👩🍳 Instructions
✅ Step 1: Make the Crust
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish with butter or nonstick spray.
-
In a large bowl (or food processor), combine almond flour, cocoa powder, sweetener, baking powder, sea salt, and butter. Mix until it resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Add the egg and vanilla, then stir or pulse until the dough holds together in crumbles.
-
Press the dough evenly into your prepared pie dish, forming the base and up the sides.
-
Bake for 10–15 minutes, or until firm. Let it cool completely before adding filling.
✅ Step 2: Prepare the Chocolate Filling
-
Melt the dark chocolate and set it aside to cool slightly.
-
In a large mixing bowl, blend cream cheese, sour cream, and whipping cream until smooth.
-
Add the melted chocolate, cocoa powder, sweetener, and vanilla.
-
Using a hand mixer, whip for 3–4 minutes, or until light, fluffy, and mousse-like.
-
Pour the filling into the cooled crust and spread evenly.
-
Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight, until fully set.
✅ Step 3: Whip the Cream Topping
-
In a clean bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sweetener, and vanilla on high until stiff peaks form.
-
Top each slice (or the entire pie) with whipped cream just before serving.
-
Garnish with dark chocolate shavings or a dusting of cocoa powder for a beautiful finish.
