Instructions:

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Make the Crust: In a medium bowl, mix together the almond flour, powdered erythritol, melted butter, salt, and vanilla extract until it resembles a wet sand consistency. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and sides of the prepared pie pan to form a crust.
  3. Bake the Crust: Place the crust in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.
  4. Prepare the Lemon Filling: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, powdered erythritol, lemon juice, lemon zest, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
  5. Fill and Bake: Pour the lemon filling into the prepared crust. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and no longer jiggles in the center. Keep an eye on the crust; if it begins to brown too much, cover the edges with foil to prevent burning.
  6. Cool and Chill: Allow the pie to cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to let it firm up.
  7. Serve: Slice and enjoy your Keto Lemon Pie chilled. Garnish with whipped cream or a sprinkle of lemon zest if desired!

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor, as it adds brightness that bottled juice may lack.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. This pie can also be frozen; simply thaw in the fridge before serving.

This Keto Lemon Pie is creamy, tart, and the perfect dessert to brighten up your day!
