Ingredients
For the Keto Pie Crust:
1 ½ cups almond flour
¼ cup coconut flour
¼ cup melted butter
1 tbsp erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
1 large egg
½ tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
For the Chocolate Filling:
1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
4 oz cream cheese, softened
½ cup unsweetened almond milk
½ cup powdered erythritol
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp gelatin or xanthan gum (for firmness)
Pinch of salt
3 oz unsweetened chocolate, chopped
Whipped Topping:
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tbsp powdered sweetener
½ tsp vanilla extract
Optional: Dark chocolate shavings or cocoa powder for garnish
Making the Crust
Step 1: Mix the Dough
In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, sweetener, and salt. Add in melted butter, egg, and vanilla. Stir until the dough forms a sticky but firm consistency.
Step 2: Press into Pie Pan
Grease a 9-inch pie pan with coconut oil or butter. Press the dough evenly across the bottom and up the sides. Poke holes with a fork to prevent puffing.
Step 3: Bake and Cool
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the crust for 10–12 minutes or until golden. Allow it to cool completely before adding filling.
Crafting the Creamy Chocolate Filling
Step 1: Heat and Whisk
In a saucepan, heat almond milk and sweetener over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Whisk in cocoa powder and chopped chocolate until fully melted.
Step 2: Add Thickener
Sprinkle in gelatin (or xanthan gum) and whisk continuously to dissolve completely and thicken the mixture.
Step 3: Cream Cheese Addition
Remove from heat. Whisk in the softened cream cheese until smooth and lump-free. Fold in vanilla and a pinch of salt.
Step 4: Chill and Set
Pour the filling into the cooled crust. Spread evenly and refrigerate for 4–6 hours or until fully set.
Whipped Topping
Whip heavy cream with sweetener and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Top the chilled pie with the cream and garnish as desired.
Tips for Perfect Results
