My Grandmother is diabetic and said she hasn't had a chocolate pie in years. I would like to make one for her for Thanksgiving. I know how to make a normal chocolate pie, but I can't seem to find a good pie crust that is sugar free! Any advice?

I like to use jello brand sugar free pudding mix, with sugar free cool whip. At my kroger they have in the diabetic food section sugar free pie crust. Like the grahan craker ones. I am a type 1 diabetic so I am able to use insulin to cover what ever I eat so at holidays I do eat the real thing, but I do make sugar free pudding in crust a lot and my kids even love it.

People with diabetes can eat anything they like.No reason to make this special treat sugar free.
Make sure Granny adjusts her meds to cover the Thanksgiving meal including a piece of chocolate pie.
My daughter [ 16 ] who has type 1 loves to make a pudding pie with a premade Graham cracker crust- yes there is sugar and carbs in there, and sugar free pudding.
Top with cool whip.

I couldn't find anything sugar free, but this is low in sugar, SORRY!!!!
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa, plus more for dusting
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus more for dusting
1 tablespoon strong coffee grounds
2 tablespoons walnuts
2 tablespoons mini chocolate morsels
2 tablespoons butterscotch morsels
2 teaspoons instant coffee
1 tablespoon warm water
2 eggs
1/4 cup Kahlua, divided
1/4 cup fat-free chocolate sauce, plus more for drizzling
4 cups low-fat coffee ice cream
2 cups fat-free whipped topping
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Coat a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray and set aside.
In an electric mixer, combine the flour, 1/4 cup cocoa, sugar, baking soda, salt, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, coffee grounds, walnuts, chocolate morsels, and butterscotch morsels and mix until combined.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant coffee and warm water. Add the eggs and 2 tablespoons of Kahlua and mix until thoroughly combined. Add egg mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until fully incorporated, forming a thick dough. Transfer dough to the springform pan, press to cover the surface evenly, and bake until firm and set, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and with a fork poke holes all over it. With a pastry brush, brush the remaining 2 tablespoons Kahlua over the warm crust. Repeat the same process with the chocolate sauce. Allow the crust to cool completely. Once cool, top with the ice cream and smooth out. Top with the whipped topping and smooth out. Place in the freezer and allow to freeze completely. Serve dusted with cinnamon and cocoa and a tiny drizzle of chocolate sauce.
ENJOY! HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!
