Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Stevia or erythritol sweetener
- 1 cup Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 1.5 cups Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 5 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Dark chocolate chips (sugar-free)
- 3 large Eggs
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, 1 tablespoon of stevia or erythritol, melted coconut oil, and a pinch of salt. Mix until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the almond flour mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust. Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add cocoa powder and the remaining 2 tablespoons of sweetener, stirring continuously until well combined.
Slowly stir in heavy cream and vanilla extract. Continue stirring until the mixture is smooth and heated through, about 3-4 minutes, then remove from heat.
In a small heatproof bowl, melt the sugar-free dark chocolate chips either in a microwave in 30-second intervals or over a double boiler. Stir until smooth.
Gradually whisk the melted chocolate into the cocoa mixture in the saucepan, stirring until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then slowly temper them by adding a small amount of the warm chocolate mixture into the eggs while whisking constantly.
Continue to add more of the chocolate mixture into the eggs, a little at a time, until fully combined.
Pour the chocolate mixture into the pre-baked almond flour crust.
Bake the pie in the oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set, and a gentle jiggle remains in the center.
Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours or until thoroughly chilled.
Slice and serve cold. Enjoy a rich and creamy sugar-free chocolate pie!
