Crust Ingredients:-
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup powdered erythritol or sweetener of choice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup melted butter
Filling Ingredients:-
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk
- 1/2 cup powdered erythritol or sweetener of choice
- 3 egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Instructions:-
Crust:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a bowl, combine the almond flour, powdered sweetener, salt, and melted butter. Mix until a dough forms.
- Press the dough evenly into the bottom of a pie dish.
- Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes or until it’s lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool.
Filling:-
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, almond/coconut milk, and powdered sweetener. Heat the mixture until it’s just about to simmer, stirring occasionally.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Gradually whisk in a small amount of the hot cream mixture into the yolks to temper them.
- Pour the tempered yolks back into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture, stirring constantly.
- Whisk in the coconut flour and continue cooking and stirring until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove the mixture from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and chopped pecans.
- Pour the filling into the cooled pie crust and spread it evenly.
- Let the pie cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours or until set.
- Optionally, garnish the pie with whipped cream and additional chopped pecans before serving….
