Black bottom pie is an old fashioned favorite of dense chocolate custard and lighter-than-air chiffon filling topped with whipped cream and chocolate shavings. Try my sugar-free version for a truly great low carb dessert.

If you?ve poked around my low carb dessert section you?ve noticed I have several recipes for low carb pies and sugar-free layered desserts. Most are easy no-bake recipes requiring a few minutes of stove time and a pre-baked pie crust. This Black Bottom Pie is such a recipe.
You can thank (or blame) my husband for all of the pie recipes – he LOVES pie. And so, I devote a lot of time thinking about my next pie creation. Sometimes, I take a popular low carb recipe from my site and vary the flavors. Other times, I think outside the box and make something totally new like the low carb Strawberry Cream Pie I posted last year. Yet, every once in a while I find recipe inspiration in vintage cook books.
I found the recipe for this amazing low carb Black Bottom Pie in my mother?s vintage Betty Crocker Cookbook. A book which shows its age with tattered and splattered pages; each yellowed around the edges. It took some fiddling, but I lowered the carbs in this black bottom pie with stellar results. And since it?s a no-bake recipe you can use your favorite pre-baked pie crust recipe. (I?ll link to some great options below.)
