Instructions
Step 1: Make the Crust
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, cocoa powder, erythritol, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until a dough forms.
- Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan evenly.
- Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes. Remove and let it cool completely.
Step 2: Prepare the Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and erythritol together until light and fluffy.
- Mix in the vanilla extract and cocoa powder until well combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Beat the mixture for about 5–7 minutes until it becomes light and fluffy.
Step 3: Assemble the Pie
- Spread the chocolate filling evenly into the cooled pie crust.
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 1 hour to set.
Step 4: Make the Topping
- In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, erythritol, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the chilled chocolate filling.
- Optionally, garnish with chocolate shavings or a dusting of cocoa powder.
