Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Grease 9-inch pie pan and set aside.
  • Mix together dry ingredients for the crust, then add the butter to the egg, then pour into the dry ingredients. Using your hands, mix wet and dry ingredients together to form a dough. Remove 4 tbsp worth of dough and set aside.
  • Take remaining dough and roll into a ball, then flatten into a disk, and put in your prepared pie pan. With wet hands (it helps!), smooth and press the dough into the pie pan to form pie crust. Prick holes in the base of crust using a fork.
  • Take baking sheet and put a bit of parchment on it. Take reserved dough and flatten into a pancake (you're crumbling it, so it doesn't have to be pretty) on the parchment paper.
  • Put both pie and baking sheet into the oven, if it can fit. You can also do the baking in two stages if needed.
  • Bake for 12-14 minutes. Set aside to cool completely.
  • Take pancake piece and crumble into what looks like cookie crumbs.
  • Now prepare your filling. Beat your softened cream cheese for 2-3 minutes, then add sweetener, extracts, Keto Chow, 3/4 cup of the cream, and the food coloring (if using). Beat until smooth and fluffy. If you want your filling to have cookie crumbs in it, add them now! (I totally spaced this and instead, I sprinkled them on top. Valid choice!) Set aside.
  • In a clean bowl, beat remaining cream to soft peaks. Set aside about 1/2 cup for topping. Fold remaining whipped cream into Keto Chow mixture.
  • Scoop into cooled pie shell. Smooth into dome shape.
  • For bonus points, top with some freshly chopped chocolate!
  • Chill for 4 hours or overnight.
