Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup erythritol
- 6 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 large egg
Filling
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the crust.
- Prepare the crust mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, cocoa powder, erythritol, and melted butter, mixing thoroughly.
- Add the egg: Incorporate the egg into the crust mixture and mix until everything is well combined to form a dough.
- Bake the crust: Press the dough evenly into a pie dish, then bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. Remove and allow to cool completely.
- Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, which will give the filling its fluffy texture.
- Prepare the cream cheese mixture: Beat the cream cheese until smooth, then add vanilla extract and sugar-free chocolate chips and mix until combined.
- Combine filling components: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to create a light and creamy filling.
- Assemble and chill: Pour the filling into the cooled crust and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to allow the pie to set before serving.
Notes
- Make sure to cool the crust completely before adding the filling to prevent it from becoming soggy.
- Use sugar-free chocolate chips to keep the recipe keto-friendly and low in sugar.
- Refrigerate the pie for a minimum of 4 hours or overnight for the best texture and flavor.
- This pie can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For an extra chocolate kick, you can melt additional sugar-free chocolate and drizzle on top before serving.
