Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 0.25 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 cups granulated erythritol or low-carb sweetener
- 0.25 cups butter, melted
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cups heavy whipping cream
- 4 ounces unsweetened dark chocolate, melted and cooled
- 0.5 cups powdered low-carb sweetener
- 2 units large eggs
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish with butter or cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and granulated erythritol. Mix well.
Add the melted butter and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the chocolate almond mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pie dish to form the crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. Remove and let cool completely.
For the filling, in a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until light and fluffy.
Add the heavy whipping cream, melted and cooled dark chocolate, powdered low-carb sweetener, and eggs. Mix until smooth and fully incorporated.
Add the vanilla extract and mix again to combine.
Pour the filling into the cooled crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake the pie in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15 minutes or until the edges are set while the center remains slightly jiggly.
Remove from the oven and let cool at room temperature before refrigerating for at least 2-3 hours to fully set.
Slice and serve chilled. Optionally, garnish with whipped cream or shaved dark chocolate.
