes if you make it crustless.
Thanks for the heads up on the baking time! I made this pie last weekend and it is unbelievably delicious! I started checking the pie around 25 minutes …. and took it out at 30 minutes. I’m so super excited to make another one this weekend! My husband (who never likes any sort of “diet” food) is SOLD on this recipe! He even decided to join the keto diet with me! Anyone out there who tries this recipe… you will be hooked! It’s the bomb!
I make all of my cheesecakes and pumpkin pie, too, crustless. It works just fine.
Do
You have a pumpkin pie recipie that you don’t mind sharing, I’m a pumpkin pie lover
Pumpkin pie recipe?
Perhaps you could use muffin cups.
You should try Steviva’s MonkSweet Plus. It’s even better, with NO cooling effect or bitterness. It’s a mixture of erythritol, stevia and monkfruit. I discovered it through an article about it almost two years ago and was only available through the Steviva site. Now i can buy it it on Amazon. Can’t wait to try it in this pie!
Let me know how it goes! I have that as well, but haven’t played with it yet. 🙂
What are the carb, calorie and fat grams please.
Hi Pam! They’re right at the top of the recipe card with the description. 🙂 Enjoy!
Can you use just Erythritol?
Erythritol isn’t very sweet, but you could use it with some added Stevia. You may need to taste test so it’s not bitter, as I haven’t tried it that way.
Has this been tried by anyone not using any sweetener? Maybe with vanilla or lemon? Mint? I don’t use sweeteners of any kind.
I think it may be more like quiche 🙂
This was pretty damn amazing! You weren’t kidding about letting it chill though. I thought it was way too soft and eggy when I cut into it warm, but the next day was 10 times better.
Yes definitely, patience is sooo worth it!
I made this recipe the other day and it smelled and looked so good, that I let it cool for about 25 minutes and then couldn’t wait any longer, and had a serving. Yes, it was a bit gooey but oh so good warm! For my second serving on day 2, I warmed the piece in the microwave for about 20 seconds.
I did not use a crust and for my liking, it was just fine without. I might use a nut crust next time. This is absolutely easy and yummy and is now going into regular rotation at my house.
I made this this week, and my husband loves it! I’m not a huge fan of the stevia taste, so I may try it with vanilla or something else next time. The texture is great, and it’s a perfect dessert though! I was surprised at how much it rose in the oven, but it settled down quite a bit in the fridge after.
Did you try Steviva (as opposed to stevia)? It’s a really excellent stevia/erythritol blend where you can’t taste the stevia. I have found it to be the best tasting blend I’ve found that tastes like the real stuff. If yes, then adding vanilla may help!
I don’t have steviva but want to try once I use up my swerve and pyure. Should I change the measurements of the sweetener I have on hand, or would it be the same?
I’ve got this in the oven as I type. I made it with Swerve instead of Stevia and will let you know how it tastes. Thanks for the recipe. Husband started Keto with me this week and he loves egg custard pie. I’m sure he’ll enjoy this. Thanks for posting.
For Swerve you may need to use double, Steviva Blends isn’t 1:1 to sugar like most brands (I’m guessing Swerve also?) you only need 1/2 the amount.
Brenda how was it with swerve? That is what I have and was going to try using that since it’s what I’ve got on hand.
I have always made gooey butter cake for football games on Saturdays, so I’m so happy to have found a Keto recipe for this amazing dessert.
How was it with Swerve? Did you need to double it? Did you use the granular Swerve or confectioners Swerve?
Thanks!
Only thing I do not have in the ingredient list is cream cheese. [ I never keep it because it goes bad before I can find a use for it ] can it be made without it, or hwc as a sub??
Sorry I don’t think you could sub HWC for Cream cheese, it wouldn’t thicken the way it needs to. I’d wait until you grab some cream cheese 🙂
Hi can this be frozen into portions? Thanks
I just made this pie, it’s amazing! I also made it without eggs and just put it in a tub for a spoonful from time to time!
Is almond meal the same as almond flour or so I need to get almond meal for this recipe?
Yes, it is the same!
Almond flour has been crushed more…is more “powdery” (for lack of a better word) than Almond meal..but we like the Almond meal most often because we like the less processed Almond crunch.
Funny, I saw the original recipe not too long ago and thought it would be delicious but have since started Keto so gave up on the idea, I will have to try 🙂 and the other side of the state is still the other side of the state even if it only takes 45 minutes to get there, i wouldn’t want to live anywhere else!!
I was wondering if anyone had tried adding some unsweetened chocolate to the mix? I think it might thicken up the batter a bit, but I’ll probably just add a bit more egg or butter to even it out.
Am I the only one that doesn’t see the pumpkin pie filling in the ingredients list? I would really love to make this but I don’t see how much canned pumpkin to add 🙁
Hi Carly, there isn’t any pumpkin pie filling in this recipe, it’s not a pumpkin pie recipe 🙂
I made this this morning and it was delish!
Does this taste like a dessert or is it eggy?
It tastes 100% like dessert. 🙂
My husband and I love this recipe! My daughter and her husband do as well. I make it exactly as written and the crust is almost like a shortbread cookie. One of our favorite KETO desserts!
I didn’t see a response to the comment about using Swerve – did you need to change the amount? Was it granular or confectioners used? My husband loves butter cake and I want to make this for him to try since we’re both Keto.
Thanks!
Hi, I don’t use swerve and haven’t tried so I can’t really say how to adjust 🙂 if you try it let me know how it comes out!
Oh but the Steviva Blends noted in the recipe is Fine aka powdered. 🙂
Thanks, I noticed someone else commented about using swerve, but didn’t see her post about how it turned out. I’ll try to use the same amount as your recipe and see how it goes. Thanks!
I made this with 1/3 C swerve and 1/3 C splenda and added 1tsp of vanilla extract. It is one of my non-keto friends favorite dessert I make. It is rich and delicious. I make it without the crust so it is super fast too.

Thanks so much for your hard work in creating and posting delicious recipes for us!
Oh no! Did you use Steviva Blend (not Stevia) as the sweetener? Any other adjustments?
add 1 tablespoon of vanilla, and 1 teaspoon of almond extract!
Has anyone tried making this in a cheesecake springform pan with just crust on the bottom ?
I’m allergic to nuts, can this be made with coconut flour?
This is the epitome of cream pies! I can’t wait to make it again.
I tried to do the whipped cream like you did in the photos, mine didn’t come out as good lol but the whole pie was delicious. Next time I might drizzle some chocolate sauce on top.
Hey there! Love your recipes!! Can I leave out the Stevia Glycerite? I tried before and it has an awful taste to me! Bitter and made the results terrible. I had to throw it out.
