The amount of fat is lower than the egg count. By pouring a tablespoon or two of melted organic coconut oil over a slice before serving it you can solve this “problem”.

INSTRUCTIONS
The crust
- Preheat the oven to 360 °F. Grease an round baking pan(8 or 9-inch) with some butter. Grease (another)smaller baking pan as well.
- Using an electric mixer, mix together baking powder, 1 tbsp. psyllium husks, eryhtritol, and Five eggs.
- Into the round baking pan, pour around ¾ of the mixture for the crust. Into the smaller pan pour the rest for the decoration strips. Bake for Ten minutes. A toothpick, inserted, must come out clean. Prepare the filling, while the two are cooling down. Keep the crust in the pan, when cooled down.
The filling
- Take the remaining Two eggs and from the yolks, separate the whites. Mix together vanilla, egg yolk, granulated erythritol, stevia extract, and cream cheese in a medium bowl, using a hand electric mixer.
- Beat the egg whites in a separate bowl using an electric mixer. Add in cream of tartar and powdered erythritol when they become fluffy. Beat until stiff peaks form. Carefully into the cream cheese and yolk mixture, fold the egg whites using a spatula. You want this mixture(to remain airy).
- On the cooled down crust, pour the filling.
The butter topping
- Blend together all four ingredients, using an electric mixer.
Assembling the pie
- Take the patch(smaller) of the “crust” and cut it into thin strips. On top of the pie, align the strips. Next, onto the pie, spoon the butter topping.
- For another 20 minutes, bake at 360 °F. Slice into 6 pieces after letting it cool down and enjoy.
- For a couple of days, keep leftover in the fridge. Over a slice, pour a tbsp. of melted coconut oil to get in more healthy fats.
