Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Butter
- 0.5 cup Erythritol sweetener
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Pecans
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the almond flour and 1 tablespoon of erythritol.
Melt 4 tablespoons of butter and mix it into the almond flour mixture until it forms a crumbly texture.
Press the mixture into the base of a 9-inch pie pan to form an even crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
For the filling, in a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, remaining erythritol, salt, and vanilla extract until combined.
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the remaining butter and then remove it from heat. Stir in the heavy cream and coconut flour until smooth.
Slowly pour the butter mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from cooking.
Chop half of the pecans and stir them into the filling mixture.
Pour the filling into the cooled crust and top with the remaining whole pecans.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
Allow the pie to cool completely before serving to ensure it sets properly.
