For the Silk Pie Filling:

👩‍🍳 Instructions

✅ Step 1: Make the Crust

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish with butter or nonstick spray.

  2. 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.

  3. Add the egg and vanilla, then stir or pulse until the dough holds together in crumbles.

  4. Press the dough evenly into your prepared pie dish, forming the base and up the sides.

  5. Bake for 10–15 minutes, or until firm. Let it cool completely before adding filling.


✅ Step 2: Prepare the Chocolate Filling

  1. Melt the dark chocolate and set it aside to cool slightly.

  2. In a large mixing bowl, blend cream cheese, sour cream, and whipping cream until smooth.

  3. Add the melted chocolate, cocoa powder, sweetener, and vanilla.

  4. Using a hand mixer, whip for 3–4 minutes, or until light, fluffy, and mousse-like.

  5. Pour the filling into the cooled crust and spread evenly.

  6. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight, until fully set.


✅ Step 3: Whip the Cream Topping

  1. In a clean bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sweetener, and vanilla on high until stiff peaks form.

  2. Top each slice (or the entire pie) with whipped cream just before serving.

  3. Garnish with dark chocolate shavings or a dusting of cocoa powder for a beautiful finish.
