Ingredients
Almond Flour Pie Crust
- 55 g butter
- 150 g almond meal/flour
- 1 tbsp granulated sweetener of choice or more, to taste
- 1 eggs - medium
Keto Lemon Curd (Pie Filling)
- 250 ml heavy whipping cream
- 3 eggs - medium
- 3 egg yolks
- 2 tbsp granulated sweetener of choice or more, to taste
- lemon zest
- 1 ½ tbsp lemon juice
Sugar-Free Meringue
- 3 egg whites
- 1 tbsp granulated sweetener of choice or more, to taste
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Almond Flour Pie Crust
- Melt the butter then mix in the almond flour and sweetener. Add the egg and mix again.
- Line the bottom of your pie dish with baking parchment paper, or grease with butter.
- Roll the almond flour pie crust between two sheets of baking paper or using the back of your hands or a cup. Press into your prepared pie dish. Make little holes all over the pie crust using a fork.
- Bake at 180C/350F for 10 minutes, until just golden.
Keto Lemon Curd (Pie Filling)
- Heat the cream in a saucepan until just below boiling. Do not allow it to bubble. Remove from the heat.
- In another bowl, whisk the eggs, egg yolks, and sweetener together until pale and fluffy. Add the lemon zest and lemon juice. Stir through.
- Slowly add a little of the warmed cream to the egg mixture, constantly whisking all the time to stop the eggs from curdling or cooking. Keep adding the cream slowly until they're all mixed through. Pour the filling (keto lemon curd) back into the saucepan and heat gently until the lemon curd is thickened.
- Once the keto lemon curd is as thick as custard, pour it onto the cooked pie crust and bake at 180C/350F for 10 minutes.
Sugar-Free Meringue
- Wipe around a large mixing bowl with kitchen paper to ensure it is free from any grease (which will stop the eggs whites from forming strong peaks).
- Add the egg whites, sweetener, and vanilla and whisk until soft peaks form. Place on top of the pie base and lemon curd.
- Bake at 180C/350F for another 10 - 15 minutes to allow the meringue to cook and go golden.
