TOPPING:

• ½ cup coconut shreds
• Two tablespoon heavy cream

• Two tablespoon butter
• 2 tbsp. Erythritol powder

INGREDIENT NOTES:

ALMOND FLOUR:

• Almond flour produces a soft, nutty crust. It is a low-carb substitute for ordinary flour. It is ideal for keto baking and is devoid of gluten. Use finely ground flour for the smoothest base.

COCOA POWDER:

• Cocoa powder gives the crust a rich chocolaty taste without additional sugar content. We use unsweetened cacao powder in this recipe. Here, both natural and Dutch-processed cocoa are suitable.

BUTTER:

• Butter helps the crust firm in the refrigerator and gives it moisture and richness. Using grass-fed butter enhances the flavor. Make sure it has melted before mixing.

ERYTHRITOL POWDER:

• Erythritol powder blends well and doesn’t have any graininess, making it a keto-friendly sweetener. Powder form is ideal for the crust, filling, and topping. It provides sweetness in moderation without raising blood sugar levels.

CREAM CHEESE:

• The filling’s base is cream cheese, which gives it a creamy, tangy feel. Soften it before combining to achieve a smooth consistency. It complements the chocolaty taste.

HEAVY CREAM:

• Both the filling and the topping gain lightness and creaminess from heavy cream. It provides fluffy texture after whipping. Make sure it’s cold for optimal results.

KETO CHOCOLATE:

• Unsweetened baking chocolate offers an indulgent chocolaty flavor without carbs. In order to prevent burning, melt it slowly. It produces a luscious filling when mixed with cream cheese and sugar.

VANILLA ESSENCE:

• Chocolate gains warmth and taste from the addition of vanilla essence. It balances the richness. Use pure vanilla essence rather than imitation.

COCONUT SHREDS:

• German chocolate pastries typically use shredded coconut to give them a chewy texture. Go for unsweetened to keep your carb intake modest. Its flavor is slightly enhanced by toasting.

PECANS:

• Pecans provide a nutty taste and crunchiness in the topping. Chop them slightly to ensure they mix equally with the topping. Improve their flavor by toasting them before usage.

FAQs:

Can I utilize coconut flour to prepare the pie crust?

• Coconut flour absorbs moisture and makes the crust dry. It is better to stick with almond flour to prepare a perfect crust.

Will I utilize any other sweetener?

• We can utilize monk fruit or stevia as an Erythritol substitute. It should be in powder form. Add the quantity of sweetener according to the sweetness level of the specific sweetener.

Can I prepare a non-dairy pie?

• Absolutely prepare a non-dairy pie with vegan cream cheese, dairy-free butter, and coconut cream as a dairy alternative.
