INGREDIENTS NOTES:
ALMOND FLOUR:
- Almond Flour is a keto-friendly substitute for regular flour, and almond flour serves as the base of the crust. It works nicely in low-carb baking and adds a rich, nutty flavor.
COCOA POWDER:
- We have to use unsweetened cocoa powder for the most chocolate flavor without extra sugar. It’s essential to maintain the keto nature of this dessert.
SWEETNER:
- We can use stevia, Allulose, or Erythritol powder as alternatives to sugar. We should use the powder Erythritol to cream have a smoother texture the filling whips better.
XANTHAN GUM:
- Xanthan Gum is used to thicken the chocolate custard filling without adding carbohydrates, and we use a tiny bit of xanthan gum. Xanthan gum also aids in producing a sturdy & smooth texture.
HEAVY CREAM:
- Full-fat heavy cream gives the filling and topping a richer texture. If you want to make the non-dairy chocolate cream pie then we can use the coconut cream.
