Ingredients
1/2 cup nuts or pumpkin seeds (your choice)
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/3 cup almond flour
1/2 cup low carb sweetener or 1/2 teaspoon stevia
8 tablespoons unsalted softened butter
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon liquid stevia
16 ounces softened cream cheese
1/2 cup sugar free maple syrup
1/4 cup brown sugar substitute
1/2 teaspoon salt
1.5 cups chopped pecans
Instructions
1-Start: Start by blending the crust ingredients in a food processor until smooth, then press the mixture evenly into a lightly greased 9-inch pie pan or springform pan. This ensures a firm base without needing parchment paper.
2-Whip Cream: Next, whip the heavy cream with stevia and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form, which adds a light and airy quality to the filling.
3-Blend Filling: In a separate bowl, blend the softened cream cheese, sweetener, sugar-free maple syrup, and salt until creamy using an electric mixer.
4-Fold Ingredients: Gently fold the whipped cream into this mixture until smooth, then stir in 1 cup of chopped pecans for that signature nutty taste.
5-Spread and Refrigerate: Spread the filling over the prepared crust and sprinkle the remaining pecans on top for a beautiful finish. Cover the pie and refrigerate for 6 to 8 hours or overnight to set properly.
6-Garnish: Once ready, garnish with whipped cream around the edges if desired.
