Ingredients:

For the crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1/4 cup erythritol
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the filling:

  • 1 1/2 cups pecans
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 cup erythritol
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, erythritol, and salt for the crust. Add in the melted butter and stir until well-combined.
  3. Press the mixture into a 9-inch pie dish, making sure the crust is even and covers the bottom and sides of the dish.
  4. Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
  5. While the crust is baking, prepare the filling. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add in the erythritol and stir until dissolved.

  7. Stir in the pecans, and then pour the filling into the baked crust.
