Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
To make the crust, in a medium bowl, combine almond flour, shredded coconut, and the low-carb sweetener.
Melt 0.5 cup of butter and add it along with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until fully combined and a dough forms.
Press the dough mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust.
Place the crust in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until lightly golden. Allow it to cool completely.
While the crust is cooling, prepare the filling. In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over 0.25 cup cold water and let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
In a medium saucepan, combine sour cream, softened cream cheese, heavy cream, and powdered erythritol.
Over low heat, stir the mixture continuously until the cream cheese has melted and the mixture is smooth.
Stir in the bloomed gelatin until it fully dissolves in the mixture, then remove from heat.
Mix in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and continue stirring until the mixture is well-blended.
Pour the cream filling into the cooled almond crust.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or until fully set before serving.
Slice and enjoy your low carb classic cream pie!
