Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 ½ cups almond flour
  • 3 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1/3 cup sweetener
  • ¼ cup butter (solid)
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • 1 large egg

Chocolate Filling

  • 16 oz cream cheese (room temperature)
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 3 oz dark chocolate (melted)
  • ½ cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)
  • ½ cup sweetener (or more to taste)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Whipped Cream Topping

  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp powdered sweetener
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Garnish

  • Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder

Instructions

  1. Make the Crust: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking. In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, cocoa powder, sweetener, baking powder, sea salt, and solid butter. Whisk thoroughly or use a food processor to blend until the butter is fully incorporated.
  2. Add Egg and Form Dough: Add one large egg to the mixture and process or mix until the dough forms crumbly pieces that hold together when pressed.
  3. Shape and Bake Crust: Using your hands, press the dough evenly into the prepared pie dish, spreading it out to cover the bottom and sides uniformly. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until the crust is set. Remove from oven and allow it to cool completely before filling.
  4. Prepare Chocolate Filling: In a large bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, heavy whipping cream, melted dark chocolate, unsweetened cocoa powder, sweetener, and vanilla extract. Using a hand mixer, blend the ingredients on medium-high speed for 3 to 4 minutes until the filling is light, fluffy, and well combined.
  5. Fill the Pie and Chill: Pour the prepared chocolate filling into the cooled pie crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate the pie for at least 6 hours to allow it to set properly and develop the creamy texture.
  6. Make Whipped Cream Topping: In a clean, large mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, powdered sweetener, and vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer to beat the mixture on high speed until soft peaks form and the whipped cream is light and fluffy.
  7. Serve and Garnish: Slice the chilled pie and top each serving with a generous dollop of whipped cream. Garnish with chocolate shavings or a dusting of cocoa powder for an elegant finish.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese and sour cream are at room temperature for a smoother filling texture.
  • You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sweetener according to your taste preferences.
  • Use a fine mesh sieve to dust cocoa powder on top for an even, professional look.
  • For extra crispness, blind bake the crust with pie weights for 10 minutes if you prefer a firmer crust.
  • This pie can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
