🥘 Ingredient notes

Made with fresh strawberries, an almond crust and a creamy filling this low carb pie will feel like you are eating a luscious dessert.

• Almond Flour: ground blanched almonds were used for this recipe which gives it a slightly nutty flavour plus it's low carb and gluten free.
• Cream cheese: for that mild sweet taste and pleasant tang makes this pie feel like a cheesecake. I use a full fat cream cheese.
• Strawberries: fruity, sweet, and juicy, with a little bit of acidity perfect option to make this pie diabetic friendly and low carb.
• Erythritol: this is my favourite sweetener as I find it is the closest sweetener to sugar and as a type 2 diabetic it does not seem to spike my blood sugars. You can use other sweeteners if you prefer (see list of available low carb sweeteners on amazon) Keto Connect has great list of sweetener substitutes and a conversion chart.

👨🏻‍🍳 Steps by step instructions

How to make the Low Carb Strawberry Cream Pie

STEP 1: Make the crust by combining the almond flour, erythritol, melted butter and vanilla in a medium bowl. Mix well with a fork and spoon out onto a 9" pie pan and shape crust with your fingers. Place in fridge to set for 10 minutes.

STEP 2: for the pie filling use a stand mixer or hand blender and mix the cream cheese until smooth, then add the powdered erythritol and vanilla and mix well. Scrape down sides and add the heavy cream and mix on high for 1 minute.

STEP 3: Clean and dice the strawberries and fold into the cream mixture. Then scoop out onto the pie crust and smooth it out with a spatula. Allow to sit in the fridge for up to 4 hours.

STEP 4: to make the strawberry sauce clean and cut strawberries and place into a medium size pot with erythritol and water. Allow to simmer on medium for about 3-5 minutes. Mash with a potato masher and then strain into pot to obtain the liquid. Add a pinch of xanthan gum and whisk vigorously. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

STEP 5: Once sauce is cooled pour onto pie and add fresh berries for garnish (optional)
