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

Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure your cream cheese and eggs are at room temp to avoid clumps.

Chocolate Quality: Use high-quality unsweetened chocolate for a deeper flavor.

Firmer Texture: If you like your pie firmer, increase gelatin to 1.5 tbsp.

Variations

Mocha Chocolate Pie: Add 1 tsp instant coffee to the filling.

Peppermint Chocolate Pie: Add a few drops of peppermint extract.

Nutty Crust: Mix in crushed pecans or walnuts with the crust dough for added crunch.

Storing & Freezing

Refrigerate: Keeps well in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Freeze: Wrap tightly and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.
