Preheat the oven to 350 F (180C). Dice the chayote into small pieces. Add ⅓ cup of powdered sweetener, cinnamon, ground cardamom, lemon juice, vanilla extract, gelatin, and ⅛ tsp kosher salt. Mix well with a spoon. Pour the mixture into a small casserole dish.
In a small food processor, crush the pecans to a fine crumble. You want to make sure the crumble is fine, but not a powder. The size of the finished crumble should be about the size of a peppercorn. Then transfer the crumble to a bowl and combine it with the remaining sweetener, salt, and softened butter.
Add the crumble on top of the diced spiced chayote. Bake 20-25 minutes or until the top is nicely golden brown. Allow the crisp to cool so the gelatin will thicken the fruit slightly.
The filling will thicken as the crisp cools. Serve warm with Keto vanilla ice cream, if desired. The crisp will last in the fridge for up to three days.
