Equipment

  • 1 9” loose-bottomed pan
  • 1 Blender
  • 1 Stand Mixer

Ingredients

Crust

Pie Filling

Meringue Topping

  • 3eggs
  • 1/2tsp.cream of tartar
  • 1/4cupwater
  • 1tsp.vegetable glycerin
  • 5oz.xylitolor allulose (140 g.)

Instructions

Crust

  • Add the almond flour and lemon zest to a skillet or pan over medium heat and toast until golden brown, about 4 minutes, stirring often to toast evenly.
  • Remove from the heat, pour into a large bowl and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
  • Add the erythritol and sea salt. Combine.
  • Add the butter and mix until the almond flour is coated in butter.
  • Pour the almond mixture into a 9” loose-bottomed pan, and spread out evenly. Using a straight-sided glass, press the almonds down very firmly and evenly across the bottom and up the sides of the pan.**
  • Place the pan in the fridge for at least an hour, so the crust firms.

Lemon Filling

  • Put the water in a small, shallow dish.
  • Sprinkle the gelatin evenly over the surface and leave for 5 minutes.
  • Warm the butter in a pan or a bowl in the microwave until it melts. Do not let it get hot.
  • Add the eggs, lemon juice, xylitol, lemon zest and Keto Chow to a blender (in that order) and blend.
  • Scrape down the blender as needed and continue to blend until thoroughly mixed.
  • Turn the blender to low, and pour the melted butter through the hole in the lid until mixed in.
  • Pour the lemon mixture into the skillet. Cook the curd, stirring constantly, over a low heat until it’s very thick and coats the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and add the bloomed gelatin.
  • Stir until the gelatin is completely melted and mixed in.
  • Place a sieve over a large bowl and pour the lemon curd through the sieve to remove any lumps.
  • Spoon the lemon filling into the cold crust and spread evenly.
  • Place pie in the fridge for at least an hour.

Meringue Topping

  • Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Put the egg whites into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Whip the whites on medium speed for a minute until they become frothy.
  • Add the cream of tartar to the egg whites and continue whipping until they become soft peaks.
  • Reduce the speed of the mixer to low.
  • Put the water, glycerin, and xylitol in a small pan over a medium heat. Stir continuously until the xylitol is melted and the syrup is clear.
  • Stop stirring the syrup, insert the candy thermometer or digital thermometer and continue to heat until the syrup reaches 240°F. Be careful not to burn your skin.
  • Remove the pan from the heat, raise the mixer speed to medium, and slowly pour the hot syrup into the egg whites in a thin, steady stream. Aim to have the syrup hit the egg whites, not the bowl.
  • As soon as all the syrup has been mixed in, raise the mixer speed to high and continue whipping for 3 more minutes until the meringue is glossy and just warm to the touch.
  • Spoon the fluff over your chilled Lemon Meringue Pie and form into a dome.
  • You can broil for a few minutes or use a culinary torch if you want to brown the meringue topping.

Notes
