Ingredients
For the crust
- 1/2 cup hazelnuts, toasted
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sweetener (of course we use golden monkfruit)
- 6 Tablespoons of butter
For the filling
- 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter, softened
- 6 ounces(1 cup) keto chocolate chips, melted (can use 100% unsweetened bakers chocolate that you sweeten yourself)
- 2/3 cup powdered sweetener (golden monkfruit) works great)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup egg substitute (fresh or frozen)
For the topping
- 1 1/2 cups whipping cream, divided
- 4 ounces of keto semisweet chcolate or 100% unsweetened bakers chocolate
Instructions
Making the crust
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch pie plate. We would recommend linning it with parchment paper.
In a food processor, process hazelnuts until finely ground. Add almond flour and granulated sweetener; process until blended.
Add butter; pulse until mixture is moist and crumbly.
Press the crumb mixture firmly and evenly into bottom and sides of pie plate.
Bake crust until golden brown, 20 – 25 minutes. Transfer pie plate to a wire rack to cool.
Making the filling
In a large bowl, using an electric mixer set on medium speed, beat butter and powdered sweetener until fluffy, about 3 minutes.
On low speed, beat in melted chocolate and vanilla.
On high speed, gradually beat in egg substitute, scraping bowl often, until fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Pour filling into baked crust; spread evenly. Cover loosely; chill overnight.
Making the topping
In a small saucepan, heat 6 tablespoons of the whipping cream and chocolate over low heat; stir constantly until chocolate is partially melted, about 3 minutes.
Remove from heat; stir until chocolate is completely melted. Let cool to room temperature.
In a small bowl, using an electric mixer set on low speed, beat remaining cream until soft peaks form, about 1 to 2 minutes.
Add the cooled chocolate mixture; using the electric mixer on low speed, beat just until stiff peaks form.
Spoon chocolate cream into a large pastry bag fitted with a large star tip.
Pipe the chocolate cream topping into swirled mounds around the outside edges of the pie.
Tips
Egg substitute is pasteruized, eliminating the problems associated with raw eggs. It is available fresh or frozen.
For a simle addition sprinkle chopped hazelnuts in the center of the pie.
Using topping in two colors, chocolate and regular, offers many design choices.
For a richer flavor add coco powder to crust.
For an easy dessert, make this pie crustless.
