Ingredients
Method
Preparation of the Crust
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a bowl, mix the almond flour, melted coconut oil (or butter), erythritol, and beaten egg until combined.
- Press the mixture into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan.
- Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden. Set aside to cool.
Preparation of the Filling
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsweetened chocolate until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
- In another bowl, whip the cream using an electric mixer, beating ¾ cup of the heavy whipping cream until it forms soft peaks. Set it aside.
- In a mixing bowl, blend the melted chocolate with the powdered erythritol and a pinch of salt. Stir until smooth and well combined.
- Fold in half of the whipped cream to the chocolate mixture, combining gently until no streaks remain.
- Then fold in the remaining whipped cream and vanilla extract until the mixture is silky and smooth.
Assembly and Chilling
- Scoop the filling into the cooled crust and spread evenly.
- Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow it to set.
- Garnish with any remaining whipped cream or chocolate shavings if desired before serving.
Notes
For the best flavor, use high-quality unsweetened chocolate. Allow adequate chilling time for the pie to set properly.
