- 1/4 cup vanilla (175 g / 6.2 oz - if you are allergic to nuts, try the crust from this recipe, 2.3 g net carbs)
- 1/4 cup erythritol (175 g / 6.2 oz - if you are allergic to nuts, try the crust from this recipe, 2.3 g net carbs)
- 1 large eggs (175 g / 6.2 oz - if you are allergic to nuts, try the crust from this recipe, 2.3 g net carbs)
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin coconut oil (175 g / 6.2 oz - if you are allergic to nuts, try the crust from this recipe, 2.3 g net carbs)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon spice mix (175 g / 6.2 oz - if you are allergic to nuts, try the crust from this recipe, 2.3 g net carbs)
- 1 teaspoon extract (175 g / 6.2 oz - if you are allergic to nuts, try the crust from this recipe, 2.3 g net carbs)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 175 °C/ 350 °F.
- Mix all the dry ingredients - the almond flour, whey protein and powdered Erythritol.
- Add the egg and coconut oil and process well.
- Place the dough into a non-stick pan with a removable bottom and press up the sides to create a "bowl" shape.
- Use a dough roller if needed.
- Ideally, use a baking sheet as lining for the bottom to ensure that the crust doesn't get stuck to it.
- Alternatively, separate the dough into 8 pieces and press into 8 mini tart pans like these.
- Place baking paper on top and use ceramic baking beans to weight the dough down.
- You will need them to prevent the dough from rising and creating air bubbles, especially if you are making a large pie.
- Place in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes.
- When done, remove from the oven and fill with your favourite filling (keto lemon curd, whipped cream, creamed coconut milk, low-carb custard, chocolate, berries, etc).
- If not using straight away, let the pie crust cool down.
- Once chilled, store in an airtight container and keep at room temperature.
